Maya Amolo [2022] - Asali [Self Released] (Full Album)

With five singles and an EP ("Leave Me At The Pregame" (Jul 2020)) under her belt since debuting in 2020, Nairobi's Maya Amolo released her debut album "Asali" today (4 Nov '22).

It contains her single "Foundry" featuring kalbwani from Jul and the one before that "Can't Get Enough" from Mar but surprisingly not her latest "Bend It" (26 Oct).

I think the choice cuts are the two singles mentioned above along with the title track "Asali" and "Fuego".

Kenyon Dixon [2022] - Closer (Deluxe) [Self Released] (Full Album)

Today, Kenyon Dixon has released a deluxe edition of his "Closer" album from May. It has four additional tracks including an extended version of his recent single "Getting Late". In addition it has an extended version of "Expectations (Interlude)". All the new tracks are pretty good mellow songs an I can't really choose between them.

In this day and age I don't suppose it really matters but I would have thought it would have been better releasing the four new tracks as an EP but I guess it remarkets the album one more time, which, if I recall correctly was a soul chart topper in the UK?

THEHONESTGUY is Mubarak Adeyemi from Toronto who released a debut six track EP "Love Songs For No One" in Feb 2021. He has already pre-released the first three tracks on his new six track EP "How To Make Love" (released today 4 Nov 2022) as singles: "Lost to the Summer" (Jun '21) and "Choosy Lover" (Oct '21) and bundled them with "Fight The Feeling".as a three track mini EP "A Rose By Any Other Name", on 21 Jun '22. Two of the other tracks were also released as singles "Can't Wait" (Jan '22) and "Baby Brother" (Apr '22) leaving just "My Pleasure" as a new song but it is probably the highlight of the EP for me along with "Fight The Feeling"!
