Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings – Just Dropped In To See What Condition Was In | Album of The day 10th February 2021
Throughout their career, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings remained in high demand both publicly and privately to recreate and often re-imagine songs by other artists. More often than not, these covers were recorded by request – commissioned for placement in movies, television programs, tribute albums, or for samples. This album compiles some of their most popular as well as never-before-heard renditions. Though the band has mostly built their career on a prolific catalog of originals, these forays into other artists’ compositions lay bare their gift for arrangement and the unmatched studio prowess that earned them their reputation as The Baddest...

UK soulstress Natasha Watts has delivered a superb, limited edition CD of live cuts recorded in Japan with the exceptional Hundred Birds Orchestra. The fourteen cuts here are pulled from her three studio albums and sound incredible: both vocally and musically the tracks shine. Check out the effervescent ‘Good Love’, the sparkling ‘I Do, I Did, I’m Done’, the superbly open, jazzy ‘Reach Up’, the pulsating ‘Fly Away’, the energy driven ‘Everything’ and the epic ‘Out of My Mind/All of That’.

SouLutions – Anthology | Album of the day 4th February 2021
This 15 track collection brings together works from the North East outfit SouLutions’ back catalogue but in re-edited or rerecorded form and highlights the journey that main man Steve Lee has taken in production and arranging over that time. The results are fresh, bright new versions of some of the band’s best loved works, full of bubbling percussion, trickling keys and driving basslines, as well as lead vocalist Louise’s strong, assured vocals. ‘Philly/Montana Line’ and ‘Clayton Street Symphony’ are straight out of the late 70s heydays of disco, the infectious ‘Love Of A Good Man’ and ‘Listen (original demo)’ again...
