  • Gettin' Down To It by James Brown
    Feb 26 2026

    Send a text

    Gettin’ Down to It is James Brown proving that he wasn’t just a powerhouse performer — he was a storyteller, a stylist and, above all, a man who could make any genre his own. This album sees James Brown not as the Godfather of Soul or the Father of Funk, but as a smoky jazz lounge singer, crooning classic standards alongside the phenomenal Dee Felice Trio. It’s a record filled with tenderness, passion, and a deep love for the jazz tradition that influenced him long before he became a global icon.

    Featured songs:

    Sunny
    That’s Life
    Willow Weep For Me
    Cold Sweat
    Time After Time

  • Automatic For The People by REM
    Feb 19 2026

    Send a text

    What makes Automatic For The People exceptional is its ability to address the most profound human experiences without platitudes or melodrama. The album arrived at a pivotal cultural moment when AIDS was decimating communities and a generation reckoned with its mortality far earlier than expected. But one of its gifts is how it balances darkness with light. For every sombre moment, there's a counterbalance of wit or transcendence.

    Featured songs:

    Drive
    The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite
    Everybody Hurts
    Sweetness Follows
    Man On The Moon
    Nightswimming

  • A New World Record by Electric Light Orchestra
    Feb 12 2026

    Send a text

    Released in 1976, this was the moment Jeff Lynne’s vision snapped into clarity. After years of experimenting with the marriage of rock and classical textures, ELO arrived here with a confidence and cohesion they’d never quite captured before. What you hear across this record is not a band searching for their identity but one fully in command of it — glam-infused, orchestral, and brightly melodic, yet never overwhelmed by its own ambition.

    Featured songs:

    Tightrope
    Telephone Line
    So Fine
    Livin' Thing
    Do Ya
    Rockaria!
