Kenny Thomas [2022] - Got It On Time [Virtue Records]


No new material from Kenny Thomas for ten years and now this single will be the third posted within about six weeks. One being an Opolopo  remix of "Crazy World" which probably doesn't count as new material and the other "Contagious" released on 22 Sep.

Both the new single "Got It On Time" (out on 17 Nov) and "Contagious" will feature on his new album due in Spring 2023. We are also told that there will be an Opolopo remix of "Got It On Time" in early December supported by Lukas Setto.

Kenny has been on the road in 2022, appearing at some of the gigs with Acantha Lang in support in the summer, and he headlines at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, London, on 10 Dec.

His career now spans almost 35 years, releasing his debut, multi-platinum album "Voices" in 1991 after releasing several singles since 1988. He has achieved eight UK Top 40, two Top 10 singles and two BRIT Award nominations.

In addition Kenny wrote his autobiography "Baring My Soul" in Dec of 2021. The leader for it reads:

"Kenny Thomas shot to fame in 1991 with the multi-platinum-selling album Voices, storming the music charts and the UK soul scene in the process. But what happened next? Read how he went on to do a Bachelor of Science Degree in Oriental Medicine whilst some in the music industry believed he had given everything up to live in a monastery. Then discover how his whole world fell apart when his daughter was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and was given just six months to live. This is more than just a pop memoir. For the first time and in his own words, this is Kenny's story."

Saint Jaimz [2022] - She's My Monday Refix / Technology [Household Name Entertainment]


A new mix of a song released by Saint Jaimz last month with "She's My Monday Refix" which uses Bernard Wright's' "Spinnin'" from "'Nard" 1981 as a backdrop. The Wright song may be more recognisable from Skee-lo's 90s hip-hop song "I Wish".

The song is the fourth from Saint Jaimz's upcoming EP "The RNB Remedy".

He also has a new single "Technology" featuring POPZ and Kaleo Ross dropping on Friday (18 Nov'22) which reminds me of  The Gap Band ("Oops Upside Your Head"?) in parts.
