Review: One of UK soul's brightest sparks and Danger Mouse on production: Michael Kiwanuka's highly anticipated sophomore takes a running jump and kicks the Motowns out of the difficult second album cliche. Ranging from epic urgent cinematica "Rule The World" to the smouldering blues ballad "The Final Frame" by way of ELO-meets-Finlay Quaye fuzzy rock funk "One More Night" Michael and Mouse take us through a detailed, dreamy and dramatic adventure that really explores Michael's gutsy range and developed writing style. On level, if not better, than Home Again.

Review: Songs that make you go wow. Voices Of East Harlem's soul is the type of soul you've always known without realising. Built up from a community project, the 20-strong ensemble ran throughout the first half of the 70s releasing three albums full of super gutsy, heart-pumping soul, R&B and gospel. This 1973 self-titled second album is recognised as one of their strongest with crossover hit "Cashing In" gaining the troupe major attention. Written by Leeroy Hutson and produced by Curtis Mayfield the whole album from belting highs ("Just Believe In Me") to torch-bearing sentimental ballad lows ("Giving Lows") is a true soul treat. Essential.

Review: Japanese turntablist, crate-digger and producer Ryuhei The Man has been on fine form of late, offering up fresh revisions of some seriously dope old soul, disco and jazz-funk releases. Here he continues the trend by delivering a neat "45 Edit" of Miami Soul man Milton Wright's 1977 track "Be With Me". His version tightens things up a little, moving from groove-based sections before introducing Wright's superb vocals and the sing-along chorus. He's also been busy on the EQs, too, effectively re-mastering it a touch to suit modern dancefloors. You'll find Wright's breezy original - all glistening guitars, hazy horns and jaunty bass guitar - in full on the flipside.
