Charles Bradley died last year after finally getting some much deserved recognition. Includes four never-before-heard songs dug out of producer Tommy ‘TNT’ Brenneck’s collection. A lovingly collated selection of songs that includes covers of Nirvana and Neil Young tracks done in Charles’ inimitable style. What would xmas be without a soul classic? And here’s a new one for you from the velvet larynxed Bradley. Like a glistening diamond wrapped in honey and silk. Rough-hewn but smooth and strong from a heart of gold. Classic horn-punctuated funky soul riffs stab extra poignance into songs of heartache and loss and love praised by a whirring organ. Happy xmas to you.

<i>Black Velvet </i>is a celebration of Charles Bradley, lovingly assembled by his friends and family at Dunham / Daptone Records. Though chronologically the material spans Charles' entire career, this is no anthology, greatest hits or other shallow rehashing of the songs that already made him famous. <i>Black Velvet</i> is a celebration of his life, and is destined to join Charles' first three albums alongside the cannon of essential soul records for the ages.
