Frank Ocean – Bad Religion
special thanks to rhu_ru for another great guest DJ week.
the critics are going nuts over this album (and i noticed a few citizens were fans of mr. ocean previously), and after listening channel orange all weekend, i can see why.

i don't think this is properly representative of his talents, but it's the best live clip out there for now.

Alabama Shakes – You Ain’t Alone
back when the hitman played this a few months back, these guys were a little band called "the shakes" that you'd probably never heard of. so much so that there was almost no decent live material to be found. now, it seems these guys are starting to blow up a bit. here's a vid that i'm sure he would have played instead if he'd had access to it.

if you haven't check out these guys already (and i know several citizens are already on the bandwagon), get you some hipster cred while you can.
(oh yeah, and the new album is coming out in april, you guys)
Charles Bradley – Why Is It So Hard?
There is some awfully cool soul revival going on nowadays.

Rollling Stones – That’s How Strong My Love Is
Trust me, if I could have found a live version of Otis doing his tune, I would have.

Then again, the Stones used to have some decent soul.
