All Day Breakfast Cafe feat. Roella Oloro [2023] - Have You Seen This Queen [Jelly's Jams]

All Day Breakfast Cafe are, according to their website, a seven-piece all-female group who have crowned themselves as South London's favourite disco band, yet all their cover images only show six?

All members are individual artists in their own right, playing London's Jazz scene, brought together by Anjelica 'Jelly' Cleaver.

They formed just in time for lockdown, so live performances were restricted until after lockdown (expect for private parties in Downing Street 😉) and have, including their latest single "Have You Seen This Queen", now released seven singles and an EP ("Builders Brew") since Jun '21.

The melody on their new single sounds very familiar but can't quite place it, could it be Shalamar's "A Night To Remember" in places?

Louis Baker feat. Wallace [2023] - Been and Gone [Self Released]

The new single from New Zealand's Louis Baker is "Been and Gone" released yesterday which features Wallace Gollan originally from Wellington, NZ.

We have to go back to May 2021 when Baker last featured here with a single "Brighter Day" from, his them forthcoming, sophomore album "Love Levitates" released in Jun '21. Wallace has also been featured with her four track EP "Arcade Queen" (May '22).

Baker's first official release came in 2011 with the song "Even In The Darkness". In 2013 he was chosen out of 4000 applicants to take one of only 60 places at the prestigious Red Bull Music Academy in New York after which he spent the summer in London recording his debut self-titled EP released in 2014. He released four singles in 2016-17 followed by his debut album "Open" in 2019 and then "Love Levitates" in 2021.

This is a really nice piece of contemporary blue-eyed soul with a bit of a retro feel that has really grown on us. Their voices blend very well together. Wallace Baker's voice reminds us of Stefan Mahendra who, regular visitors will already know, we rate very highly.
