Stefan Mahendra [2021] - Alright / Loving You Is Easy [Nurtured Idea]

A couple of tracks from a new artist who emerged last year. He's just released his second single following his debut in Nov 2020.  

I've got a feeling he was on one of the UK talent shows as seem to recall him being asked to split from his band Brown Sugar and he refused but may be confusing him with somone else.  Further research shows that he was in The Voice in 2019 and chosen by Olly Murs but was eliminated in the knock-outs. He's from Bromley in Kent.

UPDATE: found The Voice clip I was thinking of.

Alright

Released 19 Jan 2021. This is a mellow and soulful ballad. This guy's got a really nice tone to his voice. This kind of material is timeless, it's got hints of jazz with horns laid subtly underneath a lilting slow two-step beat.

Loving You Is Easy

Released 17 Non 2020. Another mellow blue-eyed stepper.
