Soul Mix 9

Dancing at the Tiny Bubble Room- Matte Stephens

The art above is by Matte Stephens, his Etsy can be found by clicking the link in the caption.  I am partial to his Manhattan print and the rest of his city themed prints.  I am also partial to dancing in Tiny bubble rooms.

The newest soul mix is the perfect fodder for tiny bubble room dancing.  At least towards the end.  It starts out slow like most of my mixes seem to do.  Then it delves into some slow, doo-wopish, falsetto type songs.  They are almost more doo-wop/oldie than soul, but it's a fine line and they are good songs so they get the nod.  After that it breaks on through to the other side with a handful of more upbeat tunes.  Some of them are even newer songs that have been released within the last couple of years.
