Sunni Colón [2021] - Provide [Tetsu Recordings]

Sunni Colón (Thierry Tetsu) is an artist/producer from Los Angeles who has been releasing singles since 2015. His latest single 'Provide' was released yesterday (9 Apr 2021).

I've not come across him before, but if this is a good example of his work then I'll be checking out his back catalogue and watching out for future releases.

It's got a summery jazz vibe about it. Recommended if you like your soul smooth with a hint of jazz.

NOTE be wary if trying to access his website as it may have been hacked as it asks you to install a browser extension, so I gave it a wide berth!

Plutonic Lab Feat. Natalie Slade [2021] - Good Thing [Low Key Source]

More good vibes coming from Oz! Plutonic Lab (or Pluto) (real name Leigh Ryan) is an award winning Australian (Melbourne) producer, engineer, artist & performer who has been active since 1995 releasing ten albums. 

He and Natalie Star are also a soul/pop duo 'SoundsLike FRANCO' and Pluto is also with Canadian/Australian rap group “SHWING” with BBRC members Roshin & Bronze and tour tour drummer for Hilltop Hoods.

He is well established 'down under' and internationally.

The new single 'Good Thing'  (released 26 Mar 2021) is from a forthcoming EP 'New Ruins'.

I really like this one, it gets under your skin, soulful beats rather than soul, but a great vibe.

The Teskey Brothers [2021] - Never Tear Us Apart [Decca]

A blue-eyed, soul ballad from The Teskey Brothers who are a blues/rock band from Melbourne formed in 2008 by Josh & Sam Teskey.  To date they have released two studio albums and a live album. The new single was released 9 Apr 2021.

'Never Tear Us Apart' was a #24 UK pop hit in 1986 for INXS and was on their 1987 album  'Kick'.

The Teskey Brothers version has a real Stax/southern soul flavour sounding like it is right out of Muscle Shoals. It is nothing like the INXS version.

There's another live version recorded New Years Eve 2020.

Raheem DeVaughn & Apollo Brown [2021] - When A Man [Mello Music Group]

Raheem DeVaughan is a busy boy! Having just released a new, 70s retro, video for a track from his last album released Nov 2020 ('Marvin Used To Say'), and riding high on UK Soul chart with his collaboration with Reel People on 'Deja Vu', he is now working on a new album with Apollo Brown, 'Lovesick', due for release 4 Jun 2021. As a teaser, a single from it, 'When A Man', was released yesterday (8 Apr 2021).

It's a good blend of old and new, a contemporary sound with a retro feel, which should appeal to a broad spectrum of listeners.

I've got a sneaky feeling that artists may well be taking notice of the success of Silk Sonic, so hopefully we'll get a move away from the same old, same old, auto-tuned R&B to a new flava ... as music styles always seem to change at the turn of the decade.
