2017 release. Rebirth Of Soul is Syleena Johnson's celebration of soul music as she puts her personal spin on both well-known and lesser known classic R&B songs such as "Chain of Fools," "Is It Because I'm Black," "The Makings of You," "I'd Rather Go Blind" and more. Produced by her father, the R&B/blues legend Syl Johnson who gave Syleena her start in the music business, Rebirth Of Soul is a joyous love letter to soul music recorded live in the studio on analog tape with musicians who played on classic R&B hits in Syleena's hometown of Chicago.
