PHILLY FUSION PROJECT – PURE CD
Quality, sophisticated soul album featuring the lead vocals of Vikki Wright. This album has a really nice feel to it and it is quite distinctive from the majority of the recent releases.
‘Cognitive Sensuality’ is a mid tempo groover, ‘Bump’ is slightly more uptempo with some nice background sax playing. ‘The First Time’ and ‘Knots’ are slower mid tempo tracks that build. Well produced, listening album , one to really get into.

CARMICHAEL – FANTASY RAIN DOUBLE CD £13.95
This double CD comprising 25 tracks in total show two sides of Carmichael’s musical persona. ‘Fantasy’ is the Soul and ‘Rain’ the RnB side. ‘Fantasy’ includes several great tracks such as the sublime ‘More Than Wonderful’, but ‘That’s My Song’ and ‘Always Come Back’ are strong mellow Soul tunes. His vocal as something of Maxwell about it, but also check the outstanding ‘It Was All Good’, which has more than a hint of Anthony Hamilton to it. The Soul CD is strong throughout – 2 albums for the price of one – good value!

RICHARD EARNSHAW – IN TIME CD £13.95
Brilliant album of mainly uptempo soul that is reminiscent of reel People or Sunburst Band in places.
'Good Love ft Eric Dillard, 'My Door Is Open' ft Carleen Anderson, 'Worthy' ft Jocelyn Brown
'Waiting' Ft Kenny Thomas and 'In Time ft Eric Dillard and Roy Ayers are quality uptempo grooves
The more laidback 'Rise' ft Ursula Rucker's spoken word and Roy Ayers, and 'Young And Foolish ft Natasha Young provide a nice contrast. One of the best soul albums of this year so far.
