In no particular order other than tempo.
I'm still catching up on the weekly selections (having taken some time off) so here's last weeks (i.e.
week 15 w/e/ 17 Apr 2022). Hopefully I'll have this week's (wk 16)
posted later and be right up to date.
There wasn't a lot of great stuff around
for week 15 so I haven't split them as with previous week's so there won't be a separate Neo
playlist. There's a mix of everything i.e. neo, traditional, covers
and retro in this playlist.
From a Neo soul perspective my pick would be AmarisJ "Seraphic Pasion" which seems to have gone by unnoticed, so highlighting it here
might change that.
A real grower is the first single for a while from
Meli'sa Morgan which will probably do well as it is
being promoted by Gary Van Den Bussche so will have been serviced to
hundreds of DJs and will no doubt feature in the UK Soul Chart in due
course, and rightly so.
Therefore, a song posted from promo on 1st
Apr, released on 15 Apr on Blair Bryant's "Red Dragon" album, which is a cover of Sade's "Kiss Of Life" featuring Beth Griffith-Manley, is this week's choice for SoulStrutter Selection of the Week as I think it may need a bit more of a push with it being buried on an
album.
I've just realised that an omission from the playlist was at least one track from the Samuel Archer album "Soul Music Vineyard". However, whether this can be classified as a new release or not is debateable as it was released on Bandcamp on 1 Oct 2021 and posted on the blog on 1 Nov 2021. So is this really a reissue or a first wider issue? It is certainly getting plenty of love and is a new entry on the UK Soul Chart this week (25 Apr) at #13, so must be getting a lot of exposure after only a week from (re)release on 15 Apr.
