Stan Taylor & Raquel Rodriguez [2021] - Walk With Me [Self Released]

After a hectic start to the year with multiple singles which eventually got 'folded' into a full album "Sweet Side" in April, Raquel Rodriguez has been quiet for a few months, but is back today (9 Dec 2021) on a duet "Walk With Me" with Stan Taylor who she released an EP of sweet soul covers titled "Sunday's Best" with  in 2019.

I've also included a single from August 2020 "Brand New" as it popped up on the player and sounded pretty good, so why not?

Brasstracks [2021] - Welcome Back Era [Self Released] (Full Album)

Brasstracks are trumpeter Ivan Jackson and drummer Conor Rayne who met while studying jazz at the Manhattan School of Music, NYC. They got started by releasing their first collaborations on Soundcloud in 2014. Their first official release came in 2016 and they have gone on to deliver thirty plus singles and their fifth album "Welcome Back Era" yesterday (8 Dec 2021).

It includes their last single "Still Life" with Tori Kelly from 15 Oct. (which is probably the standout track), and a live version of it, along with another three of the seven singles released in 2021 (i.e. "Welcome Back", "Summertime 1, 2", "Good Luck For Real").

Brian Temba [2021] - It's All You [AJ8one Productions] (Full Album)

Brian Temba is a South African singer/songwriter and actor of 22 years experience who has released his fifth album "It's All You" today (9 Dec 2021).

He played the role of Simba in London west end production of The Lion King from 2003-2008.

It's a solid album throughout, with the killer track being "Olwthu" which is (unfortunately?) sung in Zulu (translates to 'ours') which might limit it's appeal.  I'm more of a melody man than lyrics so it's not a problem for me but may be to those who go for lyrics. "It's All You" is also very good along with "Hlala Nam" (translates to 'Stay With Me and released as a single in March with video below) which again has native, Xhosa, as well a English lyrics.
