EriJanae [2021] - Hoe Energy (Genesis LP) [Self Release]

The only remotely soulful track from a debut album 'Genesis' released 16 May 2021 by an artist named EriJanae, who I believe is from Nashville. The rest of album is 'explicit' R&B/hip-hop ... so you know what to expect!

I'm afraid I've been scraping the barrel today of the remnants of last week's releases before the latest new releases escape tomorrow.

Soul Supreme [2021] - Umi Says [Star Creature Universal Vibrations]

Yet another artist from The Netherlands! DJ/Producer Soul Supreme who is Noam Ofir originally from Tel Aviv, now based in Amsterdam. He released his first single in 2018 as 'Love's High'.

This track is an instrumental cover of the Mos Def song and is technically a reissue (or first time on digital) as it was released as a B side in 2019 to 'The Message' (a cover of Grandmaster Flash) on 7" which must be quite in demand as they are selling on Discogs for between £50-£70.

There's a recent (21 Mar 2021) interview with him on Nostalgia King if you wish to discover more about him.
