Silk & NightWind [2024] - Tapestry Amour [Self Released] (Full EP)

Silk & Nightwind is a jazz ensemble from Chicago formed in the early 2000s. Their members have performed with luminaries such as Lalah Hathaway, Will Downing, Boz Scaggs, Usher, Maysa, Brian McKnight and Prince.

Their new five track EP "Tapestry Amour" consists of their own interpretations of Sade's "No Ordinary Love", Smokey Robinson & The Miracles "Here I/We Go Again" (1969), jazz standard "You Go To My Head" (a 1938 song written by J. Fred Coots) and ends with a jazzy arrangement of Luther Vandross' "Don't You Know That" from his 1981 debut solo album. We believe that "All For You" is an original song written by group member Sydney Donaldson.

UK Soul Chart Breakers 9th April 2020

Here are the top 10 'breakers' on the UK Soul Chart 9th April 2020

Blue Soul Ten - Cupid's Bow feat Syauqi Destanika [Greenhouse]

Neo soul stepper.

SoulStrutter's Rating: 8.5

The New Mosaic feat Erica T Bryan - Out Of Body 

I think I may have already posted this track, so may have also made the comment that her voice to me sounds similar to Tahira Memory, Jarrod Lawson's singing partner and the song sounds like something they would produce, which is a compliment.

SoulStrutter's Rating: 8.6

Kevin Ross - Love's In Need Of Love Today feat Sonna Rele [Art Society]

Neo soul/RnB with 'insipid' vocals that so many RnB artists seem to have adopted that some may like ... but not me I'm afraid!

SoulStrutter's Rating: 7.6

Antoine Dunn - I'm Yours [Harvey Marie]

Neo soul/RnB stepper which I'm afraid doesn't do a lot for me as it's just like so much other material that it doesn't move me.

SoulStrutter's Rating: 7.7

Jane Handcock - What I Need []

A nice neo soul ballad/stepper from this predominantly hip-hop artist that shows that she can sing on the 'right' material.  I'm liking this the more I listen, it gets under your skin, and the hook is so reminiscent of an old school tune that I can't quite place.  Not sure what the relevance of the Bobby Brown & Whitney Huston image is all about - it's from her official channel.

The YouTube clip sound quality is not great so click  her Soundcloud page to listen

Ledisi - Anything For You
