Hello, Lawrell here. Eggmun will be absent this week, I will be posting two albums in his stead.
Summer has come, and what better way to celebrate it than with summery music? Retro-R&B most certainly fits that bill, and as you can guess, it sounds like old R&B. And when I say old, I'm thinking about 1950's old, not contemporary R&B from two or three decades ago. Think, say, Ray Charles. Retro music revival has become a thing lately, but retro-R&B is still pretty niche, which is a shame because it's so damned groovy. If JD McPherson's Signs & Signifiers and Nick Waterhouse's Time's All Gone were played on jukeboxes in good ol' 50's diners, it would definitely not feel out of place.
