288 submissions this week…a crazy week!             

 Nature’s World, mixtape by Mother Nature. The Chicago hip-hop duo waxes both poetic  and neosoul, excelling at each and capturing  your ears as well as – sometimes – your heart.  Performers Klevah and TRUTH make this mixtape ethereal and universal. Stream on Spotify . Visual album on YouTube.

Una Más, single by Ozomatli. They did it again- dance-driving, soul-searching , happy Latin Tropical music with a hook that won’t let go.  Available on all platforms.Spanish and English.

Win the Game, single by Kris Angelis. Angelis always creates music that is more an emotional environment that fills your mind as well as your ears. This may be her best yet.  Beautiful, inspiring.  Available June 17 on her new album Damn Shame Waste.

Things Happen That Way,  single  by Dr. John. First  release from Dr. john’s final studio album before he left us in 2019. Stream on Spotify; pre-order the album on a major platforms.

Go Your Own Way, single byTia McGraff.  Great voice, great music, great message. McGraff is always fun to listen to  and I especially like the way she separate herself from the coutry pack, but stays well within it.  Available on Spotify, Apple Music, deezer and YouTube music.

Ecos, album by Camilo Séptimo. You will not be able to get enough of this album. It covers the gamut from  rock to alternative indie, to pop  and everything in between. The band members are so good that they effortlessly make classics like it is just everyday jamming.  On all major platforms. Spanish.
