I've really enjoyed 2010 from a musical standpoint .Despite what the naysayers and moaners may have led you to believe there has been some great Muisc For The Soul released this year.
From the amazing Soul sound of Andreya Triani , through the epic sprawling masterpice of Kanye West's " My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy " album ,John Legend & The Roots BRILLIANT " Hard Times " album ,Nicky Minaj's great " Pink Friday " album ,Janelle Monae's incredible " The Arch Android " opus ,Danny Byrd'a Old-Skool Rave/Drum & Bass cracker " Rave Digger "and a plethora of fantastic electronic/dubstep albums from Phealeh, Darkstar,Ikonika ,anything on Hyperdub ( my label of the year ) and many many more there has has been so much to celebrate and enjoy .
I am by nature an optimist not a cynic,I'm a music snob blessed with great taste in and greater passion for music....
MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT ,IT IS ART ,IT HAS MEANING AND VALUE AND HAS HAD A PROFOUND EFFECT ON MY LIFE .........I WILL NEVER TIRE OF GREAT NEW MUSIC OR STOP LOVING THE ARTISTS THAT HAVE MADE ME SO HAPPY
RIP Lady T and Gregory Issacs,two artist I have listened to for years and will continue to listen to as long as I live....thank you both for your incredible voices and music............through your music you will live for ever ,God Bless You both
Now comes the time for me to anoint one track THE First "Soul Guru's Track of The Year " ....a track that is in my opinion the best of the year
This is based on a lot of scientific data ...like how it made me feel when I first head it ,the great memories it brings back of The Big Chill ,and just how damn great it is..............Ladies & Gentlemen the winner is ........................Magnetic Man " I Need Air "..watch the video here
