ZimkithA [2021] - By The Door [Self Released]


ZimkithA Kumbaca is a singer, songwriter, actor from King William’s Town, South Africa. She appears to have debuted in Nov 2017 with a couple of singles and her latest "By The Door" (26 Oct 20211) is her sixth to date.

It sounds like it's sung in a mixture of English and her native tongue which I assume to be Xhosa?

Ryuto Kasahara [2021] - Luck & Peace [Arigatarecord] (Full Album)


As will become evident, if not already from his name, when you listen to the album, Ryuto Kasahara is Japanese, as most, if not all, songs are sung in Japanese but have 'good vibes'.

I can't find much info about him but he seems to have been around since 2015 and has become more prominent in the last year.

His latest album "Luck & Peace" was released on 6 Oct 2021.
