Steve Stickz Heyliger [2021] - The Midlander [StickznStonz]


Released 19 Feb 2021, a new album from Steve Stickz Heyliger titled 'The Midlander', which suggests to me that he's from UK, and indeed, I've discovered that he's from Nottingham from a bio here.

He hit the UK charts in 2000 (#23) with Monsta Boy on a garage track called 'Sorry' and was heavily involved in the reggae scene in the 80s with his own sound system 'Tumblah Entertainment Express'.

This is a good set and, on first listen, the standout tracks include:
I Tried My Best  [3B/103] - a soul ballad on which he reminds me of Johnny Guitar Watson.
Mind Body And Soul  [3B/116] - another mellow soul ballad
So Glad You're In My Life  [9B/80] - a two stepper
The most 'instant' tune, for me, which probably ought to have been the first single, is 'Something In You' which is a mellow stepper (posted below), but it looks like he's gone with 'Living For You' [8B/81].
