The only soulful track on a new EP from Spechal, (Paylor) "Year Of The Butterfly", (released 26 May 2021) the rest being R&B, although "Want It All" is probably the pick of the other tracks.

It looks like her debut EP, having previously released two singles in 2019 & 2020.

Hassan Farrow [2021] - So In Love [Herb Harris Music Co] (Full Album)


There is so much good music coming out at the moment it's hard keeping up! This one was released over a week ago on 21 May 2021. The title track from this album is a killer - a timeless, soulful ballad/stepper featuring Lena Soul. Other standout tracks include "I'll Do Anything", another soulful ballad/stepper and "Sympathy". Having said that, it looks like he's gone with "Shelter" as the lead single, which IMHO is nowhere near as good as the aforementioned tracks, but I guess it's more 'contemporary'.

Wil Key [2021] - Globetrotter: B [Larimar Records] (Full Album)


A terrific new album from Wil Key with many guest artists was released 28 May 2021.

I haven't had a chance to listen to it in full properly as yet, but on first skim through there are plenty of tasty cuts and I didn't detect a 'duffer' with the title track featuring Sy Smith, probably the pick of the bunch on first listen. This has to be a contender for album of the week in the coming week!

It's a bit 'pricey' though, £14.85 for 15 tracks. In comparison, Mississippi Humminboy's album is 16 tracks for £7.99!

I posted "Another Day In Paradise" a couple of weeks ago which hasn't 'registered' as yet!
