Soul Strutter: 06/15/21

The fifth single ("Return/WAR" were issued together) drip-fed today (15 Jun 2021) from the forthcoming album "Sgt Pepper" from Joel Culpepper which is due 23 Jul 2021. I've featured three of them already on a post in March.

Joel Culpepper is from South-East London and debuted in 2009 with a mixtape "The Adventures Of Pensmith" and has his own style, which, whilst soulful, it leans towards pop end of the scale. His earlier single "Thought About You" certainly has Prince influences evident. The latest single reminds me of Seal.
