This week’s First Listen Friday selections in order of interest (Albums/EPs only) are presented below. FYI: appearance on the list does not indicate an endorsement by soulhead of the artist or album. Instead, this First Listen list will make this week’s selections easier to access as we collectively work our way through the music. Our team will be providing updates along the way on our Facebook page so be on the lookout. Over time, we will improve our sources and this list will evolve. In the meantime, please let us know if there is a recent release we need to check out. Enjoy!
