It's Thursday morning ,7.30 am and I've run out of coffee..........nightmare as I always have a pot of coffee first thing but today I'm completely de-caffeineated and I think I'm starting to go cold-turkey
However I know that a lot of you rely on this blog to give your life meaning and purpose so I'm making this sacrifice of going coffee-less for YOU
I enjoy writing this a lot and I hope you are enjoying the music I'm recommending . Even if one reader is moved to check out the music ( Hi Dawid in Poland ! ) then it's worth it.
Today's featured artist is a Soul singer in the truest sense of the word - a classic ,70's style female who reminds me of Chaka Khan ,Millie Jackson etc
Her name is Leela James and she has released two superb albums - one called " Let's Do It Again " is an album of covers such as " Clean Up Woman " ," It's A Man's Man's World " and " Let's Do It Again " ,all given a new interpretation but sung as if her life depends on it .
Her other album is an album of original material called " My Soul " and features all original material including 4 self-written songs ...........the album sleeve is great as she looks amazing in an authentic 70's Superfly outfit with the biggest hair I've seen for years ,she looks and sounds fabulous and if Soul is your thing then this lady has masses of it .
Listen to " Clean Up Woman " to hear what I mean
By the way yesterdays crass typing error meant that the album I recommended was called" 5 Years of Hyperdub " NOT " % Years of Hyperdub " ...............another brilliant album
Have a good day , try to do something good for yourself - take 5 minutes to think of all things you have in life to be grateful for ,its amazing what we have
Until tomorrow X
Coffee-lessness is not so bad for a longer run. You can get used to it after a couple of days;) Clean Up Woman checked. I hope all the followers spare a few minutes every day to listen to at least one recommended song. I do and I never feel let down. A brilliant pause in the rushing day...
