Finnigan, Kelly
Leave You Alone/thom's Hartbreak (black)
In summer 2023, Kelly Finnigan made you a mixtape. It was an eclectic mix of ideas. 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 and William Hart, two names that are synonymous with the '60s/'70s "Philly Sound." This instrumental tune is an homage to a sound thats haped American music and left an indelible mark on the future of soul.
