Here Come The Tears

Here Come The Tears

A deeply moving collection of classic soul ballads and mid-tempo heartbreak cuts, Here Come The Tears gathers together some of the most emotionally resonant recordings of the golden era. Issued in the spirit of preservation and rediscovery by Soul4Real Records, this release focuses on the raw, unguarded side of soul music - where vocal performance, lyrical honesty, and emotional delivery take centre stage.

Across the album, legendary voices such as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, The Isley Brothers, and Dee Dee Warwick deliver performances steeped in longing, heartbreak, and resilience. Each track feels like a confession - intimate, urgent, and unmistakably human.

From the aching intensity of Bettye Swann and Barbara Lynn to the timeless fire of Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, this collection moves through every shade of romantic loss and emotional endurance. It’s soul music at its most direct: no distance, no filter - just feeling.

Carefully sequenced, Here Come The Tears unfolds like a narrative of love tested and lost, where even the quieter moments carry heavy emotional weight. The result is a compilation that doesn’t just showcase songs, but preserves atmosphere, memory, and mood.
