Jeffrey Osborne From The Soul Former Member of L.T.D. Jeffrey Osborne has released a new album From The Soul with a collection of cover songs that is already getting noticed on the Urban AC charts. He has reinterpreted classic tunes in his own, silky-smooth style, from Aretha Franklin's "Till You Come Back To Me," to the Curtis Mayfield standard, "People Get Ready," to Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Also included are his first chart hit from the album, "Yes, I'm Ready," and the much-covered "Hey Girl." Overall, this compilation stands very well alongside the recent releases from Michael McDonald and Hall & Oates, and should be welcomed into the collection of any classic R&B fan.

On Nov 16th, ESL Music presents the debut EP “Booty Lock” by Frank Mitchell Jr.! A mysterious rogue hailing from Washington DC, Frank Mitchell Jr. has a voice like honey and the sensibilities of a man that’d make Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield blush.Side A features the no-nonsense roller-skating disco jam “Booty Lock.”Rubbery bass, wah-wah guitars, and silky horns don’t even begin to describe the naughtiness within.The B side, in  this case “B” for “bad ass,” features “Body and Mind” another future soul classic.Just get a little closer and let the rhythm grab you by the hips and draw you in!
Produced by Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation

Also Available as Digital & 7” vinyl

Here is a streaming  version! We'd love to work with you on premiering it, or anything you see fit if you enjoy the tunes. Feel free to post for stream on any of your sites!
