Fresh Faves: Batch 607

Here’s another batch of tracks from the Fresh Faves thisweek. BARELO, ANTREX & SUSIE LEDGE – Rewind Sekora · Rewind I’m not entirely sure who BARELO, ANTREX and SUSIE LEDGE are as any info leads me back to the Sekora label.

Track Of The Day: “Fastlove” – George Michael

On 4th May 1996 this song was George Michael’s 7th UK no. 1 starting a three week run at the top of the chart and it was the second of six tracks taken from his Older album. First of all I can’t believe it’s 30 years since this track went to No.1. It’s wild to …

Track Of The Day: “The Emergence” – Jon Onabowu

Track Of The Day: “Rich Man” – Hapin Usuwo

Now this is a track that is a meal suitable only for the Asantehene! A bit of folk, combined with soul, and a bit of an Afrobeat groove to sweeten the Ghanaian jollof rice of a track that we have here. If you know you know. This starts off with a cool guitar riff, leading …

Track Of The Day: “Crazy” – Gnarls Barkley

It’s strange to think that it’s 20 years since this came out. About a year later, I had it as my ringtone, but we’ll come back to that shortly. Gnarles Barkley was a pairing between Danger Mouse and CeeLo Green, and it was fabulous they actually went to number one with this track for 9 …
