Randa And The Soul Kingdom – What You Need

A Track From Eastside Radio’s Album of The Week

Eilen Jewell – Queen Of The Minor Key

A brilliant but quite dark album from Eilen. 50’s rock n’ roll, Rhythm & Blues, soul, country and jazz are all blended seamlessly. Look out for the track ‘Bang Bang Bang’, a real corker!

Staff Benda Bilili – Tres Tres Fort

A truly inspiring album, Staff Benda Bilili’s members are all paraplegic and were discovered by a couple of documentary makers outside of a Zoo in Kinshasa, Congo. They have an awesome afro jungle soul rock sound and are amazing dancers too! A very special album.

‘Je t’aime’

‘Moziki’

‘Mwana’

And today’s final track on the New Thing was possibly the happiest song ever written! Japanese fast soul artist Makoto has delved into some sunshine disco funk on this track ‘Tower Of Love’. It features vocals from Paul Randolph and I DARE you not to smile when you listen to it!

Be sure to tune in every Monday from 9.00 til 10.30am for your weekly dose of fresh new music!
