Background and Release
Throughout 2013/14, Hines performed around Australia the 'The Café Soul Sessions' tour and the idea for a soul-inspired album was born.[3][4]
Hines decided to record the album concept, stating "I had a moment on stage recently where I stood back and watched them and thought 'Man, this band is hot!' and I wanted to capture in a recording how good they are when they play live." She added; "I hope you support the project because I'd really like to showcase these amazing musicians with songs that have been close to my heart since I was a child."
Hines also wanted to write original tracks for the album, inspired by the soul concept.
"The Soul Sessions" features cover art from celebrated artist Gabrielle Pool – who created the painting, which was sold at the Oasis Africa Charity Auction night to raise funds for the children of Kibera, Africa's largest slum. Deni & Gabrielle flew to Kibera, with Deni teaching the children how to sing, while Gabrielle taught them how to paint.
