Chromemusic favourite Ben Sollee , who has been included on almost each one of our Sweet Serenade mixtapes so far, returns with the first track of his upcoming album “Inclusions” which you can preorder via Bandcamp. I am a huge fan of his sweet, soulful music and i have been looking fwd to some new music from Ben Sollee, & judging from the first track his new album will make no exception. Really in love with this tune..

*ps i guess Cat Stevens wrote a song for all my girlfriends & buddies that got lost in the world*

Here to refresh your memory are 2 more of his tracks and our all time favourites:

Ben Sollee – Only a Song (ft Jim James of My Morning Jacket)

Ben Sollee – A change is gonna come (Sam Cooke cover)

“Give you the heavens and the sunshine” this is what this mix is about, steppin away from the beat driven music to give some music i listen to when hanging in my yellow hamock.

After the huge success which my first mix represented by being heard simply everywhere i went, i did another one – actually i am planning on doing a whole series (have 6 covers already finished and mix 3 is in the pipeline). Enjoy this one – especially in these quiet days. So have fun and let the hamock sway.
