Karlos Edwards [2023] - Welcome To My World [Digital Jukebox Records] (Full Album)

We posted two tracks from Karlos Edwards new album "Welcome To My World" in Nov. The stunning "With You" feat. Croydon's Elle Cato which not many seemed to pick up on at the time, but no big surprise as these 'truly' soulful songs rarely seem to do well on radio. We paired it with a previous single (Apr '22) which is featured on the album, a cover of Stevie's "Summer Soft" feat. the vocals of Everton Peters. The only two fully vocal tracks on the album as the other tracks are predominantly instrumental.

Karlos is the younger brother of Junior and Philip Edwards who formed Paradise in the 80s and he performed with them as percussionist. They re-emerged in 2021 as Paradise Projex.

In 2015 he released a CD album "Karlito's Way" which is a London affair featuring Omar, Don-E, Natalie “The Floacist” Williams, Paul Johnson, Junior Giscombe and Chris Ballin  and consisted of new takes on some  70s/80s classics.

Karlos Edwards Feat. Elle Cato [2022] - With You [Digital Jukebox Records]

A superb new single alerted to me by Soul Groove Radio's Steve Agassild from Karlos Edwards featuring Croydon's Elle Cato on "With You" was released on 22 Nov. His only other single was released in April 2022, which is a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Sumer Soft" featuring Everett Peters, so I'll take the opportunity of post that as well.

Karlos is the younger brother of Junior and Philip Edwards who formed Paradise in the 80s who he performed with as percussionist. They remerged last year as Paradise Projex.

In 2015 he released a CD album "Karlito's Way" which is a London affair featuring Omar, Don-E, Natalie “The Floacist” Williams, Paul Johnson, Junior Giscombe and Chris Ballin  and consisted of new takes on some  70s/80s classics which I'll post separately.
