The Shapeshifters Feat. Teni Tinks [2021] - You Ain't Love (Club Mix) [Glitterbox]

Latest release from The Shapeshifters featuring in-demand session singer Teni Tinks escaped yesterday,  2 Apr 2021.  

Teni has toured with the artists such as The Jackson’s, Quincy Jones, Stormzy, Tweet, Glenn Lewis, Jess Glynne, Jessie j.

There's a fine line between good disco and 'cheesy' disco but these guys always seem to be on the right side of that line.  The bass line is infectious and the 'disco diva' soulful vocals from Teni Tinks gives it credibility. I don't think it as 'instant' as 'Finally Ready' which I thought should have been a smash ... so what do I know? It comes in two sizes, the edit (feautured below) and the obligatory 6:35 Club Mix.

Ginny Brown & The Collective [2021] - Starlight [Parloscope International]

I'm only posting this as it's a new entry into UK Soul Breakers chart this week. It's a lightweight, contrived, poppy (probably blue-eyed and UK based) disco track ... it's even got a rock sounding guitar lick in there ... enough said!

A quick check confirms that this group is from Nottingham.

Kelli Sae [2021] - Good Love [Reel People Music]

This has gone straight in at #1 on Traxsource Top 100. Another Reel People production featuring Kelli Sae with a Michael Gray extended and instrumental mix.

It's retro disco track that tends to get termed 'soulful house' that does well on UK Soul chart.

Vladimir Cetkar [2021] - I Remember

Macedonian dance from Vladimir Cetkar (an unlikley name for a soul singer, blue-eyed or otherwise) delivers a dance track with very strong Chic influences - sounds like a riff from Chic's 'I Want Your Love' to my ears compare 2:40 with Chic below about 2:50 in.

Not my 'cup of tea', lightweight neo disco, but is the sort of track that seems to do well on UK Soul chart.

Chic [1978] - I Want Your Love [Atlantic]

Heavenly

Here's a better track he relased in 2014, very George Benson influenced?
