As a child, she adopted her father's love of traditional Zambian music along with such American R and B/soul icons as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. As a graduate of London's Westminster University, Hilary had early ambitions to go into the science field and earned a degree in biological sciences. She shares, While I was in school studying sciences, I started to explore my musical interests and I decided that I wanted to pursue music more seriously. I took a year off from school and during this time I recorded my first demo. I have never had formal music training but I was brought up on a diet of soul, R and B, Gospel and pop music from an early age. Luckily for us Hilary Mwelwa's path has led her to follow her heart and her music. She concludes, I could have pursued a nice comfortable career path but music is where my heart is. I do believe that everything you do in life leads you to your ultimate destiny. My personal motto is live life to the fullest and to spend your time doing what you love. You have to enjoy each day as if it were your last.

Im a fan of good music. The kind that hits you in the heart, mind and soul! says Hilary Mwelwa, the next British R and B phenomenon destined to win over American R and B and soul devotees. USA Today declares, Mwelwa's vocals are always enticing while Vibe Magazine heralds Mwelwa's rich, velvety voice warms the inside like a spot of tea. The 20-something year-old chanteuse along with her musical partner Victor Redwood-Sawyerr (co-founder of the award-winning hip hop group Blak Twang), make up Hil St. Soul, one of the hottest groups to emerge from London's underground music scene in recent years. Hil St. Soul has toured with such individual artists as Macy Gray, Angie Stone and D'Angelo.

Time For Love
Hil St. Soul Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driftin' on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be
Then with you yeah
Loving you well-well-well
Day will make a way for night
All we'll need is candle lights
And a song yeah
Soft and long

well-well-well

Glad to be here alone
With a lover unlike no other
Sad to see a new horizon
Slowly comin' into view yeah

I wanna be living for the love of you
Ah yes I am
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Alright now

Ooo! lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the mornin' comes
Feels good to me yeah
My love and me well

Smoother than a gentle breeze
Flowin' through my mind with ease
Soft as can be well
When you're lovin' me
When you're lovin' me
Ooo!

Love to be right in the waves
Of your love enchanted with a touch
It seems to me
We could sail together
In and out of mystery

Well
I wanna be living
For the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving
Is for the love of you
You got me girl
I wanna be living
For the love of you
Alright now
All that I'm giving-giving
Is for the love of you
Oh yes I am

Paradise I have within
Can't feel insecure again
You're the key
Well and this I see
Oh I see
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try to say
What I feel oh, yeah
Love is real
Oh love is real
I might as well sign my name
On a card which could say it better
Time will tell cause it seems
That I've done just about all that I can do
I know that I'm livin'
For the love of you
Oh yes I am
Everyday I'm living
For the love of you
Alright now
I wanna be living
For the love of you
Alright now

I'm living for the love of you
Each and everyday
living for the love of you of you of you

I know that I'm living
