The Beat Surrender Top 50 Albums Of 2007
2007 has seen some of the best and most varied albums released in years, with genres mashing up here there and everywhere to give us a suitably diverse mixture for our first ever top 50 album run down.
The winner of this years prestigious (cough cough) number one slot goes to an album that actually came out on a small label in Sweden in 2005, but has been given its full proper release this year and what an album it is. Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators give a modern twist on 60’s Detroit Soul and produce an album that is never off your stereo once played.
