BC Deville Feat. Ronit Boyd [2021] - Sumthin (Magic Box LP) [Self Released]

What looks like a debut release from BC Deville from Long Beach, CA. "Magic Box" is a fourteen track album released on 13 Aug 2021.

There is only really one track of interest "Somethin" which features Ronit Boyd, although "For You", "Sugar", "Feels So Right" are worth a listen perhaps.

I can find no info about the artist or any social media.

SoulStrutter Top 20 - 17th Aug 2021

The third instalment of the SoulStrutter Top 20 of the most viewed posts in 30 days (i.e. blog readers choices not mine!).

For some bizarre reason the 'pesky' First Wives Club compilation is still consistently topping both the 7 & 30 day list (as it must be an anomaly I've removed it!), Sex On Toast 2015 single (posted on 10 Aug) is receiving a considerable number of views (it is at the top of the 7 day list at the moment)! Another strange one is the entry of Jim White after being posted 29 days ago and Trenice still hanging on after 50 days!

Jali [2021] - Kountry Love [Self Released]

JaLi (Jamie T. Kennell) was born in Columbus, GA and raised in Phenix City, AL. He has been with a couple of groups, "Uncut" who disbanded after about a year and he then was signed to Interscope and joined with Red-Dirt in 2007.

His solo debut release came in 2008 with a single "Come Ova". Since then he has had sporadic releases with three singles coming in 2013, 2017 and 2019, but this year he has released three singles. The latest "Kountry Love" was delivered on 12 Aug 2021 which, for me, is easily his best to date, although "Holdin U" from 2013 is quite good and "Come Ova" is not bad either. Southern soul lovers may appreciate his other releases.

He has an album called "Heart Felt" which only seems to be available on BandCamp. released in 2011.

Lacee [2021] - Kush Kush

Not really my kinda thing but I know many appreciate this kind of earthy, bluesy southern soul. A single from Lacee (Lacy Yvonne Reed from Memphis) titled "Kush Kush" (I can only imagine what that is!!) will be available on 31 Aug 2021.

Charity Jai [2021] - Finer Things [Self Released]

Charity Jai (Kassa) from Atlanta released a new single "Finer Things" on 10 Aug 2021. It has a southern soul style 'swagger.

I believe she debuted last year with a song called "Waiting On You" (video below). She also appeared as a featured singer on a single "Don't Go Back" with Jmeel & Tjhari in July.

Cheyenne Elliott [2021] - Sugarcane [CDE Entertainment]

Cheyenne Elliott may be a new name but she is the daughter of David Elliott who in turn is the son of Dionne Warwick (who married drummer William Elliott) making her the granddaughter and cousin (Whitney Houston) of  legends (and that's not including other family members Dee Dee Warwick and Cissy Houston) so 'no pressure'!

She featured on her gran's 2008 album "My Friends & Me" aged 8 on a track "Love Will Find A Way". She also appeared in a US talent show "The Four" in 2018.

Her first' proper' release "Sugarcane" came out today (17 Aug 2021). Big shoes to fill, but her voice has such clarity. I'm not sure about the song, but her delivery is excellent.

I've also posted a video of her dad and gran singing "I Say A Little Prayer" live.
