Paris Jordan [2022] - Strivin' [Pattypoohproductions]


Received on promo on Saturday is what appears to be a debut single titled "Strivin" by Paris Jordan but no information was provided. It was actually released on 30 Sep 2022 and seems to be the artist's only release. A bit of digging revealed that she is a nurse from Philadelphia and claims to be Patti LaBelle's #1 fan, hence, presumably, the Pattypooproductions named label?

The song has more than a nod to Keni Burke's "Risin' To To Top" methinks? Spotify only credits Jordan for writing but there is a video for it on YouTube which credits  Paris Jordan, Justin Miller, Hale' B and Ashley Parrott.

Lily Massie Feat. Marzz & Amari Noelle [2022] - Lose (Remix) [Moon Garden Records]


The second remix of the day. This time from Lily Massie with "Lose" which was released in May. This time out it features Marzz & Amari Noelle.

The key and tempo are the same and it sounds pretty similar but is about 30 seconds longer and presumably her two female featured artists contribute to the vocals but any change is subtle.

Ravyn Lenae Feat. Steve Lacy [2022] - Skin Tight (Alternate) [Atlantic]


Ravyn Lenae has released an alternate take on "Skin Tight" featuring Steve Lacey. The original version was released as a single on 1 Feb 2022 and then appeared on the album  "HYNPNOS" in Mat 2022.

Strangely, when originally posted, I commented that she sounded a bit like Minnie Riperton on this song and  B. Valentine has just released a cover of "Lovin' You" at the weekend.

Ravyn Lenae Washington is a 23 year old singer/songwriter from Chicago who debuted with an independent EP "Moon Shoes" in 2015 (aged just 16) which was reissued by Atlantic Records the following year when she was signed to the label.
