Good evening friends and welcome to this weeks's blog which features some of the best albums of 2014 so far…it was going to me my " Top 10 " but that concept is as old as I am.
Before I proceed it's important to say that this blog " Music For The Soul " is NOT exclusively about SOUL music,tho that is a passion….but about music that moves my SOUL .
Music reflects my mood…when I'm feeling low I don't listen to " happy " music,I listen to music that complements my feelings,that I empathise with and consequently feel soothed and healed….
I don't think my opinion is more valid than anyone else's or in any way definitive..I just enjoy sharing my passion for good music and if anyone hears something that I recommend and enjoy it then this blog has served it's purpose.
Similarly I love it when someone recommends something I've never heard that I really like…so feel free to recommend new artists to me…..
Ok here are 10 of my favourite albums of the year so far in no particular order …due to copyright issues I can't post music on this site…but it's up to you my droogies to go seek 'em out ,they're on Youtube,Spotify etc….I won't do all the work for you !
All these albums have moved my Soul in various ways at various times :
Hundred Waters : The Moon Rang Like A Bell " …indie/electronic/art-rock outta Florida….I find very beautiful,original and compelling
Beck : " Morning Phase "…complete GENIUS from start to finish
First Aid Kit :" The Lion's Roar " Sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg from Stockholm…..great songs,incredible songs..lie a modern day Mammas and Pappas…without the Pappas ;-)
Hercules & Love Affair : " The Feast Of The Broken Heart "…glorious, uplifting DANCE music ..great songs…John Grant is incredible on his 2 tracks…the soundtrack to summer in SW 6
HTRK :" Psychic 9-5 Club "…this is deep and pretty dark modern electronic music….I think it's a marvellous body of work
Lana Del Ray : " Ultraviolence "…..the femme fatale's femme fatale….she gets a lot of criticism but I think this a brilliant album…great songs ( albeit predictable subject matter ) and BRILLIANT production and arrangements
Tensnake : " Glow "…probably my favourite dance album of the year
Rokysopp & Robyn : " Do It Again "……INCREDIBLE,AMAZING,BRILLIANT,AWESOME
Gregory Porter ; " Liquid Spirit " ( Deluxe Version ) ….the mos-played album in SW6 on aSunday morning
Album 10 : I'd like to hear what YOU think….
I hope that some of you find something new hear to enjoy….
It's been a pleasure
Thank you ALL for the recent " likes "….I'm aiming for 200 soon….any help gratefully received
The Soul Guru Loves YOU
