Videos of the Day – week of 9/10/18

9/10 – there’s a posthumous Charles Bradley coming out in Nov.

Off of Charles Bradley’s upcoming album Black Velvet, “I Feel a Change” was originally recorded as part of the Victim Of Love sessions. November 5, 2018 would have been Charles Bradley’s 70th birthday. In celebration of his extraordinary life, Daptone imprint Dunham Records will release his fourth and final album on November 9. Black Velvet will feature ten studio recordings never before included on any album. 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. Rather, this album is a profound exploration through the less-travelled corners of the soulful universe that Charles and his longtime producer, co-writer and friend Tommy “TNT” Brenneck created in the studio together over their decade-long partnership.

9/11 – Hozier has unveiled a new video this week, about which he says:

“This song was intended as a thank you note to the spirit and legacy of protest; to the artists who imbued their work with the vigour of dissent, and a reflection on the importance of that tradition in the context of the rights, and lives, we enjoy today.”

9/12 – what a thrill to have Joseph in the Corner Lounge before their show at The Southern!  They covered a Rolling Stones classic on last year’s Stay Awake EP & here’s a live version from Amsterdam early last year…

9/13 – another cool track & video from Cautious Clay…

9/14 – Kelsey Kopecky stopped in with Joseph in the Corner Lounge earlier this week & ditched the keyboard for a guitar on last year’s EP, The Babysitter Worktapes.  Here’s a video from that project as we await her new full-length next spring…
