MNEK - Get Along With You (Kelis Refix)

After shooting into the spotlight earlier this year, following his feature on Rudimental's stunning single 'Spoons', MNEK tonight uploaded this refix of one of my favourite tracks from 'Kaleidoscope'. To think the entire lead vocal was recorded on his iPhone is mind-blowing when you consider how soulful and pure he sounds, and displays the level of talent this 17-year old possesses. Can't wait to hear more from MNEK in 2012 - talent, and then some.

Ryan Keen - Oriela x See Me Now

'Oriela' & 'See Me Now' are my two favourite pieces from Ryan Keen's 4-track EP 'Focus', which was independantly released earlier this week. Although iTunes categorised it as Pop, it's much more than that - the EP is completely unique sounding project, which brings together influences from Folk & Soul. Extended Play's don't get much better than this, and if you like what you hear from the two tracks below, be sure to pick up your copy HERE - you won't be disappointed. Ryan has also been confirmed for Wakestock Festival today - tickets HERE.

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.
