244. PRESTIGE by Girl Ray
This just released 2023 record by UK trio Girl Ray is the feel good album to get you ready for the weekend. If you don't have plans to hit the disco tonight (I know, I'm aging myself), don't worry - just whip out the old mirrorball, hang it from a light and put this album (especially my recommended tracks) on.
Granted many (all?) of the songs have that Nile Rodgers / Chic chuc-a-chuc thing going on, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in my book. Spin the following tracks and you'll hear what I'm talking about: 'Hold Tight,' 'Easy,' 'Everybody's Saying That' and 'True Love.'
