Breakout modern soul outfit Thee Sacred Souls return with “Any Old Fool”, a previously unreleased track from the recording sessions of their acclaimed 2024 album, ‘Got a Story to Tell’
Originally recorded during the ‘Got a Story to Tell’ sessions, “Any Old Fool” showcases the band’s signature blend of timeless soul and contemporary groove. Funk-driven guitars, a raw bassline, and hard-hitting drums lay the foundation for frontman Josh Lane‘s smooth, effortless vocal delivery, bringing both swagger and sincerity to the track.
Released in October 2024, ‘Got a Story to Tell’ was written by Alejandro Garcia, Salvador Samano, and Josh Lane—the band’s founding members and true stewards of sweet soul—and recorded at Penrose Recorders with producer Gabriel Roth at the helm. Featuring 12 original tracks, the album further cemented the group’s status as modern torchbearers of the genre. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian legend Arthur Verocai, the Delfonics, Jamaican rocksteady, and Motown siren Mary Wells, the record reflects the group’s journey through relentless touring, newfound visibility, and the trials that come with rapid success.
The band are set to make their Asia debut next month as part of their ‘Live For You’ 2026 tour, with stops including Singapore’s The Capitol Theatre on May 26th and Jakarta’s Java Jazz Festival on May 29th, alongside additional dates across Japan, South Korea, and China. The run precedes their expansive US amphitheatre outing, ‘The Constellation Tour’.
Known for their modern take on 1960s soul—defined by lush harmonies, raw emotion, and groove-forward R&B—Thee Sacred Souls have quickly become one of the genre’s most exciting acts. The band currently boasts over 8.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with viral standouts “Can I Call You Rose?” (352M+ streams) and “Will I See You Again?” (291M+ streams) gaining widespread traction on TikTok and generating over 500K user-created videos globally. Their rise has earned them high-profile fans including Beyoncé—who gave the group a co-sign in her GQ cover story—as well as SZA, Kylie Jenner, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Leon Bridges, and more. The group have also made waves on the global festival circuit, with appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury, and joined Kali Uchis on her ‘Sincerely,’ tour last year. Their rising profile is further marked by appearances on the outdoor stage of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a COLORS session, NPR’s Tiny Desk, CBS Saturday, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
With “Any Old Fool”, Thee Sacred Souls continue their global rise, offering fans a glimpse into the depth and warmth of their ever-expanding sound.
