Charles Bradley - Black Velvet

Includes four never-before-heard songs dug out of producer Tommy ‘TNT’ Brenneck’s collection. A lovingly collated selection of songs that includes covers of Nirvana and Neil Young tracks done in Charles Bradley’s inimitable style.

What would xmas be without a soul classic? And here’s a new one for you from the velvet larynxed Bradley. Like a glistening diamond wrapped in honey and silk. Rough-hewn but smooth and strong from a heart of gold. Classic horn-punctuated funky soul riffs stab extra poignance into songs of heartache and loss and love praised by a whirring organ. Happy xmas to you.

Black Velvet is a celebration of Charles Bradley, lovingly assembled by his friends and family at Dunham / Daptone Records. Though chronologically the material spans Charles' entire career, this is no anthology, greatest hits or other shallow rehashing of the songs that already made him famous. Black Velvet is a celebration of his life, and is destined to join Charles' first three albums alongside the cannon of essential soul records for the ages.
