Fall into Voices of Women: The Venus Sings Radio WRIU Playlist, November 27, 2010

On November 27, 2010, I brought back this song, Sandcastle Disco, on Venus Sings Radio.  It is from the 2008 full-length album by Solange Knowles: Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams. Other songs from the album I've played on the show include "I Decided" part 1 and 2; "T.O.N.Y"; "Would've Been the One"; and "Dancing in the Dark."

KINGSTON, RI - On Saturday, November 27, I hosted Venus Sings Radio as part of my contributions to Voices of Women, a show on WRIU.  VoW comes on every Saturday from 9-11 AM, and every fourth Saturday I bring Venus Sings Radio.  The show can be heard on 90.3 FM in and around RI, or it can be streamed live by following links and instructions on www.wriu.org.

Here's a look at what I shared last month; if you like some of the artists on the list, do yourself a favor and check out someone new.  FYI:  I dubbed the show the Sultry and Sweet Edition because later that night was the second part of a two-day music series I organized in Providence - The Sultry and Sweet Music Series.  Hope you were there.  If not, sorry you missed it, but I guess you can take comfort in this list.
