Various - Crown Jewels Vol. 1(Big Crown Records)(2019)(LP)

 

The first Big Crown Records compilation. Mostly known for their great 7" 45 rpm soul releases, Big Crown has collected a few of them on this great compilation. Not all of it is soul music, but this release is smooth. A joy of a listen. Lots of highlights on this LP. But for me the song that caught my ear immediately, Lady Wray - Guilty. If you like this, you will enjoy the rest as well. 

Holy Hive - Float Back To You (Big Crown Records) (CD, 2020)

 

Wow, what a find! I picked up Holy Hive's 7 inch single from Big Crown Records not too long ago. I was not really sure what I was buying but I am trying to buy what I can from that label so I just grabbed it. The single was "Broom" (which is the first song on this CD as well). What a great song! The mellow vibe, the falsetto voice, and that little burst of horns is just gorgeous. Take a listen to that song here. If this song feels right to you, then get this album.
