The Shindellas Release “Last Night Was Good For My Soul”

The official music video for The Shindellas’ irresistible new single, “Last Night Was Good For My Soul,” debuts today. Directed by NitaInNashville and recorded on an iPhone 13 Pro, the video perfectly captures the charismatic appeal of the Nashville-based emerging R&B girl group.

A modern take on the beloved girl group genre, “Last Night Was Good For My Soul” was written and produced by Louis York—the Grammy Award-winning duo of Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony (Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Jazmine Sullivan)—and was released earlier this spring to critical acclaim from Rolling StoneRated R&BSoul Tracks and more. Of the track, You Know I Got Soul praises, “‘Last Night Was Good For My Soul’ is that feel good music we’ve been craving. It has an undeniable groove that will have you nodding your head from the first listen,” and Soul Bounce declares, “their harmonies reach a joyous level as they revel in the night’s events.” 

Known for their energetic live shows, The Shindellas recently performed “SHAME” as a tribute to Evelyn “Champagne” King at the 8th Annual Black Music Honors. The ceremony will air Saturday, June 3, at 8pm ET on The Stellar Network, with national broadcast syndication from June 10 through July 2. It will also air on Bounce TV on June 19. Additionally, they recently performed at the Southern Entertainment Awards in Nashville on May 28. Tomorrow, June 2, they will perform at the 9th Annual Rhapsody & Rhythm Awards Celebration and Gala as a tribute to Missy Elliot before headlining the Promise Land Music and Arts Festival in Charlotte, TN the following day, June 3. See below for the complete itinerary.The Shindellas are already receiving widespread notice with the Nashville Scene asserting, “The trio is a true vocal powerhouse, and they eschew the idea of a lead singer in favor of trading verses and singing in glorious three-part harmony,” while NPR Music praises, “Girl group vocal pop has evolved across many generations, without always getting its due as a legitimate musical tradition…As a sophisticated girl group rising out of the Nashville music-making community, the Shindellas are positioned to defy all these perceptions and more.”

The ShindellasTamara Chauniece, Stacy Johnson and Kasi Jones—tap into R&B and soul to bring forth a sound they call “New American Soul.” The group made history as the first R&B band to perform at the CMT Awards in 2021.
