@vicgoddard Don’t come pass the M60 Goddard. Harry is a legend!!

Harry Maguire sent off! What a shame. Couldn’t happen to a nicer cheat!

40 years since his debut solo album, here’s some appreciation for Howard Hewett. Such a distinct vocalist, expressive and capable of emotional bursts that hit home, plenty of gems in his work. ‘I Commit To Love’ is a gorgeous stepper that y oh can snap up!

Our 50th Anniversary issue is now available in print & digital formats, starring Bluey Maunick/Incognito @Incognito_world on the cover, our selection of the best 50 soul albums from 50 years and tons more: echoesmagazine.co.uk/shop-printissu… echoesmagazine.co.uk/shop-digitalis…

There are junctions in soul music where a team of talents come together and produce high art. And then dissipate after burning bright for such a short time. Lou Courtney produced by Jerry Gagavoy. One of the most loved soul LPs in the UK, here is the quartet of singles. Cult hero

@mattforde Seinfeld. Doesn’t date and is so reassuring in its misanthropy

Last time I was in hospital, I binged Curb Your Enthusiasm. Then during my recovery I binged The Office (US). This time I’ve started on 30 Rock so that I can binge it during my recovery. I’m tearing through it too fast. What other modern American comedy series are there?

This record is 50 years old. But this run of ballads sounds so sophisticated and haunting that you that timescale feels impossible. The Isley Brothers 70s albums contain many of the greatest ever soul songs but are still under-appreciated.

Chapter 8’s ‘This Love’s For Real’ LP is 40 years old. How can this be?? Still has one of the best 4 track runs of any album ever. Cult UK Classic.

@brandonousley Looking for your love is a UK anthem

Album of the day. You'd have to be a true R&B enthusiast to know Adriana Evans and her 1997 self-titled debut album. One of the overlooked artists to emerge during the "neo-soul" boom, Evans truly fit the bill of a singer's singer with a pristine, jazz-inflected voice that echoed the sophistication and verve of female soul singers from the mid-to-late 1970s. She and producer Dred Scott produced a sound that was distinctly classic and modern, one that mostly married live instrumentation with uptown hip hop sensibilities: elegant strings, striking woodwinds and brass, and rugged, hearty percussion work. Somehow, none of it sounds like homages to any past influences either, thanks in part to Evans' pure voice and the breezy production that anchors the set. Why an album that effortlessly rode into different lanes is largely unknown and underacknowledged by the masses speaks to the meager promotion the now-defunct Loud Records gave it. Already something of an anomaly on a hip hop-based label, Loud didn't know how to market Evans' boundless, grown-up flavor alongside the street-centric tastes that raged on Black radio at the time. It's quite a shame, as it still holds up far better than several praised R&B releases from that time.

The new @DJ_Indications album. Just head and shoulder above any else around at the moment. Strings and horns with tight vocals and gusto. Love them so much. Get the UK tour tickets- they’re superb live. Revives my faith in new soul music.

It's Ace new release day folks! Like, RT or comment to win one of three sets of new releases. The winners will be drawn out of the hat at 5pm today. 🎩

Anyone at Young Gun Silver Fox in Manchester? @neiljon31

@soultrackscom His solo album and singles were amazing too, another golden voice lost.

A sad day. John Edwards, former lead singer of The Spinners, has died at age 80 zurl.co/5NDxk

Been after this for ages on 45, with the equally amazing ‘Come To Me’ in the flip. Walter Jackson, The Lord of Deep Soul. A voice beyond this mortal coil.

@somethingrand77 Maze featuring Frankie Beverly.

Name a great band that’s not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

@StuCharteris55 Once the song worms get into the grey matter, they won’t leave!!

@jreldon Currently on my second listen - it's very good!

New Young Gun Silver Fox, plus signed print for getting in early. Perfect bank holiday soundtrack and just in time for their Manchester gig!

@neiljon31 Bought it through their website I think. Which gig are you going to?

@jreldon Where from ? Didn’t realise it was out yet I need to get on this 🤯

@andreag243 His album with Jam and Lewis was superb.

One of the most underrated vocalists! That falsetto... Just wow! Love this from the #SoulInTheHorn event in Brooklyn🙌🏽 #ElDeBarge

Bank Holiday Soul. Lovely on 45 youtu.be/zkgcwFoKdoQ?si…
