Ego Ella May [2021] - FIELDNOTES [Tru Thoughts] (Full EP)

Ego Ella May last appeared on the blog in Jul with her last album "Honey For Wounds" (Deluxe Edition) of her 2020 album. Her first release since them is this four track EP "FIELDNOTES" released last Friday (15 Oct 2021).

She's is from South London and yet another artist signed to Brighton's Tru Thoughts label. In 2020 she won a Mobo Award for Best Jazz Act, so needless to say that this is neo soul on the jazzy side. She's very much in the Eryka Badu school of neo soul.

Eric Roberson Feat. Anthony Hamilton, Raheem DeVaughn & Kevin Ross [2021] - Lessons (Remix) [Self Released]

It's London bus time again ... a remix of one of my favourite tunes of the year gets serviced to me this morning in the form of Eugene Cole posted earlier today, and then comes another! This time from not just one of the best male indie soul artists around but four.  Eric Roberson recruits the services of not only Anthony Hamilton, but also Raheem DeVaughn & Kevin Ross on a remix of  the wonderful "Lessons" released tomorrow (22 Oct 2021).

I'll also take the opportunity of posting a live video recorded recently in August at the City Winery, Chicago, by Jackie Roberson, his wife?. If you do nothing else, please skip to 4:20 and listen how 'brutal' the music business can be!

Alter Shiino & Deja Nicole [2021] - Disillusion (F O R T U N E LP) [Team8]

The only track of interest from a mainly hip-hop album "F O R T U N E" by Alter Shino is "Disillusion" which features Deja Nicole. 

Some may like "Lust" which is the new single and possibly "Highspeed" or "Better Views". I was only going to post "Disillusion" and leave a link to the full album but may as well post the full album and you can choose your own tracks.

Alter Shiino is Shiino Langston from Newport News, VA.

Johnny Kulo [2021] - Desire [Self Released] (Full EP)

Johnny Kulo is a singer, songwriter, producer and multi-Instrumentalist from Berlin who debuted in 2018. Today (21 Oct 2021) he has released a five track EP "Desire" which includes his latest single "Wrong" release on 23 Sep 2021.

Nothing 'immediately' jumps out at me as they all have a similar appeal as each time I listen I choose a different track so I'll let you choose your own favourite(s). Certainly a 'grower' after a few listens I would think.  A blend of jazz, funk and soul.
