My selection of the best releases this week (Dec 2021 Wk 48)
In no particular order other than tempo.
It's the time of year when you would think that new material starts to dwindle, however, if you checked out "The Bleeding Edge" playlist posted on Friday I still managed to select 73 'reasonable' tracks from the hundreds that were released (if you think some of these aren't 'up to scratch' then you should listen to many of the others omitted! Having said that though there are very few, if any, releases from what you would call established artists and I think this week's dozen highlights that, as most are from names previously unknown.
It's quite a mixed bag but choosing this week's Soul Strutter Selection of the Week was a no brainer for me, even though it is a real early 70s throwback tune, my selection is Bobby Harden & The Soulful Saints with "Feels So Good" showing that all new music doesn't have to be the same, old same old whiny auto-tuned nonsense! A late-comer to the pack worthy of mention is "Never Settle For Less" from an album only posted earlier today from Hareston Clay which is another retro sounding tune has been around for almost three weeks and seems to have gone under the radar.
As always the playlist is in no particular order of merit simply ordered by tempo starting off with the slowies and building in tempo.
