Since the release of 2011’s award winning debut, No Time for Dreaming, Charles Bradley has transformed from a rising star in the Daptone galaxy into a
bona-fide headliner, now affectionately known across the globe as "The Screaming Eagle of Soul." The
raw emotion and soulfulness of Bradley's voice lifts him up among the
greats of the golden age of Soul - Otis, JB, Wilson Pickett, and Darrell
Banks. Anyone who has had the privilege of hearing him sing has
experienced how Bradley can captivate an entire audience with a simple "Ooooo..."
Bradley
and writer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Thomas “TNT” Brenneck
returned to Dunham studios and recorded the most exciting Daptone
release to date, Victim of Love. On this album, Bradley moves
past his "Heartaches and Pain" to the great promise of hope and love.
Though quite at home among the music that has affirmed Daptone as the
world’s #1 authority on Soul Music, Victim of Love proves to be a
genre-bending masterpiece, picking up where the early 70’s Temptations
left off and edging boldly forward into psychedelic soul exploration.
