Noora Noor - Forget What I Said

In 2009 Norwegian, Somalia-born r'n'b singer Noora Noor released Soul Deep, an astonishing album produced by fellow Norwegian Christopher "Kid" Andersen and recorded with musicians from Little Charlie & The Nightcats in San Jose, California. It's a record steeped in Southern soul music of the kind that Al Green, The Staple Singers, Aretha Franklin and others have done so well, a record that rings true and sounds right in every way. This was Noor's third and last album to date, so it's really about time that she comes up with new music soon. Here is "Forget What I Said", one of the album's many great tracks. It wasn't recorded in the Stax Studios in the 1960's, but if I didn't know better it would definitely have fooled me.
