He was once reviewed by the Evening Standard as having “talent galore. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by George Benson, he sings winningly and plays the guitar superbly”, while he currently sits on the latest Jazz FM playlist with a brand new track from 'Soul Searching', his wonderful and very personal new album. Eight long years of soul searching have culminated in what is Goods' seventh full-length record, but also an album that can be seen as a new beginning. Although containing feelgood music influenced by Jazz, Soul, Blues and ‘70s Westcoast\/AOR sounds - not to mention a number of star turns by feel-good guest musicians\/friends - lyrically it tells the story of his recent visual transformation brought about by the autoimmune disorder Alopecia. Thankfully, the now 42 year-old musician is otherwise healthy, but the disease has been a source of immense emotional stress; becoming accustomed to his hairless appearance is a central theme of the album, as evidenced by songs such as ‘Naked Funk’ and ‘I Had To Learn Not To Care’.Goods wrote the latter track with the hugely successful German pop singer Sarah Connor,\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erminal T","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50394086277451,"sku":"2052435","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50394086572363,"sku":"2052442","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/torsten-goods-soul-searching-20230820120254_e62d8e2f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726432067"},{"product_id":"soul-deep-ue","title":"Soul Deep","description":"\u003cp\u003eGerman\/Irish soul singer and virtuoso guitarist Torsten Goods pours his very soul into our ears with 'Soul Deep', his eighth album. Far more than a mere follow-up to 'Soul Searching', his successful 2023 release, the twelve new songs here (ten on the vinyl format) are either self-written or co-written with his British soul brother Bluey Maunick of Incognito, presenting Goods as a mature artist, heavily influenced by soul, but also jazz, blues and the summery west coast\/AOR sounds of late 70s California. And, as virtuosic, polished and well-produced as it is, Goods nevertheless achieves a combination of sound and voice that touches the soul of the listener. A balm and enrichment for all, profound and intense, this album is really 'Soul Deep'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erminal T","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53212837314891,"sku":"R4578-8258","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":53212837347659,"sku":"R4578-5182","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_2b42e655-0967-444b-8253-d3c9bf0d85a2.jpg?v=1755687625"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/torsten-goods.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
