A recent article said that compilations are to 2015 what mixtapes were a generation ago: the best way to discover new music and new artists. But the brand new compilation album, Bespeak Love, is more than that: It is a way to discover a soulful, musical city. Portland, Oregon has quietly been the home of a new generation of incredible independent artists who are improving the world of soul music.
The album features such young greats as Ericka Warren, Ronnie, Kimberly Monique, Saeeda Wright, Ashley Jayy, Eldon T. Jones, Tamara Stephens, Chris Turner, and SoulTracks Editor’s Choice winner Jarrod Lawson.
Bespeak Love is a fantastic introduction for some to these talented young stars, and a treat for those fans who’ve already been following them. And for us, we’re proud to say it is our newest SoulTracks Listening Room.
Check out Bespeak Love below and get your Portland on!
