Alaya [2021] - Thinkin' Bout You [Fifty Deuce Records]

A new, what looks like a debut, single "Thinkin' Bout You" from Alaya Starks (aka Gerae) was released today (18 Nov 2021). I think it was also released on 1 Oct (which might be a slightly different version) so it looks like she's having another go with it, and quite rightly as this is a very nice neo soul, bordering R&B, ballad.

She also goes under the name Alaya Gerae and has a YouTube channel with some live covers. The owner of Fifty Deuce Records is Aaron Starks so perhaps they are married?

A D-Nice remix of Teddy Pendergrass' 1977 Philly classic "The More I Get, The More I Want" was released yesterday (17 Nov 2021) with vocal and instrumental versions.

I've also dug out a video of Teddy P performing (lip-synching) it on Soul Train back in the day.

It was originally released as the B side to "The Whole Town's Laughing At Me", in the US and the B Side to "Somebody Told Me" in the UK,  all tracks taken from his debut solo self-titled album.
