Charles Bradley Instagram – Available November 22nd (digital only) – The Black Velvet Instrumentals featuring two new tracks by @menahanstreetband as a tribute to Charles Bradley, “Tommy Don’t” and “There’s A New Day Coming”. Listen and pre-order via link in bio. Originally recorded as a single backing track for Charles Bradley, the tune was ultimately shelved (like many other tracks) after Charles’ passing. After some time had gone by the reel made its way back onto the tape machine and producer Tommy TNT Brenneck had a eureka moment. He split the track into two sides and wrote some lyrics for the slower portion as a tribute to CB, which became “There’s a New Day Coming”. He loved the juxtaposition of having the slower, heavy tribute on side A, and the upbeat, lighter track on the flip. When singers, Saundra Williams (Saun & Starr) & Alecia Chakour showed up for the session TNT played them what was to become “Tommy Don’t”. While it was playing Saun said “You know why I like working with you, Tommy? Cause you don’t overthink shit”. And with that Saun started singing “Tommy don’t overthink shit.” Brenneck started cracking up and said, “We HAVE to record that.”. And with that…Voila! 45 single will be available everywhere on November 22nd. Random color vinyl copies of the 45 will be available at the Daptone shop at 10am EST, November 22nd. #charlesbradley #daptone #daptonerecords #menahanstreetband
