IshMaleSings [2022] - What Can We Do? [Self Released] VIDEO

A little teaser for a new 13 track album "A Heart's Journey" by IshMaleSings with a video for "What Can We Do?" which features H20-Flow. If this isn't a future classic then I don't know what is!

I received the full album today, but as it's being released tomorrow on DSPs will wait to post from Spotify (along with further info) so the artist receives streaming fees.

John Runefelt [2022] - The Big Aisle [Epidemic Sound]

This pair of instrumentals "The Big Aisle / The Sunny Side Of The Beat" grabbed my ear as did another couple that Swedish producer John Runefelt did back in March "Back At It / Getting Frisky" which all have a 60s/70s throwback sound.
