Sinead Harnett [2021] - Ready Is Always Too Late [Thairish Limited] (Full Album)

I keep listening to Sinead Harnett's material hoping to hear something other than R&B i.e. with a bit more soul. Her new album dropped on Friday (21 May 2021) and perhaps the title track 'Ready Is Not Too Late' is the nearest yet, which I believe is also the new single? A couple of other tracks 'Like This' and 'Last Love', and perhaps 'Distraction' may appeal to soulies.

She certainly has a great voice as can be heard on the attached video of a cover of Amy Winehouse's 'Love Is a Losing Game' which was a bedroom recording in 2017 before she broke through.

I wondered where she got a name Sinead from only to discover that her father is Irish and mother Thai (hence the name of her own label Thairish). She was born in North London (Finchley) but now lives in L.A. 

The latest album will be her second, although she released a 'mixtape' in 2017 titled 'Chapter One'. 

What the difference is these days between a mixtape and an album I have no idea, as for me a mixtape is (or should be) just that, a mixed/segued compilation of music by different artists where the tracks are skillfully blended (beat and key matched) into each other by a DJ/producer. A compilation of songs does not constitute a 'mixtape' it's just a compilation and a compilation of songs by the same artist ... a mixtape? .. I don't get it, surely it's an album/EP or a compilation? I suppose it's become 'trendy' like vinyl records being referred to as 'vinyls' ... don't you just hate that?  Whilst I'm having a 'rant', what defines an EP? Back in the day it was a 4 track 7" record, but now I've seen anything up to eight tracks or more called an EP, and conversely, releases with less called albums! Then of course we get releases of up to half a dozen or more mixes of the same song, what are they, singles/EPs? I suppose for digital releases it doesn't really matter as I guess most of us just buy the tracks we want and leave the rest.
