The Top 100 New Soul Releases 2021 Q1 Spotify Playlist

On 1 Apr I listed my Top 100 of the year so far but I've decided to create a Spotify playlist to make it easier to listen to and skip through, so here it is. There are actually only 99 as unfortunately Eddie Holman 'Ready, Willing, Able' is not available on Spotify.

NOTE: You must be logged in to Spotify to listen! The list isn't in any particular order.

The Top 10 New Soul Releases 2021 Q1 Spotify Playlist

On 1 Apr I listed my Top 10 of the year so far but I've decided to create a Spotify playlist to make it easier to listen to and skip through, so here it is. I've also added the other 10 that were 'bubbling under'. I will probably also create a playlist of the Top 100, so watch out for that.

NOTE: You must be logged in to Spotify to listen! The list isn't in any particular order.

The Top 10 New Soul Releases 2021 Q1

As it's the end of the first quarter of 2021 It's time to select my top 10 tracks of the year so far. 

Notes: 

- They are in no particular order
- Link on title to YouTube
- I've excluded 'deivative' songs i.e. covers, remixes, reissues or samples
- Figures in square brackets are [Camelot Key / BPM] from TuneBat 

- TuneBat regularly doubles BPM for ballads .. so these have been corrected

The Top 100 New Soul Releases 2021 Q1

As it's the end of the first quarter of 2021 I thought I'd publish a list of the top 100 releases of the year so far.  Essentially it is a consolidation of the weekly 'Dirty Dozen' I feature each Sunday which I started on 7 Feb so there are 96 entries from 8 weeks and I'll select an additional four from this week to make it up to 100. I will whittle it down to my top 10 later.

- Link on title to YouTube
- There may be a few 'hangovers' from 2020 (a couple may have been released earlier)
- There are also several covers / remixes / reissues as I've only recenly started filtering these out
- Figures in square brackets are [Camelot Key / BPM] from TuneBat 

- TuneBat regularly doubles BPM for ballads .. so these have been corrected

1,500th Post

This post will be the 1,500th post since the launch of the blog in 2009, and the 1,410th since its relaunch in March 2020.

It is just over a year since I reactivated the blog and consolidated it with another 'neglected' blog 'Modern Soul'. It was initially started to post vintage rare soul, mainly Northern Soul, Crossover and Modern Soul. At the start of 2021 I decided to focus on new independent soul releases and fill void periods with lesser known and classic vintage soul.

The blog is beginning to build a reputation with several artists leaving comments on posts and sending me material to review and was recently voted in Top 40 Soul Music Blogs, Websites & Influencers in 2021 by Feedspot (currently #32). This week has seen the highest viewing figures with 14,000 visitors. I wish to thank you for visiting the blog and ask you to share it and spread the word. My goal is to make this the 'go to' site to discover new soul releases. I welcome comments, suggestions and recommendations and am happy to promote new releases from artists and labels and to promote relevant radio shows, just drop me a comment or contact me at soulstrutter@gmail.com.

The blog couldn't exist without the YouTube community who post the music as I simply wouldn't have time to create all the videos and post them on YouTube and the blog, so I acknowledge and thank all those whose videos I feature. 

I make best endeavours to post videos for new releases from official sources so that the creators of the music receive streaming royalties, however these are paltry. As an example, I featured Soul Sonic's single on day of release (5 Mar) and to date it has received 87.25m views - at the last rate I can find for YouTube, they pay $0.00069 per view, so out of 87.25m views it generated only $60k (probably doesn't even cover the cost of making the video!). Spotify pays $0.00437 and Amazon $0.00402 so I may start embedding from Spotify in future (where possible) as it pays more than six times the amount to the music creators!

With that in mind, if we hear music we like it is incumbent upon us to support the creators by buying the music. It has never been cheaper at 99p per digital track. If artists don't make money they can't make music and the inevitable consequence will be a landscape of oldies and constant regurgitations, remixes, reworkings of old songs or a small band of mainstream artists and corporate labels feeding us what they think we want and I'm sure none of us want that!

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 8 (Mar 2021 Wk 12)

My selection of the best releases this week (Mar 2021 Wk 12). 

It was a very slow week for new releases until Friday/Saturday when a whole batch got unleashed making it difficult to narrow it down to twelve, when earlier in the week I thought I may struggle to even pick twelve!

In no particular order with [Camelot Key/BPM] where available.

Part 7, Part 6, Part 5, Part 4, Part 3, Part 2, Part 1

Wendisue - Walk Away Love [Self Released]

Technically this shouldn't really be here as it seems to have been very quietly released and tHe end of 2019 but it's not on her last album and I can find no reference to it other than on BandCamp.  It's a brilliant tune so needs more exposure.

UK Soul Chart - 22nd March 2021 - The Breakers

Courtesy of Starpoint Radio (http://uksoulchart.com)

This weeks UK Soul chart Breakers. 

I normally like to have everything already posted, or at least post those that I have missed but there are a few particularly 'dubious' tunes (for a 'soul' chart) in this week's chart which I wouldn't have posted had I already have heard them. So, I'm not going to clutter the blog with inferior tunes so will just provide a link to YouTube for those not up to standard so you can decide for yourself.

01 - CJ's Connection - I.O.U

Poor cover of Freeez's 80s hit. The original wasn't particularly good and this is even worse! Due for release 26 Mar 2021

02 - Papik - Body To Body (The Stylish Remixes)

Lame disco!

03 - Marc Staggers - Yesterday (Rob Hardt Remix) (posted here)

04 - Output/Input Feat. Audrey Wheeler-Downing - Close The Door (posted here)

05 - Raquel Rodriguez - Read The Room(posted here)

06 - Al Lindsey Feat. Laura Rain - Claim It (posted here)

07 - Jermaine Lockhart - Sunday Doo Da

Smooth jazz sax instrumental

08 - Conya Doss Feat. B Golden - Wishful Thinking (posted here)

09 - Danny B Live - Track Meet (posted here)

10 - Tre'V - Dance With Me

A bit too R&B/stepper and derivative for my liking.

11 - Michi - Breaking My Own Rules

Blue-eyed R&B/pop oriented tune.

12 - Rina Chanel - More Than Enough

Already posted here

13 - Sympli Whitney - Dance With Me (posted here)

14 - Beth Macari - Gotta Get Back

Not due sout until 13 Apr 2021 - and can't find even a sample of it - but it's UK blue-eyed soul.

15 - Reel People Feat. Raheem Devaughn - Deja Vu (posted here)

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 7 (Mar 2021 Wk 11)

My selection of the best releases this week (Mar 2021 Wk 11)

 

It was a tough call this week boiling it down to just twelve and a few good tracks had to be left out to keep it to a dozen.

In no particular order with [Camelot Key/BPM] where available.
