Soul Searching VIII
This 8th episode of Soul Searching starts with a really nice track from The Bird And The Bee's 'Interpreting the masters volume 1' album. And it’s followed by the late Rick James. No one can sing ‘sexy, sexy, sexy’ better than he did in his prime. There’s also a track from the new José James album ‘Blackmagic’. It’s one of the best albums of 2010 so far, if you ask me. Check it out! Thanks to Baron von Luxxury for sharing Serge Gainsbourg! LeBaron almost wrote a track for the latest Britney Spears album, but his effort was rejected. But that turned out to be a good thing when the album came out… Mayer Hawthorne will play on the 5th of May at the Liberty Festival in Groningen.
