We were drowning in #NewMusic this week! An eclectic mix of original, intelligent, melodic, grown-up songs - #electronic, #rnb, #jazz, #blues and #acoustic. And mostly from artists who you have not heard of - yet!
We had #NewMusic from The Brinks, Ben Harper + Charlie Musselwhite, U.S. Girls, Cold Specks, Spilt Milk Society, Summer Walker, Julia Biel, A.V.I.D (A Voice I Deserve), CIPHERS, Bettye LaVette, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Good Ghost, Clelia Felix, Maff, Jaime Woods, Manipulant and others.
This week's Luvva Cover was wonderful! At the age of 72, the incredible Bettye LaVette has brought out an album of covers of songs by Bob Dylan. He is an incredible songwriter but sometimes his delivery can be a little flat. She has brought them to LIFE! She interprets the lyrics in the way that only Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and the truly great singers can. Do listen to this song on our show and explore her new album Things Have Changed. It is truly wonderful.
Music that you just don't hear anywhere else!
