It's Only Us is the fifth studio full-length album by American Soul group Monophonics, It was released on March 13, 2020.  Monophonics are most definitely a keystone, even coming from out in California,   A superb album by a band of strangers. Amazing; all the songs in this album are excellent. Classic vintage Motown  sound that blends heavy psychedelic soul and psych-rock, Monophonics have built a reputation over the past decade, It feels great when you would hear these songs isn’t wasn’t about greed, infidelity, money, or violence it was a beautiful sound that made you happy to be alive. also pulling influences from such acts as early Funkadelic, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield,  Sly, and The Family Stone. A soul record that smokes from start to finish is an interesting ride.   A simpler time. A time when music wasn't offensive or hateful. the messages of love, caring, surviving guilt, and anguish tap right into your soul.   while  concurre ntly  ...

Texas Sun is a  collaborative   studio ep by American trio Khruangbin featuring Leon Bridges, it was released on February 7, 2020, The collaboration between these two is what music dreams are made of,  something cool and fresh with a little retro-funk-soul production.   I  checked this out because I dig Leon Bridge's  previous album's , but I was unfamiliar with Khruangbin before hearing Texas Sun, really glad that this turned me on to those musicians because their sound really hits the spot for me.  Leon seems to go deeper this time around. He has really learned his way around a song. What was essentially an  approximation  of a Sam Cooke/ Marvin Gaye type of balladeer,  a breath of fresh air for classic soul and R&B,  Leon has come into his own style and really sounds like his own artist now. And also khruangbin did an amazing job with all the musical arrangments, I rate this album solid 10/10.  KhruangBin · Texa...

Invisible People is the fourth album by band Chicano Batman. it was released on May 1, 2020. Nothing but good vibes and good health for Chicano Batman, so this creation keeps the rhythm going, Groovy, funky, fuzzy, this album is a wonderful treat in the current world of so much lousy, generic, bland music. While this album doesn't totally convey how great Chicano Batman sounds live, but I really  appreciate the art and meaningful lyrics in this record. I rate this album 9/10.
