Brooke Combe, the face of modern Northern Soul is back, with her sophomore album Too Late For Tears, which lands March 5th on Fontana Records. Alongside the news Brooke also releases new single ‘Passing Faces’ and announces her biggest UK headline tour to date, which includes a show at London’s Kentish Town Forum on March 19th. Listen to ‘Passing Faces’ HERE & watch the video HERE.
Working with longtime collaborator, The Coral’s James Skelly, and recorded at his Kempston Studios in Liverpool, Too Late For Tears is 11 tracks of modern soul. With one foot firmly in the timeless influence of the past and the other very much in the future, Brooke perfectly straddles the sounds of old with a modern edge. Recorded live with her formidable band, when the needle hits the wax, for a precious moment the world seems to stand still. Such is the power of Brooke; the purity of a voice with the power to both heal and cut to the bone. Hers is the soul of British youth; youth of the future and youth of old.
“It’s the spirit of soul, of ska, of Motown, Stax and 2-Tone,” Brooke says of the album. “It’s the soul of radio, old radio — midnight radio — some unknown station you accidentally find between a sea of static; a song that sticks with you for the whole of the next day and the day after; one song that might change the course of your life. Soul for the soul, to stave away the cold.”
Alongside the announcement Brooke has also released the album’s latest cut in new single ‘Passing Faces’. An infectiously upbeat number, ‘Passing Faces’ takes you back to the soul clubs of the 70s. “I wrote this one dead fast in the kitchen,” Brooke says of the track. “Danny was upstairs in the music room editing a demo we’d just worked on for the album, and I was going through what we had, seeing if there was any type of song we were missing. I needed something light-hearted, catchy, upbeat… I started playing my guitar and the chorus sort of wrote itself. I had the whole melody, so I just thought of lyrics to go with it. It really began to take shape when I started trying different organ lines to open the song with. Once we settled on that and the soulful guitars playing off each other were added, it became its own thing. Pure mod.”
Fresh off the back of a packed summer of festivals and currently on the EU run of her support tour with Jalen N’gonda, Brooke has announced her biggest headline tour to date for 2027. Kicking off with a massive hometown show at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow on March 11th, the 13 date run includes a date at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum on March 19th.
