Mz'vocalz [2021] - Feel Gud Museik [Self Released]

OK you've got ten seconds to identify the sample/backing! A single released today (28 Oct 2021) by an artist calling herself Mz'vocalz who, initially guessed from writer's credits but confirmed after I found her facebook page, is Angela Foreman from Salisbury, MD.

If you haven't already figured it out "Feel Gud Museik" samples/uses backing from Michael Wycoff's "Looking Up To You" from 1982, or more likely Zhane's "Hey Mr DJ" (1994) which also samples it. It has been sampled a few more times, mainly on house/dance tracks, and covered by David Anthony as a house track in 2013 and a more faithful cover by  Blacknuss Allstars (1994).

"Looking Up To You" was written by Leon Ware and Zane Grey of Grey & Hanks.

Melba Moore [2021] - So In Love [The Gallery Ent / Orpheus Enterprises]

Only two weeks ago Melba Moore featured on a new release with Stone Foundation "Now That You Want Me Back". After fifty five years since her first release, aged 21, ("Don't Cry Sing Along with the Music" Musicor) she shows no signs of letting up as she has a new solo single "So In Love" due for release tomorrow (29 Oct 2021) from a forthcoming album "Imagine".

The single release coincides with her 76th birthday. It's a real coincidence as she was only just mentioned in the last post for Jamie & The Numbers as they covered her 1967  unreleased (until 1986) recording of "Magic Touch" when this came through!

This is a real grower, after listening to it a few times it gets under your skin, a nice steppers vibe!

Jamie & The Numbers [2021] - You Don't Love Me [Superfly Funk & Soul Records]

Oh dear, this will almost certainly have the purists wincing! Already released on 7" vinyl earlier this year, "You Don't Love Me" is a pre-released track (along with the vinyl flip "The Fugitive") from a forthcoming debut album with the same name by Jamie & The Numbers.

"You Don't Love Me" It is, of course, an anthemic Northern Soul tune originally recorded in 1968 by The Epitome Of Sound on Sandbag. This new version has an outro by the song's writer Robert Paladino.

Included on the album are a couple of other Northern Soul classics already released by New Zealanders Jamie & The Numbers as singles i.e. Precisions / Eddie Spencer "If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely)" and Bobby Fuller Four / Melba Moore's "Magic Touch". One of the album's tracks is "Shout To The Top" which I presume will be a cover of The Style Council. Another cover is The Cure's "Boys Don't Cry"

The album is set for release digitally and on 12" vinyl from BandCamp on 12 Nov 2021 via  Superfly Funk & Soul Records.

Whilst we are here, a previously unreleased original mix of The Epitome Of Sound was released by Light Of Love in 2016.
