The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 1 (Feb 2021 Wk 5)

My selection of the best releases this week (Feb 2021 Wk 5)

There's been quite a lot of releases already this year so let's 'boil them down'. Here are my favourite single releases so far this year. Just click on image to listen to them on YouTube.  Some are 'hangovers' from the tail end of last year i.e. late October onwards.

Genine Latrice Perez Feat. Anikae Brown [2020] - Living My Best Life [Peezy's World]

This was originally released in Sep 2019 but has just also come out on her new 5 track EP 'I Am' which I featured a while ago. This one has grown on me and I've found a video of it which adds another dimension, so time to give it another 'bump'.

Genine LaTrice Perez [2020] - It TakesTwo [Peezy's World Records] (Full EP)

Another quality recent release which escaped on 22nd October 2020.  Classic timeless soul. I like this one a lot!

It's taken from a 5 track EP 'I Am' which you can listen to in full here.  

She's from Little Rock, Arkansas and she's been singing professionaly since 2000.

You can read about her at Arkansas Art Council and also here and alos on Arkansas Online. I've also found a link to Infrared Records where she seems yo have released and appeared on a few (presumably jazz) albums.

As it states on Arkansas ArtsCouncil she is a jazz singer and after a bit of digging I found this video of her singing 'Wild Is The Wind' (posted in 2013) - this one's for the jazz purists only!
