Steve Aggasild [2022-06-09] - SoulAndJazzFlavas [Soul Groove Radio]

This week's Soul & Jazz Flavas show from 'The Soul Master' Steve Aggasild on Soul Groove Radio 9th Jun 2022.

Steve does two shows on Soul Groove Radio: Mon 18:00-20:00 (BST) and Thu 14:00-16:00 (BST). In the first hour he delves into his music library for oldies ending with three slow jams and the second hour is dedicated to new releases.

Unfortunately owing to a technical glitch there was no podcast available for Steve's Monday night show but he's provided one for the show from this afternoon. I managed to catch most of it and have to say what a tune Jamar Jones is so, if you haven't heard it before, then be sure to check it out. The great thing I find about Steve's shows is that he sticks with good tunes to give them a chance of making an impact rather than just playing a tune once and then dropping it.

Chris Kingdon & Louise Mehan [2022] - Take Our Love To The Top [Self Released]

Chris Kingdon collaborates with SouLutions vocalist Louise Mehan on a superb new single "Take It To The Top" which is to be released next Friday (17 Jun 2020) from SouLutions website and I also understand that it will be available on Bandcamp.

Chris Kingdon recorded a backing track which he sent to SouLutions' Louise and Steve Lee to work with. Steve already had the lyrics to a song which, as luck would have it, suited the backing track, he worked on adding to the musicality and production of the track incorporating Louise's wonderful vocals. Kingdon's initial aim was to produce a modern track that was full of soul, but with a twist of retro, that pumped out a Philly groove.

Louise has just completed her outstanding performance supporting Shalamar at the London Palladium on Thursday (2 Jun 2022) and has to be one of the best female blue-eyed soul vocalists in the UK right now.

Chris and Louise have collaborated previously on "My Song" last year which is also available from SouLutions website.
