Soul
Smooth and soulful RnB, elevated by a contemporary melody and subtle but striking electric guitar – French artist and songwriter Mariel-Louise unites nostalgia and charm, for the seductive new single Coup Au Cœur.
Poetry and soulful depth glide united through the airwaves, as The Przmatics deliver the compelling story and timeless soul-pop groove of The Hope & The Hurt.
Rhythmic electric guitar licks, mellow vocals, tribal rhythms and soulful layers of expression – a refreshingly humble but creatively faultless arrangement, which provides the rare quality of being music rightfully designed as a blessing; not merely an artist’s opportunity to showcase himself.
Smooth soul and the old-school comfort of Hip Hop crafted with purpose and commitment – Troy Remedy impresses in a humble yet uplifting way, for the beautiful new single Faith In God.
Having carved out a unique lane in music with his band JNBW, lead singer and front-man Jesse Posis now sets out on the solo road for an entirely new project.
New music from jazz instrumentalist Messiah’el Bey comes in the form of a deeply heartfelt and ambitious project.
The boldly-titled Jazz Can Heal America’s Soul begins with a conversation relayed on top of a dramatic movie scene’s audio – a captivating excerpt, which that delves into the tribulations of slaves and quickly connects that to the current struggles of today.
Dedicated to Molly’s own younger sister, She Is Mighty relays nearly whispered details of a seemingly quiet but ultimately powerful individual, and through a stylishly upfront bass and beat combination, alongside a subtle to striking performance, reinforces that storyline consistently.
“This was a song that came out of passion, I penned the lyrics 25 years ago and recorded a demo with a friend, a flat mate, and fellow ex-band member Steve Mulligan. I was very upset and angry at the time in what I was hearing and seeing coming out of occupied Palestine.”
The project ultimately reflects upon the role of the self, the weight of a life learning things through turmoil and blessing combined. There’s plenty to unpack lyrically, and fortunately the beauty and character of these four tracks allows for an easy re-entry to listen to time and again.
There’s a certain humility and authenticity to On This Day, which blends wonderfully with the strength of songwriting and the absolute skill and substance of the leading performance. An impressive and likable Christmas single, from an artist clearly worth knowing about as 2023 nears its curtain call.
Introducing his second EP from the summer, HJ Soul kindly stopped by to talk about the divine RnB project Illusions. We discuss the title, themes within, the pressures of a sophomore release, and plenty more. Here’s how it went.
