Sorry Drummer [2021] - Sorry Drummer & Friends Vol.3 [Gueropa] (Full Album)

Sorry Drummer​ is Brazilian drummer Luiz Roberto Julião from São Paulo who debuted with "Sorry Drummer & Friends" in 2013. The second volume arrived in 2018 and he has just delivered Vol. 3 on 13 Nov 2021.

There are 21 tracks on the album so I haven't had time to digest it in full but from what I've heard it sounds pretty good. Each track features at least one vocalist/rapper. It's a mixed bag of neo soul, hip-hop and Latin jazz.

The tracks worth highlighting include "Don't Give Up" featuring Tiffany Paige, "All About Love" (Isreal & Madame Mims), "Healing Hands" (LeVar Thomas &  Igor Prado), "Hear My Cry"(Tiffany Paige), "Faith" (Georgie Sweet), "My World" (DJ Patife & Tiffany Paige) and "Never Give Up" (Casey Jones & Deborah Jordan).
