Lee Fields

Welcome to this weeks Science of Soul, lots of new music this week as I feature the latest album from Soul legend Lee Fields's "Emma Jean", Lee as been around forever a true soul survivor and he seems to have ignored all the trends that come-and-go and just continued to make real soul music in the only way he knows how, emotion and drive! and long may he continue to do so.

Other new releases in todays show are a  couple of new names to me Maryanne Ito, the Honolulu based rising star, her album "Waking Up" is pretty special, and another new name to me is Lamont Bagfeel who I know very little about this guy but included in this weeks show a track called "Just Wanna Be With You" from his latest project "Identity". I'm always excited to hear anything new from Mr Howard Hewett, he as teamed up with another legend Jim Gilstrap to guest on Craig T. Cooper's new album "Purpose" .... It does not disappoint.

New gospel music the week from Mel Holder ft Gerald Alston I don't think this the finished mix but I couldn't wait to share it with you. Brooklyn born Karen Bernod makes her Science of Soul debut ahead of her new album that's due pretty soon I gotta tell you this lady is pretty special expect big things with the right push Karen is surely a star on the rise.And you old school lovers don't worry there's no shortage of the classics well known and obscure that you love. Sit back enjoy and share the Science of Soul with a friend...
