Phillip Leo [2021] - The Best of Phillip Leo [Big Lion] (Full Album)

London reggae/soul singer, writer and producer Phillip Leo (Philip Ernest Pottinger) released his debut single in 1988 followed by a debut album in 1990. To date he has released seven albums and has just released a compilation 'The Best Of Phillip Leo'. Whilst most of the compilation is reggae and lovers rock, the last four tracks are soul tunes.  

I first became aware of him with his 1994 release of a cover of Skipworth & Turner's 'Thinking About Your Love', which surprisingly isn't on the album, but I suspect that the songs included are only his own compositions under his writing name P. Pottinger.

The real standout track for me is 'Don't Judge Me (Mellow Mix)' which is a superb neo/modern soul tune originally released as single in 2018 with four differnt mixes. It featured on Expansion's 2019 edition of their Luxury Soul compilation series.  I've selected the 'choice cuts' from the compilation below which includes a few lovers rock tunes. Also check out 'Feel So Good' a superb soulful lovers rock two-stepper from his 2018 album 'Faithfully'. He also did a 'Soul Mix' of it on 'Mellow Soul Moods (The Soul Remixes)' in 2017.
