Audrey V. [2021] - ElevenFiftyTwo [Self Released] (Full EP)

Audrey V.'s (Audrey Valentine from Chicago) last release was an EP "December" released in Jan 2021. She's back with, what she is referring to as, her third EP "ElevenFiftyTwo" released 20 Oct 2021, even though it has eight tracks.

It includes an 'interesting' sample of Anita Baker's "Angel", apart from that the only other tracks that got my attention were "Slow" and "Reflections (Outro)".

Pretty Princess [2021] - All About Me [De'ken Management Productions]

A single released today by Pretty Princess "All About Me" who I'm almost certain isn't the same artist as the other releases it's lumped with on DSPs although, with her name, I can't find any info about her but the other group is four white girls who released material in 2014/15.

It got it's first UK radio airing on Franklin Sinclair's The Music Hour on Global Soul Radio this evening (courtesy of SoulStrutter) and received a good reception.

Siloam Pool [2021] - Simple Complexity [Self Released]

A debut album from Siloam Pool from Detroit, MI, titled "Simple Complexity" was released today (29 Oct 2021). Siloam is Tammy Louise Jackson who is credited on all songs along with other co-writers, however, Siloam Pool (or SiloamPool) is actually the name of the group. Tammy now officially goes by the name Siloam. 

So how did the name come about? Siloam (pronounced “Sil-ōm”) means “sending forth or sent”, John 9:7.  The “Pool” a collective of creators and listeners sharing a compelling synergy.

She released singles included on the album "Til The Day" (2017) and "7 Days" (2019) featuring jazz saxophonist Dave McMurray and EP "Colors of Black & White" in 2001 (still listed on US Amazon) and a live video performance of it below. 

It would seem that she is going with "Let It Go" as the lead single as she has sent that track to radio stations for promotion, but other standouts include "My New Friend", "Warrior", "Circle Of Life" on first listen but you can tell it's a quality and well produced album throughout.

Saint Jaimz Feat. Tony Mosley [2021] - Then Came You [Household Name Entertainment]

One that seems to have been overlooked last week from Saint Jaimz (Stanley James Burton) from Sacremento, CA who released a batch of singles in August. He has done the same again last week releasing four singles all on the same day. One of the best is the ballad "Then Came You", which features Tony Mosley, released last Friday (22 Oct 2021).

It's far too good a tune to be overlooked!
