Entries in Soul (1005)
Jessie Ware - Wildest Moments
Singer/songwriter Jessie Ware has captured the hearts of many music lovers over the past 12 months, and it seems she isn't going to stop spoiling us any time soon - following on from her stunning Bobby Caldwell cover, Jessie now brings us the third single from her highly anticipated debut album 'Devotion'. All three singles have had a completely different vibe to one another, with her enchating vocals and the atmospheric production shining through on this one. 'Devotion' drops August 20th.
MNEK - Put Yourself In My Place (Kylie Minogue Re-Fix)
After his brilliant Kelis re-fix earlier in the year, young starlet MNEK now brings us his own version of the second single from Kylie Minogue's self-titled sophmore album in 1994. Along with The Third Degree/Smoove rework of 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', it seems as though 2012 is the year where artists show Kylie how her songs should have been done originally! This is amazing.
Easy Star All-Stars - Billie Jean (Michael Jackson Tribute)
Reggae cover legends Easy Star All-Stars drop off the first single from their forthcoming tribute album 'Thrillah', which will drop August 28th and (as you can probably guess) will be paying homage to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. First up they have reworked 'Billie Jean', and on the album the All-Stars will be joined by The Green, Steel Pulse, Spragga Benz & many more, to help transform some of MJ's most iconic hits. Stream below and get your free download HERE.
Demarkus Lewis - Have A Good Time
Demarkus Lewis, one of the hardest working and most consistent men in House music, is back with a brand new EP called 'Good Times'. This track is my favourite out of the three and samples the classic 'Living Together' by The Jackson 5. Pick up a copy HERE and have yourself a good good time...
Plan B - Playing With Fire (Prod. Labrinth) x Falling Down (Live Lounge)
With the film having hit cinema's around the country last week, Plan B tonight dropped into the Maida Vale studio to perform a special live lounge with his band, which included exclusive performances of new material from the 'iLL Manors' soundtrack. 'Playing With Fire' is produced by Labrinth, with the studio version featuring Etta Bond, and 'Falling Down' is an incredible Hip-Hop storytelling record that sees Ben Drew go back to his 'Who Needs Action When You Got Words' days. Cannot wait to see the film, because this soundtrack is already something really special.
Cleo Sol - Never The Right Time (Who Do You Love) (Official Video)
A hot and steamy video for the catchy debut single from R&B singer Cleo Sol, which was released last week on Island Records. Get your copy HERE.
Delilah - Inside My Love (Live @ KOKO)
Live footage of singer/songwriter Delilah performing her new single at KOKO, which is the second from her forthcoming debut album and the follow up to 'Breathe'. The single will be released July 16th on Atlantic Records, coinciding with the release of her debut album 'From The Roots Up', which will follow two weeks later. Beautiful. Pre-order the single HERE and the album HERE.
Anthony Valadez - Underwater (Feat. Mar & The Park) (Official Video)
Official visuals for the simply stunning 'Underwater', which is the latest single to be lifted from Anthony Valadez's beautiful new album 'Just Visiting'. Saw a tweet the other day that said "R&B/Soul is struggling in 2012" - my opinion is that some people are just ignorant and aren't prepared to look far enough to find the good stuff - this is bloody next level. Buy HERE.
Michael Jackson - Don't Be Messin' 'Round
As everyone knows, Michael Jackson's estate is currently in the process of planning the re-release of 'Bad' to celebrate the album's 25th anniversary. The album will be remastered/repackaged and packed full of new remixes, unreleased material and a DVD of Micheal's live show at Wembley Arena during his 'Bad' tour. Any MJ fan should be very happy to hear this as it's classic sounding Michael from the 80s, and has me excited to hear what else they have hidden in the locker.
