Kendra Morris & Eraserhood Sound [2021] - Catch The Sun / When We Would Ride [Karma Chief Records]


Colemine have just released a double-sider from Kendra Morris & Eraserhood Sound on their Karma Chief subsidiary on 7 Sep 2021.

The two tracks are "Catch The Sun" and "When We Would Ride" which are both hard to define, sort of retro rock/soul, with the latter sounding a bit like Laura Rain in places.

Slinkie [2021] - Talk About Us [Phunkin Phantastic]


Slinkie appear to be Denise Stewart, Ben Newton, Jamie Honhold, Magnus Fritz, Paul Weimar and Tony Wilsonham. Ben Newton and Tony Wilsonham own Phunkin Phantastic a UK company set up in Nov 2020, so this looks like a UK band. 

This is their first single "Talk About Us" released on 3 Sep 2021.

I don't know whether Denise Stewart is the same artist from Chicago who released a CD "Decide On Me" on Expansion in 2001? It sounds like it could be.

The Shindellas [2021] - Feeling The Pain [Weirdo Workshop]


The Shindellas have featured a few times this year already with their last two singles "Volcano Love" (Jun) and "When You're Lonely" (Jul). Prior to the release of their debut album "Hits That Stick Like Grits" on 12 Sep they have released another single "Feeling The Pain"  on 5 Sep 2021.

It's a real 60s throwback sound with glorious harmonies from Kasi Jones, Stacy Johnson and Tamara Chauniece. Once again written and produced by duo Louis York (Claude Kelly & Chuck Harmony) and released on their Weirdo Workshop logo.

I can find no track listing yet for the new album and hope that there is plenty of new material and it's not just a collection of predominantly previous singles.

Only a trailer video is currently available until the album release on Sunday.

Evan Fuerst [2021] - If I Can Have You [ALLN Records]


A hauntingly soulful ballad from a new name to me Evan Fuerst from Hollywood, Florida who released three singles and two EPs last year along with a debut album "Capital Vibes". A lot of his previous material is R&B/Hip-Hop. " If I Can Have You" was released on 1 Sep 2021 which is his first single this year.

I'm struggling to find any more information about him as, although you would think Evan Fuerst is not a common name, there is a basketball player, an actor and several others with the same name which come up on searches.

1Farshad [2021] - Only U (Original Mix) [Drunk Girls Music]


A bit of an 70s/80s throwback tune from Iranian producer (Tehran) 1Farhad who has a lot of material released dating back to 2019. "Only U" was  released on 20 Aug 2021.

It reminds me of Average White Band / Doobie Brothers for some reason as it sort of sits in that yacht soul category!

Vince Broomfield [2021] - Let's Go Crash A Party [Self Released]


The latest offering from 80s Miami veteran Vince Broomfield is "Let's Go Crash A Party" released on Friday (3 Sep 2021). From the title you can guess that it's going to be a dance number. It has an 80s feel.
