Modern Madness

[Russ Vickers]

As I'm out in the Baghdad sand Pit I havnt been keeping abreast of any new releases for months now & wondered if any of you Modern collectors/DJ's could bring me & others up to date with any relevent releases of note both on 12" & CD.

Many thanks guys

I´m a bit surprised that noone has replied yet. Don´t think it´s because there is a lack of good releases to bring up, probably the contrary, that there are too many to mention...lol...

In modern soul circles the following are some of the most talked about releases during the last few months, full albums (CD or download) from the likes of:

Eric Benet, El DeBarge, Frank McComb, Jazmine Sullivan, R. Kelly, Deodato, Ronald Isley, John Stoddart, Al Olive, Freddie Jackson, Cee-Lo Green, JD73, Soul Talk, Faith Evans, Tom Glide & The Luv Allstars, Helen Brunner & Terry Jones (Linda Jones´ daughter), Rena Scott, Kem, Calvin Richarson, Will Downing, VA- Daxwood Soul II...

Hope this helps.

Best,

Melismo

IMO it's been an excellent year fo rnew soul music, especially on the album front;

Anyone recommend any Modern Podcasts? I down load the one Roger Williams does for Solar via iTunes (plenty of new independent soul there Russ), anymore?

Chalky,

Mick O'Donnell does podcasts for his Soul Discovery shows, if you have'nt listened to any they are well worth a go.
