Relyae & sadtoi [2022] - Ending [Chillhop Music]

So how would you describe this? Lo-fi, chill, jazz-hop, trip-hop are some of the terms used to describe the music of Relyae from Brooklyn, NYC. The new single "Ending" (released 2 Feb 2022) certainly has jazz elements.

Whilst I was on his Spotify profile another of his tracks popped up from a 2018 album which you will immediately recognise, as a lo-fi/reggaefied version of Evelyn King's "I'm In Love" (also posted below).

Jane Handcock [2022] - Til We Meet Again (Clean) [Def Jam]

Jane Handcock (Myariah Summers) has a new single out today "Til We Meet Again". It has a clean and an explicit version but the only one available on Spotify seems to be the explicit one. 

I'm sure I detect The Dramatics "In The Rain" being sampled and quite why Snoop Dogg features on the sleeve is anyone's guess, although she did feature on the "Snoop Dogg Presents Algorithm" album so perhaps he produced the single?

Thanks to Franklin Sinclair for the heads up on this one!

Daniel Leon [2022] - Soul On Fire [Davies Entertainment] (Full Album)

This appears to be yet another debut, this time from David Leon (although as is often the case, confusing the issue, he seems to be conflated with another artist with the same name on some DSPs).  His real name is Daniel Hogan and he's from San Antonio, TX.

His album "Soul On Fire" was released on 2 Feb 2022. It's a mixed bag but there are three nice, but quite different, tracks that stand out.

The first is a neo soul number "Good Day" featuring Duco, the next is a dancer "Find A Way" and finally "Love Tonight". I've a feeling that many will pick up on "Find A Way", as it is usually the more uptempo tunes that 'take off', we'll see!

Moonchild [2022] - Love I Need [Tru Thoughts]

Another single (the fourth so far) has been released from "Starfruit", the debut album by Moonchild which is due for release next Friday (11 Feb 2022).

"Love I Need" featuring North Carolina rapper/MC Rapsody was released on 1 Feb 2022.

The last single "Tell Him" featuring Lalah Hathaway has been well received in the UK, but I'm afraid I think the rap in this one may limit it's appeal to soulies!
