Simply Red - A New Flame
Ok… twice @Anonymoot has played this and I just realised, it isn’t one of my 14 Infected Mushroom albums… had to put that right!
I also spotted another three I haven’t listened too 
I’ll have to put that right as well 
Anyway, Infected Mushroom - The Gathering
Cassandra Jenkins - My Light, My Destroyer. Latest from Ms Jenkins. Beautiful.
Listening to her new album reminded me how good the last one was. Cassandra Jenkins - An Overview On Phenomenal Nature
Over lockdown and occasionally recently ( mainly ‘cos I got bored of reaction videos) I followed / watched the YouTube vocal coach Beth Roars and liked her insights into music.
Recently she released an album of her own songs - which she describes as
“A musical journey of self discovery from darkness to light. Fable (the album name) blends dark pop, spoken word, and cinematic Celtic ( well she is Scottish) sounds to create a story…”
Basically a concept album.
Beth Roars - Fable
