Shaun Escoffery

Welcome to the latest edition of the Podcast, first off, it's very rare that a UK based artist gets my Album Feature accolade, but I just could not pass on Shaun Escoffery's new set "Evergreen." I can highly recommend this album from every stand point; it's well written songs, tight production and great mix, with Shaun never sounded vocally better. Definitely one for the collection. One or two other new things here today;  got more from tracks from the Features Album last week, Keith Sweat's "Dressed To Impress" along with David Hollister's excellent new album entitled "MANuscript" with the lovely Ms Katrenia Jefferson, who incidentally is doing very well Stateside with the song "In The Breeze" taken from her current album.

Soul Junction records are just about to drop a new single from the Philly based Coalitions "Nothing Left To Do." is a pretty classy track so I had to squeeze that onto this weeks playlist. I am still playing catch-up, with a little bit with the new music, but I'm getting there thanks to help from my friend behind the scenes, Mr Mickey Nold. Talking of Mickey he as made a few changes to the Blog pages, so its easier than ever to find the most recent shows all you have to do is scroll down the page (over the previous 3 shows) and hit the play button for the show you wanna hear.

Old Skool lovers check out Charles Drain, and a not often played track from the Queen of Soul Ms Aretha Franklin, so as always there's a little something something for everyone. Sit back enjoy no matter how you tune into the Science of Soul it's always a pleasure to see you.

Shaun Escoffery biography:

Shaun Escoffery is a British soul and R&B singer and actor, who was born in London. His first major release was the single "Space Rider", released by Oyster Music in March 2001. It was played regularly by the BBC Radio 1 DJ Trevor Nelson and The Dreem Teem. It peaked at #52 in the UK Singles Chart, and was followed by the UK #53 hit "Days Like This" in 2002. After releasing several other singles on the same label, Escoffery became more noticed for his voice - being noticed by Lennox Lewis, who invited him to Memphis, Tennessee, to sing the national anthem before his boxing match with Mike Tyson. In 2007, Escoffery released an album entitled Move into Soul, which included cover versions of "A Change Is Gonna Come" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Also that year, he received a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for his work in the stage musical Parade, and the following year played Mufasa in a London production of The Lion King. Escoffery's other West End credits include Les Misérables, Smokey Joe’s Café, Tommy and Mama I Want to Sing. More here
