Cornell C.C. Carter [2021] - Not Possible [CDC]


Cornell C.C. Carter from the Bay Area has been a favourite with the UK soul crowd since his debut solo album "In The Moment" in 2016. Since then he has released another three albums, "Vindicated Soul" 2017 (a covers album), "One Love" 2018, and "Absoulutely" 2019.

After the success of his last album "Absoulutely" (and a few 45 releases on Izipho Soul) he is releasing a new single "Not Possible" on Friday (25 Jun 2021) from a forthcoming album "Next Life" due around Sep. It will be available on CD and vinyl from Patrick Biggerstaff's Izipho Soul.  

DJ Spen (Sean Spencer) is already working on a remix of "Not Possible" scheduled for release at the end of July.

In his career, Cornell has opened for many big artists including James Brown, Ray Charles, The Temptations, Kool & The Gang, The Whispers and Natalie Cole. He is an in-demand session vocalist and vocal coach and has appeared on many albums, including recently on Santana's latest album and on several Narada Michael Walden productions.

Ginge [2021] - Belly [Gillionaires] (Full Album)


Ginge, an independent artist from Utrecht (Netherlands), released her debut EP/album "Belly" yesterday (25 Jun 2021). It contains four tracks already released as singles i.e. "Trip Down", "Stop Calling", "Knuckles & Keys" (previous two singles are with .multibeat) and "Stranger".

It's a pleasant blue-eyed, neo soul album with my standout track being "Molly" on first listen.

Her first official release was "Crawl" in Sep 2019 which is quite a nice track so, as there are not many videos available for the album tracks, I've included it below, as it always good to see the artist perform. I also found a live session with .multibeat which features a track which doesn't appear to have been released (yet) called "Be A Thing" which I think is really good. 

She's released around ten singles in total to date along with the new album.

Ginge is Renée Rijpstra who appeared in "The Voice Of Holland" season 8 in 2017/18. She is also an actress who starred in a 2018 movie "Rode Zomer", she was 21 at the time so must be 23/24 now.

UPDATE: Full version now posted here.

Raja-Nee' "Come Get This Love" , one of the top tunes this year (although originally issued on ThaSaint's album "This Is Us" last Sep), is getting a new mix from Samuel Archer due out on 2 Jul 2021. Here's a short sample until it's released and I'll also post the original below to remind you of how good it is.

This is what she's posted on her website:

"Come Get This Love” written by Richard Wilford & Raja-Nee’, produced by and featuring John ThaSaint Morris & Wilfred Frelix is still receiving airplay worldwide. However, Raja-Nee’ desired to have a remix produced and teamed up with Samuel Archer the founder of “Muzilog” an online magazine publication, focused on music, entertainment, and culture to produce a remix track that definitely has a groove that will make the novice dancer want to “Step” as they say in Chicago. "Come Get This Love (The Samuel Archer Remix)" will be available for sale on July 2, 2021."
