Apologies for the delay in posting up a winner for our July competition to win the Two Atlantic Soul albums, I wanted to give enough time to properly read all entries before making a choice. However, I’m pleased to confirm that the winner is the following entry from Marie in France. Marie’s English may not be the best but in a way that chimed with the subject matter and the feeling of the post won over my soppy heart.

Before all sorry for my English, I’m a french woman. But i want to answer to this question.

So what does soul music means to me ? Soul music is not simply a genre of music, it’s more that than, it’s the life, the emotions which emanate from a music.

Soul music is universal, it is a music, an emotion that no matter who can seize, to feel. If the words we be of a language foreign, we can all the same feel the music, it there have not some barrier, not some border, no matter who can listen to and include it that want do feel this music, quite simply because it calls upon emotion of every days, of thing that each one of we feel.
This music is the most beautiful in this world. Sometimes, when you listen to soul music, you can do an introspection, you can teach yourself about some subject, you can understand certain emotion.
This music is for every one….poor people, rich people… French people, African people, Chinese people… This music is unique. Every one loves her, she is my lover… Like common with hip hop, me it’s with soul music.

So, congrats to Marie whose copies of the album will be winging themselves to her shortly. Thanks to everyone who entered, honourable mentions have to go to Richard Washington and Dave Thomas who came very close. I’ll have a look round my promos and try and get something to you guys as runner up prizes.
