Personal Life - Morning Light The UK based soul group Personal Life have just released their outstanding album Morning Light. On this ten track album you will hear superb songs like the title soulful song 'Morning Light' with Latin influences. My favorite tracks are 'Classy Lady' sounds eighties an have nice strings and bass. 'Give Into The Night' sounds like a Nile Rodgers track because of the guitar riffs. The uptempo 'One Step Closer' full of brass, bass and nice guitar hooks. 'There's A Time For Everything' another great track on this album. You can compare the sound of Personal Life to 'Brand New Heavies' and 'Jamiroquoi'. Check the sound samples and support this group.

George Duke - Dreamweaver George Duke describes this album 'Dreamweaver' as his "strongest album in years." The brilliant keyboardist-composer-producer has gathered a myriad of voices and crystallizes them into a multi-faceted whole that far outweighs the sum of its parts. From bassist Christian McBride's work on the funky jam tune "Burnt Sausage" to Rachelle Ferrell s contemporary jazz singing on "Missing You," every song offers something special. The powerful centerpiece of the album, the positive and politically charged "Change the World," spotlights several up-and-coming young singers alongside some of the most prominent funk, soul, gospel and R&B artists of the last few decades: Lalah Hathaway (daughter of soul legend Donny Hathaway), Jeffrey Osborne, BeBe Winans, Lori Perry (of sister group Perri), Freddie Jackson and Terry Dexter, among others. A special bonus cut, Ball & Chain, features a duet with Duke accompanying the late R&B singer Teena Maria one of the last tracks she recorded before her sudden death in 2010.
This title will be released on July 16, 2013.
