Yasmin - Finally (Kings Of Tomorrow Cover)

23 year old singer/songwriter/DJ Yasmin Shahmir is always one to think outside of the box, and this stripped back cover of 'Finally' by Kings Of Tomorrow is just another example of that. The original was released back in 2000 and for me is one of the greatest House tracks of all-time, but the young Scot showcases her extremely pure vocals, with just a piano and a guitar for company. Free download and a little message after the jump - amazing.

Sleepy Brown - We Run The Night

Although he is known by most as an OutKast affiliate, Sleepy Brown is an exceptional solo artist in his own right, and this new single from his new album shows exactly that. The laid-back piece of R&B is from 'Sex, Drugs & Soul', which is the follow up to his 2006 (under-rated classic) release 'Mr. Brown' and should be out in Summer. What a voice - US peeps can get a copy NOW.

'L.O.V.E.' & 'Running' are my two favourite tracks from Melanie Fiona's highly anticipated sophmore album 'The MF Life', which sees the Canadian songstress hook up with R&B superstar John Legend and Hip-Hop legend NaS. Dropping March 20th - very good album.

Josh Osho - The Manifesto EP

'The Manifesto' is the highly anticipated freEP from the exceptionally talented Josh Osho. 2011 was a big year for the young singer/songwriter, who signed to Island Records and released his debut single 'Redemption Days', which featured the legendary Ghostface Killah. However, having recently finished performing on this year's MOBO Tour and with the level of the quality on this EP, it's guaranteed to be an even bigger and better 12 months for South London-born Soul man. Download your copy HERE, and follow him on Twitter HERE. 'Puppy Love' is brilliant...
