Sharin Attamimi [2024] - Nothing's Wrong? [AORTAHMUSIC]

One of the many highlights from Godfrey Fletcher's Neo2soul podcast we posted last week comes from Sharin Attamimi with "Nothing's Wrong?" which warrants and deserves it's own post, especially now that a music video for it is available this week. A superbly soulful neo soul song with a lovely jazzy undertone.

Sharin Attamimi is a classically trained pianist born in Indonesia with roots in Yemen and raised in Perth, Australia. She's released 16 singles and a full album since emerging in 2020.

Last year she was a contestant on Australian Idol and reached the last 24. Her audition was a rendition of Silk Sonic's "Leave The Door Open" (clip below).

Not only is she a great singer but also holds a degree in Neuroscience.

Nic Hanson [2024] - Lola [Vokall Records]

Brooklyn, NYC, based, Philadelphian blue-eyed soul singer Nic Hanson has been on the scene since 2016. We've not come across his music before which is surprising when you consider that he has six songs on Spotify that have received in excess of 1m streams, "Keep The Faith" (2017) has just shy of 20m!

His latest single "Lola" (which just happens to be the name of our 4 yr old Sheltie) was released on Friday (17 May) and is already high on Amazon Hot New Releases (#5 last night).

It has a bit of an 80s groove but also a hint of Marvin Gaye (Inner City Blues in places perhaps?)
