Reel People Feat. Vanessa Freeman [2022] - The Light (4Phlash Rework) [Reel People Music]

A special reworking of "The Light" originally released in 2004 taken from the debut album "Second Guess" is out on Friday (16 Aug 2022) by Reel People featuring Vanessa Freeman. It is in honour of the bands friend, the late Phil Asher who passed in Jan 2021 aged 55.

Reel People say that without Phil there definitely would of have been no Reel People as he was integral in introducing all 3 key members, Oli Lazarus, Mike Patto and Toni Economides.

It comes with six different mixes and is available on Bandcamp now and no doubt will be on the other DSPs on Friday.

An Intimate Evening with Lindsey Webster @ The Maude, Leek 19 Nov 2022

soulandjazz.com and Maude Music present 'An Intimate Evening with Lindsey Webster" at The Maude, Clerk Bank, Leek, Staffordshire ST13 5HB, 19 Nov 2022 doors open 7pm for 8pm start.

Tickers available HERE (only £15 + £1.50 booking fee) Note the capacity is only 210 so buy your tickets early.

From the first note, Lindsey Webster captivates listeners. Her rich, soulful voice enchants a dedicated following who connect with the raw emotion she shares with them. As a Soul R&B artist, she combines an admirable natural talent with a genuine, accessible stage presence.

The release of Lindsey’s sixth full-length studio album, "Reasons" (due on 9 Sep 2022), contains great songwriting and amazing musical performances, featuring the likes of veteran music industry A-listers Nathan East, Randy Brecker, Brian Culbtertson, and Nicolas Payton. 

Here’s a word from Lindsey on her latest release: "I don't know how, but it seems that with each album we get better than the last," she explains, humbly. "I feel that "Reasons" is our strongest album from a production standpoint so far. And the fact that Keith and I have worked together meticulously since day one has really helped give our sound its uninhibited originality". The album will be the sixth one produced by Lindsey Webster and Keith Slattery.

Charlie Bereal [2022] - Oo Baby [Berealent]

In a very similar vein to Thee Sacred Souls posted earlier, this sounds like the sort of retro sweet soul tune that gets issued by the likes of Colemine and similar retro vinyl labels.

It's actually a self-release from Charlie Bereal who is an established Grammy award winning writer/producer/arranger who started out with a nine-piece gospel group The Soul Seekers. 

He has written songs recorded by Mary Mary, Deborah Cox, Tweet, Mya, R Kelly, Kelly Rowland,  Raphael Saadiq,  Jamie Foxx, Leela James and even Whitney Houston. He's also worked with Queen Latifah, Tank, Missy Elliot, Madonna and many others.

Since 2015 he's released around seven solo singles and two albums. The latest single being a retro sweet soul tune "Oh Baby" released on 22 Aug 2022. This is right in the early 70s Chi-Lites / Stylistics / Delfonics / Main Ingredient mould.

I've had some of his earlier material playing in background whilst writing this post and it is well worth checking out if, like me, you are unfamiliar with his material.

Atara [2022] - WDYK [Royal Entertainment]

A short 'n' sweet debut single "WDYK" (what do you know) from Atara Romero-Wilson which is blend of old and new school. I 'suspect' it may be sample based but don't recognise the song used.

Onyx [2022] - Roll Up [Self Released] (Full Album)

A debut album from Onyx, an artist who only released a debut single "Silhouette" on 2 Jul 2022. Since then she's released two further singles "Mistreated" and  "Never Love Again" both on 3 Jul. The first two singles feature on her debut album "Roll Up" released 11 Aug 2022. The last single "Never Love Again" also features but has been re-titled to "Don't Wanna Fall In Love".

Given that all the album's tracks were written by Lailah Albert then would have to assume that is her real name. With such a new artist information is scant to non-existent but have discovered that she's from Detroit.

Nearly all the tracks are explicit and the one that stood out for me is "Don't Wanna Fall In Love". "Mistreated" has got a bit of a 90s style bounce about it. I think its' fair to say that the best three tacks are those released as singles. I quite liked the opening track which is what drew me into listening to the full album but it goes astray after a minute with rap and expletives but should have worked that out from the title "Ain't Shit Chronicles".
