Hunter Rose [2023] - Butterfly [Self Released] (Full EP)


Hunter Rose (aka Kayla Makka) is a relatively new neo soul singer from Cape Town (South Africa) who released her debut album "Love & Trust" in May 2020. She last featured here a year ago with her single "Forever Yours" which is included, along with a remix of it, on her latest EP "Butterfly" released last week (14 Apr '23).

The seven track EP includes her last three singles: "What You Wanna Do", "Gratefuland "Forever"  as well as remixes of two of them, leaving just two new songs: "Hollywood" and "Having My Way" which is presumably the title track as Butterfly features consistently in the lyrics.

Chanel Teabou' & Gourty Maxx [2023] - Hold On Me [The Maxx Universe]


This new singe "Hold On Me" by Chanel Teabou' appears to be a debut single, or at least the only one currently listed for her. However, she did release a single "Butterfly" in Oct 2016 which is credited as 'Milk+Sizz Presents' which seems to be filed and credited to Milk + Sizz. Having said that the song won't be of much interest to soulies!  

Credited on the current single is Gourty Maxx who is the producer.

Lady Wray [2023] - Joy & Pain (Pete Rock Remix) [Big Crown Records]


Last week (12 Apr) Big Crown released three remixes of  Lady Wray's "Joy & Pain" from her last album "Pieces Of Me". There's the Pete Rock Remix, Pete Rock Remix (Instrumental) and a rap remix which features Ghostface Killah.

It's the Pete Rock Remix which will probably be of most interest which adds a more beefy bassline to the original album mix.

They have also subsequently also released a remix of the album title track "Pieces Of Me" (13 Apr) which essentially adds 50 seconds of rap by Ghostface Killa as the introduction.

Annie Tracy [2023] - Times It By Two [Provide The Vibes Inc]


Another release from a few weeks back from a new name Annie Tracy who released her debut single "Times It By Two" on 31 Mar '23.

A live performance video for the song was uploaded last Wednesday which is a bit of a jaw dropper! 

Annie is from North Carolina and if this is her first single makes us wonder where she has been until now as this is an exceptional performance. Apparently the single has been five years in the making.

The Sound System Feat. Farrahmon [2023] - Your Love Is Like [Self Released]


The latest single from The Sound System is "Your Love Is Like" released on 31 Mar which features session singer Farrahmon on vocal duties. 

There's not much information available for The Sound System but from what we can ascertain from song writing and label credits it appears to be Kenneth Mason Jr. who is a producer/remixer from Chicago.

It's new soul with an old school vibe and what a nice set of pipes Farahmon has! She's featured on a number of artists recordings but we can't find anything about her apart from an entry on SoundBetter.
