Wendisue [2021] - Walk Away Love [Self Released]
The daughter of Ellis Hall Jr. who was with The California Raisins and
Tower Of Power (1985-88) and released several solo albums and a few singles in
80s/90s. He did a modern version of Ed Cobb's 'Every Little Bit Hurts'
in 1982, also recorded by Gladys Knight & The Pips, Brenda Holloway and Aretha Franklin amongst many others.
This is a tremendous track, sweet n deep and so soulful - sheer quality
and highly recommended. I've not heard any of her previous material
of which there are about four prior singles an EP and an Album, so I will
be investigating those.
According to BandCamp this was released in Aug 2019, but I can't find any
reference to it other than on BandCamp. I've sent her a message asking for clarification as, if the date is correct, I wonder why it wasn't included on the latest album released 30 Jan 2020?

Tanya Nolan [2021] - Smile On My Face [ArtsessionZ]
It's like waiting for a London bus for decent new releases this week ... wait for ages and then two come along at once.
I wish there were more new releases like this one .. it's neo soul .. but
with substance and real vocals and what sound like real musicains, rather
than just beats, behind her.
For some reason it reminds me a little of O'Jays 'Backstabbers', perhaps it's just the
line 'smile in your face' ... and waiting for the next one ... 'all the time
they want to take your place'.
Tanya is from Galveston, TX and is one of few women who own a record label. She set up ArtsessionZ in Houston to release her own and other's original material. An earlier single 'No Pressure' was a Grammy contender for music and video.
There's an interview with her here.
