NEW RELEASES - THE BALEARIC SOUND OF SADE, JOSE JAMES, BRIAN OWENS

THE BALEARIC SOUND OF SADE

Sunkissed Records continues to turnout the choice Balearic cuts with the third installment of their The Balearic Sound Of series. This time around the focus is on Sade who we all know has a deep catalog of smooth slow burners. As usual Sunkissed comes through with ace picks. I gotta give the label credit for doing their diligence and unearthing some hard to find mixes and b-sides. These are the smooth and deadly tracks that will keep the summer vibes going long after the leaves have all turned brown. Tracks: Hang On To Your Love (U.S. Remix); Super Bient Total (Extended Mix); Turn My Back On You (Extended 12 Inch Mix); and Siempre Hay Esperanza. - Reviewed by Joey Coco 09/2012 / Turntable Lab

BRIAN OWENS - MOODS & MESSAGES

The first we've heard from St, Louis singer Brian Owens – and it's one of the better neo-classic soul records we've stocked in a little while! Brian has and old school reverent approach, but does his thing with fresh, unique perspective. He's a solid singer and songwriter – with a style that'll appeal to anyone with a love for classic soul. Brian's also a veteran, having served in Afghanastan and elsewhere in the Middle East – managing to sing of those experiences in a way that transcends politics and ideology – and doing so in universally soulful way. Impressive stuff! Includes "Soul Anthem (Bring It Back)", "Keep Movin On", "I Just Want To Feel Alright", "Open (Lovely Day)", "Beautiful Love", "Let's Get Out", "Oh I", "Troubled Man", "The Answer (PS: If You Wanna Feel Alright)" and more. ~ Dusty Groove
