All I can say is that August has been a remarkable month for free Soul Music.
As you know, I was on vacation last week. But that didn’t stop me from listening to over 700 songs between my break and this week. And boy, all I can tell you is that this post is chock full of quality. Everything on this list is a banger. Go feed your hard drive.
Here is my complete listening list for the week, and here is the Spotify playlist for the week (good for one month).
