Following up on their explosive and critically acclaimed debut album Free To
Believe (2015, Do Right Music), Canada’s premiere deep funk outfit The
Soul Motivators are back with their sophomore album Do The Damn Thing. The
9-track album delivers a heavy dose of the band’s signature funk sound,
incorporating the soulful sensibilities of lead vocalist Shahi Teruko, who has
been performing and touring with the band for the past two years and makes her
recorded debut here.

“Do the damn thing! is a phrase we used during rehearsals to get us back
on track when we started to overcomplicate things. Is it funky? Is it soulful?
Then just do the damn thing!” This no-nonsense approach has resulted in a
cohesive and focused, straight-up funk record.

From the high-octane ‘Mindblastin’ and ‘All the Way to the
Bank’ to the moody ‘‘Black Rhino’ and the car-chase
MSFBs-inspired ‘Savalas’ which show off the Motivators’
instrumental grooves, Do The Damn Thing is guaranteed to appeal to the most
discerning funk fans.

The band continues to broaden their definition of soul music from a spiritual,
political and social standpoint, as evidenced by the album’s most
poignant and introspective moment, ‘Modern Superwoman’ featuring
lyrics penned by Teruko

Modern Superwoman is an anthem for women, specifically the women who are out
there raising families on their own, working around the clock and living life on
their own terms without excuses.” she says,” There is no force in
the world more powerful than that of a mother and this song is a celebration of
those women.
