Echoes 2022 - December

Inside this final issue of 2022 you'll find our main writers' combined Albums Of The Year as they seek to highlight the very best of this year's black music, plus there are individual full-length round-ups of the year in Soul, Jazz and Reggae.

I'd like to thank the people at Easy Star and Tads for making the interviews with Hezron and SunDub happen and as always, the artists themselves for their time and patience. Run The Track is led by Samory I's Blood In The Streets and also features new releases by Buju Banton, Izy Beats, Medisun, Busy Signal, Treesha and Agent Sasco, among others, whilst Etana's Acoustic Gold is our Reggae Album Of The Month, and is closely followed by VP's Strictly The Best, XTM Nation's Fatis In The Oven Vol. 3 and The 18th Parallel's Downtown Sessions.
