Bobby Womack - Please Forgive My Heart (Prod. Damon Albarn)

After seeing Bobby Womack perform in concert just before Christmas, it was clear he was not in a good way following his battle with prostate cancer, but it's amazing to hear that he has new material on the way. 'Please Forgive My Heart' is the lead single from Bob's forthcoming album 'The Bravest Man In The World', which has been co-produced by Damon Albarn & Richard Russell and will be his first LP since 'Resurrection' in 1994. There are bound to be comparsions to Gil Scott's 'I'm New Here' & 'We're New Here', but to me it sounds like the King (Godfather is already taken) of Soul has created something totally unique and fresh, which is all I would expect from one of the greatest artists to walk the planet. Download the single for free HERE and the album is out June 11th.

Nina Kraviz - Aus (Feat. King Aus On The Mic) x Turn On The Radio

There aren't many artists who you fancy as much as you love their music, but for me Nina Kraviz probably tops that category. The young Siberian producer yesterday released her self-titled debut album, and it's clear for all to see that she has come a very long way since her first standout releases on the likes of Cocoon & BPitch. Working with with Acid House and experimental off-beat rhythms, Kraviz has created a dark and enchanting masterpiece, which has lots of love and soul embedded from start to finish. Check out my two favourite tracks after the jump and get your copy HERE.
