Leave You Alone / Thom's Heartbreak

Last Summer, Kelly Finnigan made you a mixtape. It was an eclectic mix of ideas, experimentation, and pure groove. Now, Colemine Records is excited to share two of those tracks on vinyl for the first time. The A-side 'Leave You Alone,' is a stone-cold classic R&B soul cut, and a certified ear worm. It tells a love story from the female perspective, inspired by the soulful sounds of Bettye Swann. This track features the Ramey Brothers (of Monophonics, The Ironsides) and highlights Kelly on all other instruments. The B-side, 'Thom's Hartbreak' is a thank you letter to Thom Bell & William Hart, two names that are synonymous with the "Philly Sound" of the 60's and 70's. This instrumental track highlights Finnigan on the piano and vibraphone, but Alex Baky's flute sings center stage, acting as the sweet falsetto of William Hart. The Ramey brothers are back as well, with their bass & guitar parts acting as a nod to the session men known as MFSB. The tune is an homage to a sound that shaped American music and left an indelible mark on the future of soul.
