The second artist featured today from East London, unlike Vanessa Jamie though, Vula (Malinga) has been around for twenty years singing backing vocals for huge UK pop artists like Adele and Sam Smith and was a member of Basement Jaxx and also appeared on Incognito's 2016 album 'In Search Of Better Days'.
Vula was born in US to American/South African parents but raised in Hackney, London. Her full name is Nonkululekho Nomvula Malinga, a bit of a mouthful, so it's not surprising that she shortened it to Vula.
She released her debut EP 'If U Want It' in 2008 and has just released her latest solo single on 21 May 2021, having featured on a dance track with Marc Benjamin & Afrojack earlier this year 'Start Over Again'.
The current single should have across the board appeal as it's quite traditional, but also with a contemporary feel.
Another in this week's Global Soul Essential 5.
