Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967)

 


There are no words that I can write that haven't already been written. What I will say is as a child I stopped whenever I heard her voice on the radio. The power behind it just demands your entire attention, it gets into your bones and makes you move. The band of course is super tight as to be expected, as are the back-up singers, which will undoubtedly include you moments into the 1st track. It's hard to believe that this was already her 10th release, because the power on this record definitely felt like a debut statement. But that's what happens with a voice like hers. So grab this and someone close and get into it.

Leon Bridges - Coming Home (2015)


It's been a hell of a year. We're staying in and doing new years right with Leon's first record. This is a solid set of smooth R&B and Soul over which Bridges croons like a natural. There's a few danceable numbers, some love songs, and an album ender to remember. This is easily one of our most listened to albums of this year. Put this on, have some drinks and look ahead.
