SOULSTONE – “The Libra Sons”
In an era where R&B and Neo-Soul bands are breaking up to pursue solo career’s, I’m excited to have come across a group of guys who are still following the path paved by the likes of the Temptations, and Boyz II Men. SoulStone, a musical trio consisting of Shaun, Clint, and Lindo, are a living “musical” proof that there are still talented bands in the industry. I recall how when I first discovered these crooners , how blown away I was with their work. They are effortlessly able to deliver as one union. It’s no wonder why their single” Now That Your Love Has Gone” has become a hit. I had the opportunity to learn more about these crooners’ journey, one that I’m excited to share with you all.
