Now we hear my selections from the TRA​И​Ƨ​A compilation ~ more info here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transa_(compilation_album) // https://redhot.bandcamp.com/album/tra-a

Love these sweet and tender cover versions of 4 of my favourite artists ; Jackie Shane's 'Any Other Way', Sylvester's 'You Make Me Feel', Kate Bush's 'Deeper Understanding', and Sinead O'Connor's 'Feel So Different'. If you've listened to my shows over the years, you know I am a huge fan of those 4, and part of why this compilation caught my attention.
