It's alI about strong independent brilliant female artists today.....

Greetings from The Soul Guru....I heard you missed me....well I'm back !
I've been trekking round Brighton,searching for my inner self....I didn't find him but I enjoyed the pier and OhSoSocial.......
 For me any new music from Robyn is a cause for celebration....her collaboration with Royksopp last year on the Monument EP was definitely one of the best things I heard .....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btBSxtKzF6Q
What is it about Robyn I love so much ? She's a brilliant totally unique artist who defies convention and clearly doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks of her.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7975tw0EJA
 She's a genius and her new colaboartion with the late Christian Falk " Dream On " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQtJ8z6q5o is just so fucking great it makes my heart sing.....in a world where most female artist are presented as brainless sex objects - Rita Ora ,Rhianna are great role models aren't they ? ...sleep with Calvin Harris...get your tits out ...BOOM...you're successful but have lost any shred of dignity ...a word they probably can't spell let alone understand .
 The reason I LOVE Robyn is because she never compromises....Hang With Me is one of the greatest records ever made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83vhhEQIRy0

So talking of brilliant unique female artists I am so happy that Jessy Lanza has a new EP on the best label in the world....Hyperdub.....if you don't know who Hyperdub is then get on itunes NOW and buy all their music...Burial,Kode 9 and Spaceape. are just a couple of their amazing artists...but King Midas Sound are my favourite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RYP4WIA5Po....
 Jessy Lanza's new EP "You Never Show Your Love "  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83vhhEQIRy0 is just behind Robyn as my record of the year.....
 Her album last year " Pull My Hair Back " is genius....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkGZr50rXqc.........

Last but by no means least is the totally BRILLIANT Punk Silent Movie Star ....I can't share her music yet but believe me when I say that her music is amazing...her personal story is incredible...it's not for me to share the details but suffice to say that this is one tough lady.....she's just won the biggest battle any of will ever face...she's also a great friend,someone I've known for over 25 years ...I love her and her music so much...she's an inspiration to all of us....

That's all folks....the Soul Guru loves YOU
