Avery*Sunshine [2024] - My Way [BigShine Recordings]

We picked up on the new Avery*Sunshine single "My Way" when released on Friday but it didn't really register on first listen, however, we've persevered and perhaps, like us, you may need a few listens to fully appreciate.

The song is co-written with Dana "BigDane" Johnson, Jamison Ross, DrewTheRew (her daughter), Cory Irvin Sr. and John Michael Rouchell and produced by Jamison Ross with four of the writers performing, Cory Irvin (keys), Jamison Ross (drums), Dana "BigDane" Johnson (guitar) and Brian Cockerham (bass). 

It's now the fourth single this year from her forthcoming album, "So Glad To Know". The others were "Fire" (29 Mar),  "I Wonder" (12 Feb) and the funky "Lifted Up" (1 Jan).

rosh truong [2024] - all i see is you [Self Released]

A debut single by Rosh Trough called "all i see is you" which is another that uses a library backing that we first heard on Raahz's "Joyride" last June and a few other songs since (e.g. Anne. "No Mistake" and CATT "Old School Love") and probably others before.

Nellie Charles [2024] - Rain On Me [Chocolate Love Monkey]

Manchester's Nellie Charles made waves with her debut single "BO$$" (music video below) last month and follows it with her new one "Rain On Me".  The song speaks about the ending of a relationship with some ripe language.

You may recognise the library backing that has been used on other recordings which we first came across a few years ago on W3sst's "Midnite" and has cropped up several times since.

Nellie is the sibling of Jack Tyson Charles who are both the children on BBC Radio 6's Craig Charles but with different mothers as Jack was born to actress Cathy Tyson.

SJ_Musik feat. Nucci Da Fooli [2024] - Sweet Thang (Phillet of Soul Re-Edit) [Self Released]

We came across this cover of Rufus & Chaka Khan's classic "Sweet Thang" by SJ_Music at the weekend which sounded promising until the Caribbean style rap kicked in so we sent it to our edit guru who has restructured it sans Nucci Da Fooli and we think he's done a fine job considering what was left without the rap.

We'll include both versions, the original and the Phillet of Soul Re-Edit. It's unofficial so we can't sell it or give it away but if you can provide proof of purchase of the original by SJ_Music  then we can provide you with the edit.
