The latest volume in Expansion’s annual “Luxury Soul” series is as posh and indulgent as you’d expect, with a bumper selection of soul-fired songs stretched across three action-packed discs. There’s plenty of variety on show – in this context soul can include retro-futurist soul, R&B, modern soul, revivalist boogie, disco, jazz-funk and more – as well as a mixture of obscure and better-known artists. Picking highlights is tough but our current favourites include the breezy, 70s style two-step soul goodness of Tyra Levone’s “Keep Steppin'”, the synth-powered 80s soul brilliance of Frankie Fandango’s “Lovestruck (2019 Remix)”, the P-funk flavoured flex of Ed Motta and the soulful house strut of Paul Johnson.
