Charles Bradley - Changes (2016) [HDTracks]

Charles Bradley has already proved that he is not simply a clone of James Brown, but rather the worthy heir to The Godfather of Soul. With Changes, the Brooklyn soulman rediscovered by the folks at Daptone Records releases a third album on which his impressive voice can lend itself to any melody. Just listening to the eponymous track on the album, an intense cover of an original song by Black Sabbath! The man nicknamed the ‘Screaming Eagle of Soul’ excels in ballads here, but even more impressive are the more up-tempo songs like Ain’t It A Sin – Bradley shows himself to be a master of his chosen art. A great vintage from a big character in soul music right now.
