New Music - number 5 in a random series - "Aloe Blacc"

over on entropy   this was / is a series of posts showing You Tube clips of new artists I've discovered via promo Cd or random purchasing due to liking covers or label or it being a Monday...
So this time I thought I'd start over here and introduce you, dear reader(s) to a new soul artist  that   is occupying my CD player  at the moment.
Aloe Blacc 
was someone I'd never heard of until my daughter pushed me away from the keyboard, mid blog , to type his name into "You Tube" and decry that I'd like him..
She'd heard this track on the radio and clocked it as something I'd appreciate..
She was right, I did. 
Mr Amazon did too as I promptly ordered both his CD's

and I was not disappointed!

"Good Things" is the latest , it's a more polished effort as "Shine Through" is more hip hop influenced, but both a re terrrific examples of someone apearing from nowhere and stacking out a large proportion of my listening time
Here's a clip of the track that started it all, "I need a Dollar", live in the studio...
