2.Freedom Express - Fancy Free
3.Jelly - Everybody Needs Love
4.Straight Jacket - The greatest part of loving
5.Chew - See the Light
6.Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye - Love Twins

Lots of brand new music for you this week.

Joe has a new LP out and its his best in years. We have "Something for you" from that LP. Mayer Hawthorne also has a new LP out and the Pharrel produced "Wine Glass Woman" is featured. Other big names also feature like Charlie Wilson, who has an excellent SoulPersona remix of the LP cut "I still have you" coming out; The ever creative Peven Everett features as does a new Melanie Fiona tune.

Then there's the "And More's" like Ab Featuring Phonte who take on Debarge's "All this Love"; Tony Williams, a great Soul Singer, from Kanye West's stable has a new tune. Don't worry, its more LATE REGISTRATION than YEEZUS. And Bobby V goes Stepping with "Back to Love".

There are more tunes, 13 in all and around 50 mins of music for you to catch up on.

Grizz will be back at the weekend with some Jazz Funk (I have a Jazz Funk mix coming up soon too!) and ill see you in a weeks time. By the way, all previous Street Sounds Mixes up to 80 have been deleted for space issues, so remember; if there's an older mix you want, get them before they go!
