Singer Ted Winn was raised in Memphis but now calls Atlanta home. However, Winn is quickly being adopted by British soul fans who have fallen in love with the title song from his solo CD debut Balance (Shanachie/TeddysJamz).
The song recently shot to #1 on London’s Starpoint Radio R&B chart where it came in ahead of the latest offerings from established urban artists such as N’Dambi, Najee, Bebe & Cece Winans, Teodross Avery featuring Leela James and J Blackfoot.
The song received steady DJ spins at the recent Prestatyn Soul Weekender in Northern Wales. The mellow upbeat is generating buzz on both the UK British soul circuit and its sister Northern Soul scene. The latter community of listeners usually fancies obscure, up-tempo, soul songs from the 1960s such as Gloria Jones’ “Tainted Love.”
Winn learned of the song’s growing popularity when a British fan sent him an email. “Receiving a message that Balance is being embraced by soul music lovers in London is amazing,” he says. “I wanted to have something on the CD for everybody but that honestly shocked me.
“I can’t wait to travel to London and perform there,” says Winn. “I’ve heard that the fans there bring a unique energy to concerts and I’d love to experience that.”
