For those not in the know, after four decades out of the music limelight, singer-songwriter-guitarist James Holvay returned last year with his debut solo recording Sweet Soul Song EP and is now once again bringing us his authentic Chicago-style soul music this year with his brand new This Girl EP on his Mob Town Records imprint.

The collection is a vibrant tip of the hat to the music Holvay witnessed and then played in during its 1960s when it ruled the R&B roost in America.

1. Hot N’ Heavy Love
2. This Girl
3. More Of You
4. Whatever She Wants
5. She’s Gone Away

This at all times pleasing musical flashback extravaganza opens on the oh-so sweet soul sounds of string melodies and guitar rhythms within Hot N’ Heavy Love and then bleeds seamlessly into the drum-led, finger-snapping rhythm and blues of the title track This Girl, before bringing us the low slung, airy Motown-eseque balladry of More Of You.

With the entire EP lovingly embracing the glory days of Windy City soul, an era that Holvay was able to experience first-hand as an aspiring adolescent guitarist and songwriter, we then find him dip into the soulfulness of the polished songwriting and candidly smooth vocal delivery of Whatever She Wants, the new EP coming to an all too soon close on the wistful yearn of the ballad She’s Gone Away.

Every aspect of This Girl was designed for maximum authenticity and crafted with care and played and sung with punch, James Holvay’s sophomore recording in his own name is sure to delight the most ardent soul music fans.
