Soul Strutter: Carmichael Musiclover [2021] - Slow Motion [One Mic Music]

Consistent, Atlanta based, indie artist Carmichael Musiclover releases his new album "Slow Motion" on Wednesday (25 Aug 2021). It is currently available on his website ($15), where I suspect it will remain for some time before being more widely available as that is his usual process.

UPDATE: Album now available on DSP's and full album posted here.

I'm not able to provide any sound files but you can listen to samples of each of the seventeen tracks on his website. There is a mix of ballads and more up-tempo numbers. "Know You Better", "Body To Body" and "Live Like We Dance" are up-tempo winners and there are plenty of mellow and soulful tunes including "Time For The Sunshine", "My Last Breath" and "Happy". The album seems to be quite gospel influenced this time with tracks such as "God's Greatest Creation", "Rebuild", "Hand In Mine". This new album is another surefire winner.

He appeared at London's Jazz Cafe on Wednesday (18 Aug 2021) (sporting a 60s look) and has posted a video of his performance of "Pure Sweetness" from his superb album "The Best Thing Yet" released last year (my album of the year), so in lieu of his latest album being available I'll post the video and re-post the full album.

Whilst "The Best Thing Yet" would be hard to better, from the 30 second samples available, I think this must come close, or even better. Highly recommended and, whilst ordering the latest album, why not treat your self to some of his others, you won't be disappointed.

I also found a video of him performing "Count The Stars" from "Happy Place" (his 2018 album before TBTY) in 2019 on Chicago's abc7 prior to a live gig in Chicago that evening.
