The Global Soul Chart - 22nd May 2021 - The Essential 5 & The Breakers

This week's 'Essential 5' and 'The Breakers' played by Franklin Sinclair on his Global Soul Chart Show which is aired between 5pm-7pm every Saturday on Global Soul Radio.

He plays the Essential 5 at the start of the show, whilst The Breakers are interspersed between chart entries. 

A podcast of the show is posted each week on Mixcloud. If you want to listen to the whole show then the podcast is posted on the latest 'The Global Soul Chart - 22nd May 2021' post.

The Breakers

Only six breakers played again this week as another interview was included in the show, this time with Michon Young who spends her second week on the top spot. 

Five of last week's six breakers were new entries into the Global Soul chart this week i.e. Estee Pierce, Rati, Melonyx, Latanya Alberto and Iyamah. Estee Pierce was the blog's 'Selection of the Week' last week and Franklin picked up on Melonyx from the blog as it was posted on day of release, although I tipped the other track 'Energy'.

Only two of the breakers have been previously posted, one of which I only found yesterday and 'prompted' Franklin to include as a breaker which he gave the blog a 'shout' for on the show. Thanks Franklin!.

Orgone Feat. Adryon De Leon - Show Me (released 21/05 / posted today)

I've posted a few of Orgone's releases recently, two of which were covers, and this is the best one I've heard from them so far.
