New Recipes Volume 25

Time for our bi-annual examination of everything 'New Soul' ... with a wide variety of R&B represented here, we've got up and comers, familiar favorites and a few old soul veterans alike. As per usual every now and then, I've taken some liberties with this latest installment of New Recipes, fudging the lines a little with worldly styles, pop styles, punk styles, and more. Two tracks included were released late in 2025 while all other material has been released since January of this year. Dig it, or don't.

Warheads, Brain Blasters & Sour Keys Volume 03

 

Time for a taste of some bitter-sweet soul from this long neglected Glucose For Comfort companion series ... musically speaking Warheads, Brain Blasters & Sour Keys features that same sweet sound and style, however, here all of our vocalists wax rather woefully.
