Ridym RnB Spotlight Series - Teedra Moses


Singer, song writer and producer it's fair to say Teedra Moses has done it all and although she hasn't released an album in a while her past efforts more than qualify her for the RnB hall of fame.

For this mix I've put together some of my fave tracks that include collaborative works of Raphael Saadiq, some unreleased tracks such as take my love away plus a live cut of Mtume's Juicy mixed with still your girl. I seal the deal with the RnB anthem tell her of course!

Right, time to get some Christmas shopping done so if you happen to be doing the same just crank this one up in your car or on your headphones and I guarantee it will zone you out from the mad rush.

Til next time...

13. Take My Love Away
14. My Love

17. You Better Tell Her

#TheSoulMixtape Top 50 Soul Tracks of the 2010s PART ONE


#TheSoulMixtape started in 2009 and  has been running throughout the 2010's. In that time, as well as showcasing the best in Soul music from the past, we showcased the new music being released. These are my top 50 of the decade. A really hard task, so i had to set boundaries; No Hip Hop. No Pop/Commercial RnB. Just purely soulful music.

I may have missed some tracks, but bear in mind these are the first 25 of my picks, the second batch coming in just before Christmas.

Press play below and dont forget to tune in to other shows here and on nuwaveradio.net
