Wayna made me a fan with her debut album Moments of Clarity. But her next release Higher Ground really shows the huge potential she has, so much so that it made it into my Top 8 of 2008. She’s starting to get some real recognition for her talent. She is currently up for a Grammy [...]

This is one of the best tracks (IMHO) from Jazzanova’s recent release Of All The Things. Maybe I’m biased cos I also happen to love Ben Westbeech. In any case the song is lovely and the video provides suitable eye candy:

And here’s a bonus for ya. Ben’s recent mixtape featuing lots of electro-y, break-y kinda [...]

According to the discography on her site she released an EP called The Oscillations back in 2005 so I’m not sure if this is 100% new material, or perhaps an extension [...]

I’m a big Conya Doss fan. I think she’s one of soul music’s most overlooked talents. She puts out consistently great, classy and authentic soul music. Still is her most recent album (I believe her fourth) and this is the new single from it, “What I’d Do.” Check the video below, and then head over [...]
