SoulNRnB's Street Sounds Sessions 129

Welcome to our brand new Upfront mix here at the Soul Mixtape. Especially Soulful edition this one, one to chill out to in this summer heat. Try swapping it for the depressing news at the moment, might do you the world of good.

New music from the soon to be massive Cover group KING with "Mister Chameleon"; The best thing the UK's own Marsha Ambrosius has recorded in a while from her new LP, a tune called "You & I"; Usher re-unites with Pharrell after his long sting in Euro House and Generic RnB with "She came to give it to you"; or how about the best Erykah Badu Remix you've ever heard?

Independents strongly feature again with the likes of The Dangerfeel Newbies, Travis Lee and 2nd Nature being some of my faves.

Anyhow, press play below, subscribe to my Mixcloud account so you can stream on your mobile wherever you are, and hold tight for Grizz who returns this weekend. Im back next week stepping into his territory with some RARE GROOVE!!!!!

SoulNRnB Presents: 1979

Another edition of #TheSoulMixtape SoulNRnB presents mixes, this time taking you back to 1979. The Disco fashion was coming to an end, and Soul music was on the cusp of moving to more electronic sounds. Hip Hop was an emerging force, but Soulful music was everywhere. Can you imagine a track like The Crusaders "Street Life" hitting the charts today? Well it did big time back in '79.

Big name stormers from Phyllis Hyman, The Crusaders and Stephanie Mills mix with underground faves from Bobby Womack, Spleandor and Teramusa Hino.

Grizz back at the weekend (Looks like we swapped places this week with him posting a modern mix and me going back!) and ill be back next week.
