Emeli Sandé - Next To Me (Mistajam Live Lounge Session)

Emeli Sandé dropped into the Maida Vale studios earlier this week to perform an exclusive Live Lounge session for Mistajam's show last night. The session included the soon to be hit single Heaven, along with two stunning new tracks, one of which you can watch below - you can download the entire session HERE. You can also watch Emeli performing a spectacular cover of Coldplay's new single for The Sun's Biz Sessions HERE. What a voice.

Eric Roberson - Picture Perfect (Feat. Phonte)

Two of the coolest and most talented men in music hook up to create this wonderful piece of R&B/Soul, which will act as the lead single for Eric Roberson's eigth studio album. Everything about this is beautiful, so just click play and get lost in the music. Excited for this album, but even more excited for Phonte's solo debut.

"I couldn't draw you better, baby..."

Maverick Sabre - I Need

Here is the follow up to Maverick Sabre's highly praised debut single 'Let Me Go', which has been given a lot of love and air time from Radio 1 over the past few months. Premiered tonight on Mistajam's show, this incredibly relevant and laid back soulful piece has got me even more excited for the debut album that is set to be released towards the end of the year. One of the most refreshing talents this country has to offer right now - still gutted about not being able to see him at Global, but this kind of makes up for it. Real soul music.

P.S. I thought I had heard this before - there is a version on Mav's 'The Travelling Man Mixtape', but this finished version is about 100x better.

Sampha - Indecision

Posted on his SoundCloud yesterday, here is a new track from UK vocalist Sampha, who I was introduced to thanks to SBTRKT who let him front most of the stunning self-titled debut album that was released earlier this year. Genuinely cannot tell you how excited I am by his future after hearing this - expecting huge things. You didn't hear it here first, but you heard it here pretty damn early; remember the name.

India Benet - Valerie (Amy Winehouse Cover)

India Benet, daughter of the legendary Eric Benet, pays tribute to Amy Winehouse by performing an acoustic version of Valerie in her bedroom. She is stunning, and has clearly inherited some of her dad's talent when it comes to singing side of things. A great cover, even with crazy Curtis dancing around for the entire video. Looking forward to hearing some of her own material.

Laura Sheeran - A Wake

Some incredibly thought-provoking visuals for the latest release from Laura Sheeran (yes, she is Ed's cousin). Heard a bit of her stuff over the past 12 months, but this is easily my favourite track to date - it's like Dubstep meets Folk, meets Soul, meets Trip-Hop. Whatever it is, it works and I'm a fan. Follow Laura on Twitter HERE and subscribe to her YouTube HERE.

Yasmin - Light Up (The World) (Prod. Shy FX)

Been waiting to get the nod from Yasmin since last week to post this, and here it is. Light Up (The World) is third track/follow up to the first two singles, On My Own and Finish Line, and is a uptempo jam that will sound amazing throughout these final few Summer months. Yas & Shy FX have a special chemistry.

Soul Culture TV - Little Dragon (Interview)

With their latest album in stores NOW, Little Dragon hooked up with Soul Culture TV to discuss all things music; from their legendary inspirations, to the people who they're feeling at the moment - doesn't come as much of a surprise that they are influenced by music from across the board, which is what makes them one of the most refreshing and unique acts around. Subscribe to SCTV's YouTube Channel for Part 2 tomorrow.

Out Da Box TV - Roy Ayers (Interview)

Whilst on the New York leg of his current tour, 70 year old Jazz/Soul legend Roy Ayers sat down with the ODBTV crew and spoke about some incredibly interesting subjects. The main topic of discussion was around Hip-Hop sampling and the support that he has for ALL artists who love and sample his music - one of the most talented, refreshing and down to earth in music (even after being in the game for 50 years). Great interview - hero.

Azari & III - Manic (Original & Maceo Plex Remix)

Here is the funky title track and new single from Azari & III's upcoming debut album, Manic, which is set to be released next month. Been following these boys for a while now, since they appeared from nowhere in 2009, and I'm happy to see the long awaited debut coming together so beautifully. There is also a preview of the super sexy Maceo Plex remix below, which will feature on the singles EP that is available to buy on August 2nd. One of the grooviest and best releases of 2011 so far.
