Dutch soul crew The Tibbs return with new vocalist and album Nov 20

Singer Roxanne Hartog – who also contributed lyrics for Another Shot Fired – is an impressive addition for The Tibbs.

Dutch vintage soul combo The Tibbs announces the release of “Damaged Heart” b/w "Ball and Chain", the first single taken from the forthcoming album Another Shot Fired. The new single, showcasing the powerful voice of new singer Roxanne Hartog, will be available via Record Kicks on October 9 on all digital platforms and on a limited edition 45 vinyl – check out a preview clip right here. The release of Another Shot Fired will follow on November 20.

The Tibbs' second studio album, Another Shot Fired was recorded during lockdown at Electric Monkey in Amsterdam under the supervision of producer Paul Willemsen (Lefties Soul Connection, Michelle David & The Gospel Sessions) and it introduces a new singer to the project: the young super-talented Roxanne Hartog, who penned the lyrics of most of the songs.

Based around Amsterdam, The Tibbs took off in 2012 working right from the start with producer Paul Willemsen. In 2016 their first LP, "Takin' Over" marked their debut with Milan based imprint Record Kicks. The singles "Next Time" and "The Story Goes" received critical acclaim on radio stations throughout Europe and North America and the 45s flew out the door in record time. The release of "Takin' Over" delivered the band far richer rewards. Playing sold-out venues in both Milan and Frankfurt. The Tibbs' profile rose further still with wonderful festival performances in Germany and Hungary, followed by a successful sold-out tour of Spain. 

In late 2018, lead vocalist Elsa Bekman decided to follow her heart and focus on a solo career. The Tibbs then began their search for a truly worthy successor, which they found in singer/songwriter Roxanne Hartog who auditioned for The Voice of Holland back in 2016 (see below) without success. Their loss is our gain. Another Shot Fired is available for pre-order right here. Check out the album teaser below followed by Rachel singing Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" from 2017.
