Rugawd collaborates with NDO on a new single "I Hate My Job" released 21 Jul 2021.
Rugawd is a bass player from Tampa, FL. who's released a couple of albums and half a dozen singles since 2019.
We came across NDO a few months back (Feb) when she featured on German DJ/producer S.Fidelity's single "Mixed Signals". She's also appeared on two other singles with Rugwad ("Something" and "LA") and mainly features as a guest artist but did release her own album/EP "IDC" in 2019.

The latest release from New Jersey producer Regi Myrix which features NexXxuP (who I can find nothing about so presume it must be them on the sleeve) called "Remain Friends". It is just over a week old now, released 17 Jul 2021. I couldn't find it anywhere when I previously looked for it (which was probably just before release).

"Oh How I'm Missing You" is the second release this year, and her sixth since 2016, from BflyLadyDi (Diane Trivelli) who appears to be under the wing of Vince Broomfield
(Audio) who wrote and produced all her singles.
Her last single "Live Life To The Fullest", released at the end of January, did well on some charts. I think the
latest single is a much better effort.
Diane is the founder of the Arielle Anacker Cancer Foundation, named
after her only daughter Arielle who passed away from bone cancer aged
just eleven!
Her very first song is "Just Never Give Up (The Cancer Fight Song)"
which began her musical journey.
She reached out to ask that I would post a video of the song to share
with anyone with cancer who might need hope and encouragement! It is my
honour to do so. Please share with anyone you may feel may benefit.
The Cool-Notes released a reworking of their biggest hit "Spend The Night" (UK #11 in 1985) recently and hot on the heels of the success of that
release they have another reworking, this time of their second single
(as a soul group as previously they were a reggae/lovers rock band) and
first hit from 1984 "You're Never Too Young" which just missed out on the
top 40 (#42).
There are three mixes, George B Remix short (4:57) and extended (5:38)
and my preferred mix the Steve Mac Mellow Mix, named 'mellow' as it uses
the back beat from Lowrell's 1979 classic "Mellow Mellow Right On" (I
bet he's making some royalties from the use of that song!).
Steve Mac is original band member Steve McIntosh who still keeps the band
alive with another original member Heather Haywood (Austin/Austyn). The
group was founded in Brixton, London in the late 70s, they released
their first reggae single in 1977. They were originally a seven-piece band which included Steve's wife, Lorraine McIntosh
The tracks only seem to be available currently on their official website,

I've also included some rare footage of them performing the original in 1984 from their YT channel.

A new six track EP "Summer Bounce" from Don-E drops on Friday (30 Jul 2021). I believe
that it will only be available via BandCamp.
It's a bit of a mixed bag so I'll only post the relevant tracks, as one
is a cover of Bob Marley's "Stir It Up" which features Hil St. Soul), another titled "Nu Calyp-Soul" says it all, however the other four tracks are pretty good with "One Time Is Not Enough", which sounds like it samples Teddy P. Love TKO, probably being the best
cut.
Don-E (aka Donald McLean) from Brixton, London, hit the UK charts (#18) in 1992 with "Love Makes The World Go Round" on Island subsidiary 4th & Broadway when he was only 19. He's released around eight albums since his debut "Unbreakable" in 1992.
