Listen to LMG: The Soul Eclectics’ Summer Soft Mix

Share this article

    As summer breaks wind down, I thought it important to explore the softer side of soul with some of this year’s Quiet Storm grooves. Joining them are a bevy of classic covers and other new millennium jams that are just as moving and timely as they were when they were released over the last 14 years. This is a ballad and slow jam heavy show; so get your cuddle on or relaxing evening at home with a glass of something good and a good book. As usual, I’m giving you more than three hours of continuous music to chill too. No soulful house gym workouts this go-round.
