Sherree Patrice [2022] - The Heartbrache [Self Released]


The new single from Sherree Patrice "The Heartbrache" will be available on 1 Apr 2022 but you can also buy it now direct from her website

She started out recording in the 90s as Sherree Ford and, presumably after marrying, became Sherree Ford-Payne and then Sherree Brown (which was a bit confusing as there is another artist named Sheree Brown) and is now known as Sherree Patrice (Discogs names her as Sherree Patrice Ford Payne). 

You may be forgiven for perhaps not knowing her name as she has spent the large part of her career writing and performing background vocals for many legendary artists including Nancy Wilson, Al Jarreau and Whitney Houston, a well as touring with Chaka Khan and Mariah Carey to name just a few of the soul-related ones as well as Celine Dion, Carlos Santana and CeCe Winans. A quick glance at her discography on her website is mind boggling to see which artists she's performed and recorded with.

A few of her singles released last year were posted HERE.

Joe Leavy [2022] - Love Me 2 My Soul [Self Released] PROMO


Joe Leavy had a #1 hit on the UK soul charts in 2020 with "Inside You" (video and two versions posted below) and releases his first single since then "Love Me 2 My Soul" on Friday (25 Mar 2022). Both tracks will be included on his forthcoming album "Soul Fire" due in May.

Joe is from San Diego and worked overseas for over 10 years playing R&B, pop and jazz nightly in clubs throughout east Asia and Japan. He returned to the US for family reasons where he performed in Las Vegas. After a while he got burnt out and moved to California and left music to set up a construction company for a lifestyle more conducive to focusing on his family.

However, he couldn't completely put music aside and he wrote "It's About Time" in 2012 which led to an album "A Guy Named Joe Leavy" which gave him the opportunity to create and sing his own music.

Davante Devaughn [2022] - Loveline [Sound Gems Records]


Frank Fioravanti's Sound Gems Records has released six singles by Davante Devaughn this month. The latest is "Loveline" which I believe is an original song, I certainly don't recognise it as a cover but if you know otherwise then please leave a comment.

The others I will post separately. The first is another William DeVaughn cover of "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" released  14 Mar, followed by "A Good Imitation Of Love" on 17 Mar, which was a song recorded by The Micheal M Project in 2020, and another released today is a remix of "Be Thankful For What You've Got" which will the third version he has recorded of the song. 

The other two have already been posted i.e. "Be Thankful For What You've Got (Radio Edit)" (7 Mar) and "Creme De Creme" (3 Mar).

Davante Devaughn [2022] - Blood Is Thicker Than Water [Sound Gems Records]


Another William DeVaughn cover version of "Blood Is Thicker Than Water" by his namesake Davante Devaughn was released on 14 Mar 2022. It was the follow up single to "Be Thankful For For What You've Got" in 1974 which Frank Fioravanti (Sound Gems Records) produced. The full album version was split into parts 1 & 2 for the single release.

If Frank views this post then how about considering a cover of "Give The Little Man A Great Big Hand"?
