Every week we get a fresh new music update with Tuesday Reviewsday. And this time we're joined by music supervisor Morgan Rhodes. Here are her picks:
Aretha Franklin and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Album: A Brand New Me: Aretha Franklin (With The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra)
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Queen of Soul's signing to Atlantic Records, they have released these recordings, re-interpreted by the London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Here's a mini documentary that goes behind the scenes in the making of the re-imagined album.
B.Slade
Album: B. Slade
Anthony Charles Williams II is known by many in the gospel community by his stage name Tonéx. He is a California native, singer, songwriter and actor. But he's now venturing into more secular music, and he re-imagined and renamed himself as B.Slade.
Fuzzy moog'd arrangements and vocal precision are staples on the latest from this gospel artist turned future soul star.
30/70 Collective
Album: Elevate
Melbourne continues to break the mold and break artists when it comes to avant garde soul. Blending jazz, sampling and hip hop, 30/70's follow-up to their debut project in 2015 is wholly experimental and that's a good thing.
