Truth & Soul Album Out Now

Stan Walker’s new album Truth & Soul is out now!

Truth & Soul is Stan’s reinterpretation of some of the biggest soul songs ever written – songs that have inspired him throughout his career and made him the artist we see today. It’s a roll call of soul giants: Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Maxwell, and Lionel Richie.

Throughout the album, Stan’s vocal ability is impressively on display and you can hear a deep respect for each song with effortless falsetto and unveiled emotion.

Truth & Soul is available on iTunes and Google Play, as well as at JB Hi-Fi and Sanity.

Stan Cast In ‘Born To Dance’ Film

Stan Walker has been announced as the first lead casting of the multi-million dollar international hip-hop film ‘Born To Dance’ set to shoot in New Zealand this October.

Stan is no stranger to international screens, having played the title role 
in the 2013 hit feature ‘Mt Zion’ and was a judge on the hi TV show X Factor (New Zealand)

Stan is thrilled to have the opportunity to play the role of ‘Benjy’, one of the protagonist Tu’s close-knit group of friends from Papakura, in the film.

“I am very excited to be a part of the very first major dance film to come out of NZ” said Stan. “NZ is one of the biggest hip-hop dance nations and it will be awesome to get our story and our dancers showcased to an international audience." 

‘Born to Dance’ is a coming of age tale told through the eyes of ‘Tu’, an ambitious young man from Auckland, who dreams of being a professional hip-hop dancer. It will be choreographed by NZ’s own international dance superstar Parris Goebel, while Tammy Davis will direct, following from his award winning short films ‘Ebony Society’ and ‘My Older Brother.’

Casting is still under-way for the supporting cast and other leads are due to be announced in the coming months. An international Hollywood starlet is tipped to play the lead female role.

From today, up and coming dancers are able to enter online to win a walk-on part in the film via NZ radio stations Flava and ZM. To be into win, dancers are encouraged to head to the Flava website or ZM website and upload a video of their best dance routine.

To find out more about ‘Born To Dance’, check out the film’s official Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Stan Walker’s World Tour of New Zealand may well be the longest anyone has attempted in recent New Zealand Music history, and there are some compelling reasons as to why Stan is just the man to do it.

Mt Zion debuted at #1 at the NZ box office, quickly taking over $1 million, and securing a successful Australian release. Mt Zion also won the NZ Box Office Achievement Award for Highest Grossing New Zealand Film for 2013 and the Flicks People’s Choice Award for Movie of the Year. Take It Easy, Stan’s single from the film, also held a number one New Zealand chart position and gained platinum sales.

Stan has also recently released The Complete Collection – a limited edition package combining all three of his albums with a bonus Take It Easy single – and will release a new track Bulletproof on May 31.
