News: Charles Bradley
Download Charles Bradley’s ‘Heartaches & Pain’ For Free
Among all the artists we discovered in 2011, Charles Bradley has been leaving one of the most consistently good impressions. After his surprisingly awesome Nirvana cover, we bring you a free download of his song Heartaches & Pain.
The track comes from Bradley’s re-release of his debut album No Time For Dreaming – which originally came out in January, but saw a new release in October, including the Nirvana cover above mentioned, as well as a cover of Neil Young’s Heart of Gold. Heartaches & Pain is described as an “autobiographical track” by the singer, as it deals with the loss of his brother. Listen below (via Rolling Stone):
Download MP3 here. A video for the track was also made available.
