Soulful Sevens of 2021 - Lookback pts 1 & 2

[Scotters]

Looking back at a couple dozen 45 releases from 2021, pt 1 the more uptempo sides, pt 2 more mid-tempo. Some have been included in previous mixes alongside other Soulful Sevens from the last several years, now also some choice recent winter releases. New sounds heavily influenced by older soul sounds. Here's hoping for a better 2022 and for more great new releases. Cheers.
