Her fourth album is being released digitally first then on CD later in December and on her own label Little Poppet (instead of the usual Tru Thoughts). I have yet to hear the full album (hint hint) but have managed to hear four tracks on the blogosphere. Her cover of Crazy is even better than the live acoustic version leaked last year but I have an exclusive track called "Got the Hunger". Ms Russell's voice just seems to get better and better with every release and it will only be a short amount of time before she gets the recognition she fully deserves. Check it out!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dmzzd1znw5g">http://www.mediafire.com/?dmzzd1znw5g</a>MissThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11254373898494220625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36803384.post-11243858623361410782008-03-12T17:01:00.006+00:002008-12-10T15:13:55.756+00:00Return!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJ7ANgV_UOORLb1wvNqJ46pa31ybQ4oiQHzEjyZ6ZfVhU9BTa7SkbBezeolmjcYFEhcesQWSSyWRLhj3YqKOD3ulI5A9SSBpboWrW-pFgHPJL9QWWQ6KMckq8si8fNHtTLtgxpQ/s1600-h/shimmy+cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAJ7ANgV_UOORLb1wvNqJ46pa31ybQ4oiQHzEjyZ6ZfVhU9BTa7SkbBezeolmjcYFEhcesQWSSyWRLhj3YqKOD3ulI5A9SSBpboWrW-pFgHPJL9QWWQ6KMckq8si8fNHtTLtgxpQ/s320/shimmy+cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176938117340470370" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Well i've finally returned - and i really should try and improve my post rate!

But since i'm flying to Spain at 7:30 this morning I thought i'd bring some musical cheer and goodwill to all! (Alright, Spain isn't boiling but least it's a tad warmer than Coventry as you can see in the three-day old photo heehee!)<br /><br />I have just finished another soulful mix, one to get you moving and keep you warm... also shed those calories after all that lovely xmas food! I won't be posting it until tomorrow so this is a bit of a teaser! Props to Mike over at thisistomorrow who posted my first mix thanks!, and cheers for all the response.<br />Catch ya tomorrow for the tinsel wrapped pressie of a mix...<br /><br />Well...<br /><br />MissT xx<br /><br /><a href="http://thisistomorrow.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></a>MissThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11254373898494220625noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36803384.post-64937320992409122852007-11-14T23:56:00.000+00:002008-12-10T15:13:56.421+00:00A delicious morsel of Cold Blood..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3zYkaZojdj4/RzuO0M5GekI/AAAAAAAAAAw/wX15cgNn9rA/s1600-h/455547.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3zYkaZojdj4/RzuO0M5GekI/AAAAAAAAAAw/wX15cgNn9rA/s400/455547.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5132853227783879234" border="0" /></a><br />Before you start thinking, she's a bloodsucking nutter - I am obviously talking about the soul-funk-rock group Cold Blood. In particular the album, <span style="font-style: italic;">First Taste of Sin (1972) </span>produced by no other than Donny Hathaway and from the first track to the last it has Donny stamped allllll over it. One track i've singled out as a particular fav is 'You Had To Know'. A fantastic soul ballad that after one listen you instantly recognise it as Hathaway's production: from the surging piano, rising strings and powerhouse vocal; do I go as far to suggest the sister track to 'I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know', oh yea I do.<br /><br />Here the track in its full glory, take a listen and bask in the soul of Cold Feet, and credit must go to lead singer Lydia Pense - sing it girl!<br /><br /><a href="http://files-upload.com/files/619660/04%20You%20Had%20to%20Know.mp3">Cold Feet - You Had To Know</a><br /><br />Check back as i'll be posting some more of my fav tracks and a very special album post - an LP that I have never seen on any soul blog.

Their first single was a limited edition 7" vinyl record, which features two tracks:<br /><br />A Test<br />B 4Ever<br /><br />Both tracks definitely have that nordic jazz feel to them, slightly more electronic than straightforward broken beat. 'Test' is a fine little cut, which grows on you the more you listen to it with a wonderful back drop which just resonates in your head.. Oh i forgot to mention the singer in the group, a little known (ahum) Yukmimi Nagano. If you're thinking you know that name, well she IS the singer in Koop, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Sleepwalker and numerous other singles. Her vocals match perfectly with the beats, as shown in the B-side 4ever.<br /><br />This is the only single the group have released, but is a wonderful little introduction. Really mellow, soothing, perfect for those late night chill sessions.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/yourlittledragon" target="_blank" title="Little Dragon Myspace">Little Dragon Myspace</a></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36803384.post-64795360775290565782007-05-11T18:10:00.001+01:002008-12-10T15:13:57.551+00:00Bah Samba - Bah Samba<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3zYkaZojdj4/RkSppEWe93I/AAAAAAAAAAM/EYT6dTu37O4/s1600-h/bah.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3zYkaZojdj4/RkSppEWe93I/AAAAAAAAAAM/EYT6dTu37O4/s400/bah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5063358404079056754" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br />The first album which I shall showcase is a self-titled debut by a group called Bah Samba. Bah Samba were formed in 1995 by Julian Bendall, with other key members being Alice Russell (vocalist), Mark Ralph (guitar) and Timmy Walker (bass). However, this is NOT a small group! Both on recorded albums and live gigs, they have a group consisting of brass section, flutes, percussion (congas!), drums, acoustic guitar, strings... you name it they've played it.<br /><br />Their debut album Bah Samba was released 2002 on the Estero record label, and is one of the best debut and all time albums I have ever heard. It is one of those albums you keep going back to, it never ages and it certainly has a feel good vibe. The album mixes the genres of samba, latin, jazz, folk, soul and beautifully executed by all the group members. This album is superb for the summer, and if it is not on your BBQ playlist, why not?!<br /><br />I have had the pleasure of seeing this group perform live twice now, and if you get the chance take it. Again, absoluely fantastic live. The group enjoy themselves, and the individual players encourage eachother and it is a tightly formed musical unit. But, I have not even mentioned the gorgeous, sun-drenched vocals of the UK's number 1 soul, nu-jazz, broken beat vocalist Ms. Alice Russell. I feel her vocals on this album cut is, quite frankly the best i've heard from her, and live she knocks yr wooly socks off.<br /><br />Give this record a spin, I know you will fall in love with it instantly - and if you do I have some more Samba goodies coming up!<br /><br />Also take a visit to their homepage as well:<br />http://www.bahsamba.co.uk/news.htm<br />http://www.myspace.com/bahsambamusic<br /><pre><download><http: com="" 3ywwzkwty1t=""><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?3ywwzkwty1t"><http: com="" 3ywwzkwty1t=""></http:></a></http:><br /></download></pre> </div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36803384.post-70502322729916593332007-05-11T18:01:00.000+01:002007-05-11T18:08:13.374+01:00My first ever post!<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Welcome to my blog of the arts!
