Clinton Coleman

On this weeks Science of Soul I have a little gospel flavor as my Featured Album that comes from Clinton Coleman & The Clint Coleman Singers, it's a mixture of original songs and covers titled "Better Get Jesusfied," and some great news because it has just picked-up a global distribution deal.

On this weeks show I have two featured albums because I just could not decide between Calvin Richardson's new set "All or Nothing" and Will Downing's latest "Soul Survivor" so I decided to feature both.

A young lady is making her debut today is Ms Kea Michaels out of Pittsburgh, PA, and if this project is anything to go by I'm expecting big things,  "I Love You" is a great way to get started, also representing the ladies is Joy Dennis with a have a track from her excellent album "Listening Party."

Just in case your wondering I haven't forgot the fellas they are represented by Lomax and his new single "Kiss It Goodbye" and from the ATL we have Todd B a gentleman who is gaining a lot of interest at the moment -  not hard to see why. Cale Brocks album just gets better and better so I have dipped into that again plus the lead single from Walter Williams' upcoming album "Lets Spend The Night Together." My Chicago Soul brother Stan Mosley is riding high in the soul charts with his version of the Philly classic "Ain't No Stopping Us" but I'm gonna give a little taste from his forthcoming album due before the end of the year, so "Tell Him" is classic Stan Mosley, I cant wait for this album, it's gonna be special.

Irene Renee's biography:
Recently, working with phenomenal musicians, producers, and developing a love for writing, Ms. Irene Renee decided to embark upon a journey to independently produce and release her debut album, aptly entitled, Serendipitous Experience. Her dynamic melding of sultry and earthy mixed with a bit of sweet and sexy is incredibly appealing; the album’s lyrical content coupled with its melodic assortment evoke genuine reactions in her listeners: they love it; they get it! Her music promotes reflection, inspiration, and movement. She has been compared to singers like Toni Braxton, Jill Scott, Cassandra Wilson, and Anita Baker and complimented by accomplished artists, including Cissy Houston and Luther Vandross.
