Emma Noble - No Turning Back - Out today View full article
-
Details of a new release.. Emma Noble - No Turning Back Out today on all platforms via Cosmos Music Emma Noble’s sound is rooted in and influenced by her deep love for rare soul, funk and disco. Her passion and knowledge for this music steadily grew since moving to London 10 years ago and delving herself deep into the city’s underground soul scene. Starting as backing vocalist for ‘New Street Adventure’ (Acid Jazz), she then went on to write with Lack of Afro (Freestyle / LOA Records) and has spent the last few years spinning records all over the UK & Europe as one half of the dynamic DJ duo Noble & Heath....but now it’s time to shine light on her solo artist career. Noble launches with her debut solo single ‘No Turning Back’, an anthemic, soul-flavoured track about that burning desire for a positive change in life and doing something about it. Quote from Emma Noble: “It’s a kind of metaphor about getting yourself out of a situation where you are a bit stuck, and that moment you realise you need to act. I guess it’s about empowerment and inspiring people who might be in a place where they feel like they aren’t getting the best from life and encouraging them to say “F*** it, I’m getting out of here now" -

Rare Groove stared in the early 1980s at warehouse parties that played rare and obscure American soul and funk records. Pirate radio stations, most famously "Kiss FM," played a game of cat and mouse to avoid being arrested by the authorities while they spun rare soul records. Interviews include: Tony Farsides (journalist), DJ Roy the Roach, Deve Henley (Pressure Drop), DJ Judge Jules, Fraser Cooke (fashion designer), and many others. EP 7. GET ON THE GOOD FOOT As the new electronic style of Hip Hop was filtering its way through to a generation of break dancers. Soho had thrown up a new slant on an old style: Rare Groove. From the first warehouse parties and Nicky Holloway’s Do At The Zoo to Soul II Soul’s African Centre gigs, Rare Groove put the Godfather of soul James Brown back on the map. Interviews with Judge Jules, Roy The Roach, Dave Henley, Femi Williams, Eddie Prendergast, Nicky Holloway, Jazzie B and founder of the scene Norman Jay. -

Soul Voices - 60s Big Ballads Details follow of a great new Kent Records release titled Soul Voices, 60s Big Ballads is the tag line and it most certainly lives up to that tag. Out right now on Cd, and also available via a mp3 sampler format, via both download and streaming services. A powerful and dramatic collection that demands to be played loud. Release Notes Preview Majestic male vocalists singing over subtly orchestrated arrangements of superb songs were the pinnacle of 1960s black music sophistication. Male soul balladeers from the 60s have always been particularly admired. Roy Hamilton, Walter Jackson, Lou Johnson and Ben E King – some of the A-listers featured here – epitomise the genre and have devoted followers. This grand sound evolved from the first soul records which emanated in the early 60s mainly in New York, where three quarters of the tracks here were recorded. Four are previously unissued. Kenny Carter’s ‘Big Bad Rain’ is a superb Larry Banks and Herman Kelley song, stunningly arranged by New York studio maestro Garry Sherman. Clarence Pinckney is lesser-known but delivers the Billy Terrell song ‘Just Outside Of Lonely’ with aplomb. Prolific recording artists Junior Lewis and Billy Watkins both add a new song to their already impressive CVs. Lewis’ recording is a demo of the tender Buddy Lucas song ‘I Love You So Much’ which was never covered for a release. Its sparse backing seems appropriate to the song, especially next to Jimmy Radcliffe’s ‘Through A Long And Sleepless Night’, which has a minimal arrangement but made it to 45. Billy Watkins sang in most soul styles in a 20-year Los Angeles recording career. His reading of the jazz standard ‘I Want To Be Loved’ was clearly Sam Cooke-inspired and reeks of sophistication.

The Guardian recently pushed out a great interview with Bootsy Collins from Ammar Kalia Bootsy Collins: 'We're all funky, just not all of us know it' Details below... The P-Funk bassist was a street kid in the 60s, got his break with James Brown, then spent much of the 70s taking LSD. He talks about drugs, racism, police brutality – and the healing power of music Bootsy Collins: ‘Funk just brings people together. It doesn’t have nothing to do with colour.’ At the age of 17, William “Bootsy” Collins packed up his homemade bass guitar and left home to tour the world with James Brown. He was heading off in pursuit of the funk. Or, as he calls it now – aged 68, in his high-pitched rasp down the phone from Cincinnati, Ohio – “the fonk”. Full piece via https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/15/bootsy-collins-were-all-funky-just-not-all-of-us-know-it Photo By MikaV Bootsy Collins’s Stars is out now; all proceeds from the streams and downloads go to the MusiCares Covid-19 relief fund -

Stuart Cosgrove: Apologies alone are not enough to atone for racism An interesting article from Stuart Cosgrove shows up on The National newspaper website. Known to many on here as the author of such books as Detroit67, Memphis68, Young Soul Rebels and more, the author passes on his take on the current mainstream media's reaction to the killing of George Floyd. It was inevitable that George Floyd’s killing would reverberate arounds the media and lead to an outpouring of self-recrimination. We had seen the script before in the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein trial. Film and television are by their nature sensitive and often self-obsessed industries, but they are also made up of creative people working away on the imprecise role of being a motherboard of national taste and tolerance....

Word about an upcoming 45 release from Cannonball Records Previously unissued from Darrell Banks 'It's Not Fair To Me' The Lost Atlantic Recording Sessions New York 12/26/1967 Acetate Studio Demo Restored/Remastered + 2020 Version + Instrumental 3 tracks 7”/45rpm - Core Black Vinyl - Picture Sleeve Out End of July 2020 Although we are beyond 40 releases across the 3 labels, here we are at the milestone of #30 on our main outfit Cannonball Records. We just wanted to celebrate it with one special release. The cooperation between our label and Detroit’s finest Peoples Records dates back to our #004 Big Lee Dowell. The slow ballad on acetate that later became the record many of you know as “What I Done Wrong” in fact was among the tens of listenings me and Brad had on a sleepless winter night of 5 years ago in Detroit. We have been doing projects together ever since. Now it’s the case of this beautiful previously unissued recording that was part of a session Mr. Banks did on Boxing Day of 1967 at the legendary Atlantic Studios in New York. In particular 2 of the songs recorded on that day went lost for decades. Here we present one of them, trying to give it the deserved justice. No one know how the acetate made it there, but it was found and phisically restored by Brad in Detroit and being such an important find for the world of Soul we eventually managed to track down and inform Darrell’s’ sister Lois, who rounded up what remains of the family and gave us the green light to the project. We are testing the beta version of this new little software that does wonders when it comes to isolate vocals and, given the bouncing nature of the original song, we just thought a humble groovy alternate version would have been just perfect for the flipside. So we did. Being the man a treasured icon of the Northern Soul scene there’s plenty of bibliography out there that tells about this incredible Artist, who was moody and quick tempered although an overall mighty entertainer, so there’s no point in resuming here once again his life and career background. We are all going through difficult times and many of the historical racial issues that dominated the world at the times of Darrell Banks are not yet solved. In these sad sad times for the human race we are just proud to release a previously unissued song from yet another black man shot to death by a cop in the streets of Detroit on a spring day of 1970. Black Lives Matter. Always did and always will. #blacklivesmatter CBLL30 Darrell Banks "It's Not Fair To Me" 3 tracks 7" / 45rpm Out End of July 2020 Preorders https://www.cannonballsoul.com -
