I've been through many new releases over the last few weeks and this stands head and shoulders above most of them. It's a new entry into the UK Soul chart this week at #21 (and is featured in that post) but I thought that this track (and 2 others from his forthcoming album) warranted it's own post just to highlight how good it is.
Myles Sanko was born in Ghana and has been dubbed as 'the lovechild of soul music'

To me, this sounds like a blend of Bill Withers and Gregory Porter with perhaps a hint of Terry Callier. It just builds and builds with a sophisticated mixture of soul and jazz. It's from his forthcoming album 'Memories Of Love' due out on 12 March 2021, from which he's also already released two other singles which I've linked to below. 'Memories' will be his fourth album since his debut 'Born In Black & White' 2013, 'Forever Dreaming' in 2014 and 'Just Being Me' 2016. (NB links to playlists for full albums).
The album is available for pre-order in limited edition gatefold vinyl or CD and digital on his website.

Rainbow In My Cloud
HIs previous release from 6 Nov 2020 which is also from his forthcoming album and was a UK Soul chart entry in Dec 2020.

Freedom Is You
Featured on the new Luxury Soul Family 2021 compilation.

Forever Dreaming
As a bonus, here's a track with a bit of a Northern Soul feel which is the title track of his 2014 sophomore album.
If you've liked what you've heard above then there are a few more clips (some live) on ElectricChair. I'll certainly be checking out his back catalogue.
