[Andybellwood]

And of course ...finally as anticipated on 45 

Roland Johnson 'set your mind free' (MD Records) 

https://www.soul-source.co.uk/articles/news-soul/md-records-45-roland-johnson-–-set-your-mind-free-r4227/

[Soulfusion]

With the Roland Johnson MD release rightfully receiving plenty of plaudits some may have missed this tune https://www.mdrecords.co.uk/product/md107-ive-got-the-feelin-the-in-souls-bw-tonys-groove/ that has also been snuck out by MD Records.

[Soulfusion]

Hit and Run return with a couple of releases at the end of the month including this first time on 45 single from Jo Jo Benson

The In-Souls is also excellent

A new one from Nick Corbin, formerly of New Street Adventure. A new album drops in June and he's released a couple of 45s  as an introduction. As always its a great song . I got my copies direct from Nick's website on https://www.nickcorbin.co.uk/about

Great shout

Are You Ready is a tip-top track as well

[Guest]

Durand Jones & The Indication from Colemine records have released a superb version of 'Young Americans'. Available on Spotify and on Bandcamp. Download only at the moment. This would make a great 45.

Coming out as a Kent single at the end of August - 

 

[Johndelve]

It doesn't look like anyone has yet mentioned Don Bryant's extraordinarily good new LP, "You Make Me Feel". His last set, "Don't Give Up On Love", was excellent, but this is in another league: in fact, I would go as far as to say it is one of the best records in a true 'southern soul' style for the last forty five years.  I have now played it through three times and am amazed at the quality of musicianship, songs (many re-cuts, it's true) and his singing; it shouldn't be as good as it is at his age.

To say I am impressed would be putting it mildly.

 

 

 

 

[Thinksmart]

Yes enjoying the Don Bryant album immensely.

Moses Patrou - Standby Lover on Soul Tune released just this week.

I got this lovely double -header (backed with 'Good Enough') in the post yesterday. I can't find a clip on YouTube but this is a link where you can get it directly from Simply Soul and can listen to the samples:

Maya Azucena’s ‘Changed My Mind’ by Anthony Nicholson.

 

Artist: Maya Azucena

Title: Changed My Mind (Anthony Nicholson Remix)

Label: Clairaudience

Release: 10th September 2020 (Traxsource) 20th September 2020 (Streaming) 25th September 2020 (Worldwide)

Cat No: CA135

Format: Digital

Anthony Nicholson remixes Award-winning Indie Soul singer Maya Azucena’s ‘Changed My Mind’, turning in a range of exceptional versions.

Chicago’s Anthony Nicholson has a storied history in dance music. For decades he has been crafting some of the best house music around, with releases under a host of aliases as well as being an established international touring DJ. Hailing from Brooklyn NY, Maya Azucena’s long list of collaborators, appearances and credits include a Grammy-Winning recording with Stephen Marley, DJ Jonathan Peters for Ultra Records, a chart topping #3 Billboard dance single on KULT Records, and more.

The ‘Miquifaye Vocal’ sees Anthony retain the soul of the original, sprinkling the gorgeous piano licks and synthesizer work of William Kurk on top of a rolling drum pattern and languid bassline to create a blissed out slice of deep, jazzy house.

The ‘Instrumix’ does exactly what it says on the tin, allowing Anthony’s exceptional production skills to shine through, while the ‘Beatless Pass..’ strips away all but the essential elements, allowing Maya’s sublime vocal talents to take front and centre.

Maya Azucena ‘Changed My Mind (Anthony Nicholson Remix)’ comes out on Clairaudience with a Traxsource exclusive on the 10th, via streaming platforms on the 20th, and worldwide on 25th

Nick Corbin, (formerly of New Street Adventure) - Gotta Get Back To You (Big A.C. 12")

Extended re-mix from his new solo album 'Sweet Escape'. Just so good.

It's good to see this given a new lease of life. She's a talented singer. Her first album in 2003, Maya Who?!, was one of the best of a crop of great independent CDs around that period.

just out digital wise

LEE FIELDS & THE EXPRESSIONS
"TWO TIMER"
OUT NOW DIGITALLY

If you have seen Lee Fields & The Expressions live show in the last 8 years there’s a good chance that you caught them opening the night with their cover of “Two Timer”. Lee stays faithful to the original  Little Carl Carlton version but adds a new grit with his vocals while The Expressions put a ton of umph into the backing track. Die hard fans will be elated to finally have a studio recording of this one to play over and over.

 

 

[Joesoap]

This is really superb. 

Gabriels 'Love and Hate In A Different Time'. Out on a limited 12' in December but pre-orderable now.

NEW LADY WRAY
"STORMS"

There is a new Lady Wray album in the works. If you look at the tunes that we released from it already you can get a feel for what is to come. “Piece Of Me”, “Come On In”, and now The Queen of The Castle, Lady Wray, drops “Storms”. “Storms” is a gem of a record with Lady Wray again bringing her heart & soul to the table. You can hear her whole career in this tune, from the Church, to the Hip Hop / R&B, to the Soul. The new album drops in 2021 and is produced entirely by Leon Michels of El Michels Affair.  Stay tuned.

I've been trying to think of the sample on this for 30 mins now. I've got the tune in my head from verse to chorus and still can't think what it is. I know it's very well known. Somebody help me please? I'm going to kick myself.
