Delilah - 21 x Love Drug (2-4am Mixtape)

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Delilah's highly anticipated debut mixtape, 2-4am, which she dropped off as a free download earlier tonight. The stunning singer/songwriter shot into the spotlight following her feature slot on the sophmore album from Chase & Status, but 2012 is the year where she is set to blow the world away with her talents as a solo artist. Her enchanting vocal tone alone sets her apart from anyone else out there right now. Love this girl, get your copy of the mixtape HERE.

Roses Gabor - The Wonderful World Of Roses Gabor Vol. 1 (Mixed by Martelo) 

Roses Gabor is a name that many of you may not have heard, but I can guarantee that you have heard her voice over the past few years. Whether it's with Redlight on 'Stupid', Shy FX on 'Raver', SBTRKT on the incredible 'Pharoahs' or on tour with Gorillaz, this lady has become one of the most sought after female vocalists in the UK, and there is a reason for that. 'The Wonderful World of Roses Gabor Vol. 1', which has been mixed by my man Martelo, showcases exactly why. Click play, enjoy.

Christina Aguilera - At Last (Live @ Etta James Funeral)

Yesterday saw the funeral of Soul legend Etta James, who sadly passed away last week - The Roots and the legendary Stevie Wonder both paid tribute in their own unique way, but it was Christina Aguilera's rendition of the iconic 'At Last' that was the stand out performance. An amazing lady, and a top vocal from Miss Aguilera (she should cover up a bit more next time though).

With D'Angelo returning to the music world this week, R&B superstar Frank Ocean drops a brand new track, which is aptly named 'Voodoo'. A very heartfelt and reflective song - this guy can do no wrong in my eyes.

DivaGeek - Album Snippets

Vula Malinga & Ben Jones, better known as DivaGeek, have both been involved in the music business for quite a while now, but 2012 sees the London-based duo preparing the release of their debut album. DG was born in 2006 when the two first wrote together and started work on Vula's debut EP 'If U Want It' - including 5 tracks & 2 remixes, the EP was independently released digitally through DivaGeek Records in July 2008. With this they were able to play live across the UK, as well as going abroad and supporting the likes of Loose Ends & Musiq Soulchild. However, both have grown as artists since then, and this album will be a showcase of everything that they have learned from their experiences over the past few years. Follow DivaGeek on Twitter HERE, and check out the album snippets below.
