Nadine El Roubi [2022] - Honey Butter [Shlonak Records] Fri

Nadine El Roubi is from Sudan, now based in Egypt, and has been releasing music since 2018. Her new single "Honey Butter", out today, is her tenth single and she has a forthcoming EP, "Triplicity", due in Oct 2022 to add to "Freestyles Pt. 1" which she released on 30 Jul .

It does make me smile now that we even have non-native English speaking artists 'cussing' in new music! What's that all about, to give it 'authenticity' I suppose?

Nubiyan Twist [2022] - Through The Noise (Chant #2) [Decca]

You may recall a single by Ego Ella May a couple of months back with her version of Chico Hamilton's "Morning Side Of Love". Well that was one of the first tracks pre-released from a forthcoming compilation "Blue Note Re:Imagined II" which is due for release on 30 Sep 2022.

Last Friday another track, "Through The Noise (Chant #2)" was set loose from Nubiyan Twist which is their take on Donald Byrd's "Chant" (written by Duke Pearson) originally from "A New Perspective" in 1963 but he re-recorded it as the title track for a 1979 Blue Note album.

Nubiyan Twist is an Afro-Jazz collective from Leeds and London led by Tom Excell. They have added lyrics and given the original be bop classic some broken beats and afro rhythms.

Jade Novah [2022] - Trip [Let There Be Art]

L.A.'s Jade Novah has another new single out today, "Trip" which follows "Rollercoaster" with Kenyon Dixon just over a month ago on 1 Jul 2020. I'm afraid I'm still waiting for her to match the 'niceness' of "I Just Wanna Know" from last October.

The new single is from a forthcoming six track EP "Moon In Pisces" due on 26 Aug 2022, which includes her last four single along with two new songs.
