Janelle Wisdom Athis [2022] - Seal of Fire [Self Released] (Full EP)


Yet another new is artist Janelle Wisdom Athis (from North Miami, FL) who has released a debut five track, self-written and self-released EP "Seal of Fire" on 17 Aug 2022.

It's a mellow neo soul affair with the standout track, for me, being the opening track "sweet fruit and palm trees".

Carlie Free [2022] - FREEFORM [Self Released] (Full Album)


Carlie Free (aka Carlie Nixon) is a brand new artist from New Jersey who released her first single, "Tranquil", on Tuesday (23 Aug 2022) and followed it up with a full album "FREEFORM" the following day which includes her single.

All songs are self-written with the second track "I Do" being yet another that uses The Ambassadors' sample from "I Really Love You" (Arctic 1969) which was used by Morgan Munroe on her recent UK chart topping hit "Mutual" as well as Akori "It's Hot In Here", Lion Babe "Home", Charli Dahni "Stay Or Go" and probably many others.

It's a pretty good debut with at least three tracks I fully expect to get plays: the opening track "Just Like That", "I Do" and "Pisces New Moon 22"" being the one's I'd choose.

Needless to say, with such a new artist, I can find no information for her.

Jamison Ross [2022] - Jamo [Affective Music] (Full Album Samples)


The new album from Jamison Ross,  following his highly successful recent single "Tell Me You Love Me" (a SoulStrutter Selection of the Week Wk 27 and Global Soul Chart #1), is "Jamo" due for release on 12 Sep 2022.

The album features a few high profile guests: Avery*Sunshine (currently topping the Global Soul Chart with her album "Four Songs & a Bootleg") on "One Day At A Time", PJ Morton on "More Trouble" and Tarriona 'Tank' Ball (Tank & The Bangas) on "Freedom Ain't Easy". Ross featured on Tank & The Bangas last album "Red Balloon" on "Cafe Du Monde".

On first listen my choice cuts are (obviously) the lead single "Tell Me You Love Me" but from the new songs "One Day At A Time" with Avery*Sunshine and "Stay In The Moment" are the main ones that stand out.

Paul Mac Innes [2022] - Falling by the Wayside [LRK Records]


Received on promo from LRK Records earlier this week (who are planning to release it on limited edition 7" vinyl but date TBC owing to pressing plant backlogs) but also self-released digitally last Friday (19 Aug 2022) is a new single  "Falling by the Wayside" from Gothenburg's Paul Mac Innes.

The 60s Motown inspired song (with distinct hints of the bassline to "You Can't Hurry Love") was written with producer Mattias Axelsson pre-pandemic and put on hold but he has been singing it at live performances and has now decided to release it as a single.

The single is available digitally on the main DSPs and also on LRK Records bandcamp store which I'd urge you to use rather than the main DSPs if you decide to purchase to support independents.

Some endorsements Paul has received:

"Paul has one of those voices that is undeniable. A Soulful hug that wraps the listeners ears and takes you with him where ever his voice leads. I hope he gets the support that he deserves to take his music around the world. There's a lot of things you can do today to make people sound like they can sing, but when you hear the real thing there's no comparison."
 Justin Stanley - producer/engineer (Prince, Eric Clapton, Nikka Costa, Jamie Lidell)

"If there is a lineage of soulful voices that runs from Otis Redding through to Al Green and on to Terrence Trent Darby, then surely it would be right to say that Paul Mac Innes and his warm and beautifully textured voice is a powerful representative of that line."
Ola Onabule, Artist

Gianna Alessi [2022] - Lover For The Week [Self Released]


NYC raised Gianna Alessi from the age of nine received voice lessons from her former Metropolitan Opera soprano grandmother. Little wonder then that she later studied at The Boston Conservatory at Berklee School of Music.

Her vocal range has been described as "soulful and retro-dipped" with her sound drawing influences from funk, jazz and soul, and fusing retro elements with modern production.

On 10 Aug 2002 she released her seventh single "Love For The Weekend". which has an ethereal neo soul vibe with the odd hint of jazz.
