The SOUL TOGETHERNESS series is back with another fantastic instalment and of FIFTEEN modern soul room dance floor monsters. It s been an amazing year for new music, so less room than previously for revivals, though the one chosen (from 1986) is an anthem by Lew Kirton never previously available on CD. From the Nu-skool we are proud to include top name artists including R. Kelly ( Share My Love has been one of the biggest dance records this year) and Anthony Hamilton, rubbing shoulders with those acts who are consistently making great modern soul music such as Kenny Thomas ( Turn It Up is exclusive to this compilation on CD), Glen Goldsmith, Big Brooklyn Red and Cool Million. There s a mini celebration of the music of Don Blackman here with two of his compositions, Heart s Desire and I Love You , the latter by Jarrad Anthony featuring a rare appearance on keyboards by Lonnie Liston Smith. With vibrant horns and a soulful dance groove, tracks featured by Bah Samba and Jazzanova have also been massive on our music scene this year. We also include the mighty Gregory Porter whose single release of "1960 what?" has sold bundles this year, plus hot new talents that we believe in such as AAries and the Michael J.Powell produced Maurissa Rose.
