CRUZ The Dame [2022] - Wanna Live / Sweet Thang [Vintage Sound Recordings]

Crystal Heimberger aka CRUZ The Dame from Atlanta,GA, released a pair of singles, "Wanna Live" and "Sweet Thang", on 7 Jul 2020 which appear to be her first releases.

I believe she also goes by the name Crystal Guidry as she is married to music executive Demmette Guidry who helped launch the careers of many prominent recording artists including Beyoncé/Destinys Child, Lauryn Hill/Fugees, Maxwell, Cypress Hill, Mary Mary, Alicia Keys, Leela James and Jaheim and several others.

Natalia Marrokin [2022] - Miles [Self Released]

Natalia Marrokin (Natalia Marroquín Polin) is from Mexico City, the second Mexican artist featured this week. She released her third single since her first in 2019 yesterday (8 Jul 2022) which I guess is best described as jazz funk. 

The intro of her latest single "Miles" (presumably a nod to Miles Davis?) sounds to me like it has similarities to Gil Scott-Heron's "Lady Day And John Coltrane" (included before for comparison).

I thought I'd check out her previous releases, the first is Spanish language, but her second "This Has Broken My Heart" is a rather pleasant self-written ballad.
