Charles Bradley - "Strictly Reserved For You"

1.

There has always been a place for retro soul. Mimicking that vintage style has been done well and twisted up some updated variations on a classic sound over the years, but there’s nothing like the real deal, and Charles Bradley is the real deal. You can’t fake that voice and everything wrapped up in it.

On Charles’ 2011 No Time For Dreaming, the weathered soul artist captivated anyone who listened. It was an album that shared the pain of a hard life and decades of existing as a struggling artist. His big break came late in life, but he’s making the most of it. With his first single of the sophomore album, Charles sounds more hopeful than ever, but that soul is no less potent.

Victim of Love is coming April 2nd on Dunham/Daptone Records.
