Bad Feeling
What a surprise it was to discover Joy Crookes is only 17. I know that every new artist out there seems to be under 18 these days, but still this girl emanates a maturity far beyond her years.

Craving
Happy Bank Holiday, hope most of you have had the day off like me. I’d forgotten about this sneaky little one at the end of May so it was a pleasant surprise last week.

Beautiful Little Fools
Jorja Smith has been popping up in my playlists for a few months now. I first came across her about a year ago with the track Where Did You Go. Since then there’s been a wonderful EP Project 11 and now she’s featured on Drake’s brand new playlist More Life. If you’ve not heard of her yet you’re about to.

Hollow
The soundtrack to this weekend was classic soul, Al Green, Stevie Wonder and the like. While endulging in the smooth retro tracks I came across Kiah Victoria. Kiah hails from NYC with an assertiveness to her vocals which belies her 24yrs. Continue reading “Hollow”
Live in This Moment
For a lazy bank holiday Monday, how about a beautiful laid back track. This by Kakou is one of those which you can instantly fall in love with.

Indulge
I discovered Jones on Later with Jools Holland where she sung the most beautiful stripped back version of this track. Raised in London by her, not surprisingly, soul loving mum. Despite their electro beats there’s a definite hint of soul in her smooth tracks. Indulge is quite an apt name as this song is quite an indulgence, the whole EP is in fact. Perfect soundtrack … Continue reading Indulge
Coming Home
Oh Mr Bridges what can I say, that voice it just makes me melt. I had intended to share this track a few weeks ago when I saw him on Jools Holland and was lulled into sweet dreams after a stressful week. You know me though always was going to, never I have. He’s absolutely everywhere now so figured I best share this before I … Continue reading Coming Home
27 Club
My new girl crush and I’ve only heard this one track, when it’s this good though it’s enough. Chloe Black was born in Australia and raised in LA and Paris, enough to me me suitably jealous on its own. When you mix in major musical talent, I’m fan girling all over the place. Not only does Ms Black have cool Lana-esque vocal, the comparison is … Continue reading 27 Club
Jump Hi
These guys got me with their cool name, Lion Babe. They’re twosome Jillian Harvey and Lucas Goodman. I loved their first track which was out a whole year ago! Finally there’s a follow up. Any track that features Childish Gambino I know I’m going to like. Add in a Nina Simone sample and I’m sold. This is a forerunner to an EP which promises to … Continue reading Jump Hi
Hard Time
Seinabo Sey is a Swedish pop soul singer who came to my attention last year with her track Younger. Younger was produced by Magnus Lidehäll who created Mapei’s Don’t Wait which I featured a few weeks ago; so no surprise it caught my attention. Last month she realised this new track which has a different feel to it. There’s a definite hint of Mary J … Continue reading Hard Time
