October London [2023] - The RnB Masterclass [Death Row Records] (Full EP)


October London (Jared Erskine) followed his superb album "The Rebirth of Marvin"  in Feb (which is certain to feature in many listener's albums of the year) with a (disappointing from a soul perspective) five track EDM oriented EP "Technicolor" in Mar '23. 

He's back with a more contemporary soulful affair in the form of another five track EP boldly titled "The RnB Masterclass".

All tracks are explicit with "Tell Me" and "A Beautiful Woman" (on which he sounds a tad like R. Kelly) being our choice cuts.

Sevyn Streeter [2023] - It's A Man's World [Groundwērk/MNRK]


Arguably, a song 'done to death' particularly within the many talent shows, but offered up is the latest rendition of James Brown's classic "It's A Man's World" by Sevyn Streeter. released to commemorate what would have been James Brown's 90th birthday on 3 May.

It shows that many, essentially, pop/R&B singers can actually sing when they get a good (proper?) song to sing.

Danielle Ponder [2023] - Roll The Credits [Future Classic]


An artist we came across in April 2021 is Danielle Ponder, who we were so impressed by that we posted her full discography up to that point (that were available).

Danielle is from Rochester, NY, who debuted in 2016 with a seven track EP 'Blow Out The Sun' billed as Danielle Ponder & The Tomorrow People. In 2018 she quit her job as lawyer at Monroe County Public Defender’s office to pursue a music career.

We took our eye off the ball and she released five singles and an album in 2022 and another single earlier this year.

She has a new single out today "Roll The Credits" which grabs you by the short and curlys from the outset. A little bit rocky and menacing in places perhaps, but what a powerful and soulful voice.

A music video for her latest single is set to premiere at 17:45 (BST) but in the meantime included below is a video for an album track from last year "Someone Like You". (don't worry, it's not the Adele song.
