My selection of the best releases this week (Dec 2021 Wk 50)
In no particular order other than tempo.
It's been quite hard work finding good tunes in the run up to
Christmas but those who have 'abandoned ship' are missing out on some
gems as I hope this playlist will show as there are still some good
tunes being released, albeit you have to dig a bit deeper than
usual!
Although a lot fewer than normal to choose from, it was still tricky trying to limit
it to just the dozen. I think, perhaps, from now on I'll make it
fifteen so it will be closer to an hour.
A few releases stood out, the new album/EP from
Jaszy Shavers "Red Light" and an album posted today, released on Friday by, a new artist to
me, TJ. Taotua from New Zealand "Overdue" which has two or three good tracks but the tune which has
stuck with me is Sanura "Hey Baby". Also the debut EP from Las Vegas artist Londxxn (Lon'Don Childs) "That One Time During Quarantine" is pretty solid throughout.
There was also the 'belated' wider
release of The Baylor Project album "Generations" (originally self-released in July) and, what I would guess is an older recording, from Andrea Moore
"CJack Run Presents" which should appeal to those who like the jazzier side of soul.
So
all in all it was difficult to narrow down this week's SoulStrutter selection
but on balance I think it should go to
Jaszy Shavers who's last few singles have been well
received and this release contains four good tracks.
As always the playlist is in no particular order of merit simply
ordered by tempo starting off with the slowies and building in
tempo.
