I Believe

Al Castellana is probably the greatest soul singer in Italy and has just released the first single off his new album (scheduled for a March/April release). This guy really doesn’t sound how you would expect him to - what an absolutely stunning voice. You can also watch the video HERE.

Left & Right

A new D’Angelo remix, which comes courtesy of one the most under-rated Hip-Hop producers around, Freddie Joachim. This is a melodious percussive take on one of my favourite D tracks - it’s been on repeat for the past hour. I miss this man. Get your free download HERE.

My Cloud

The 3rd remix off the upcoming remix album from Jamie XX, which will see him re-imaging Gil Scott-Heron’s 2010 album, I’m New Here. Have a feeling that this release will be a special moment.

I Need A Doctor

A new single from Detox, which features Eminem and Skylar Grey. Really intrigued to hear what this album is going to sound like. This is a completely different feel to Kush.

Nobody's Perfect

Here is another offering from Jessie J’s upcoming debut album, Who You Are. This is a pretty enjoyable song, but I’ve still to hear anything that is on the same level as Big White Room.

Centuries

This is a new track from one of my favourite unsigned artists, M-Trey, who is based in Chicago. He is best known for his rapping, but this is him showing off his singing talents. Oh, and the production is by him too. Lots of love for this. Download it for free, here.

Brixton Briefcase x Fool Yourself

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Chase & Status’ second album, No More Idols. More Than Alot will forever be an all-time classic, but this record shows the diversity Will and Saul have in their music and how far they have come as producers over the past 3 years. Very early in the year to make a statement like this, but I really can’t see any producers having a stronger album than this all year - if so, then it’s gonna have to be really special. The first track is Brixton Briefcase which features the legendary Cee-Lo, and the second track is Fool Yourself which features Plan B & their tour MC, Rage. So yeah, if you want my advice, go and get yourself a copy on Monday morning - you will not be disappointed.

Here is Adele’s stunning cover of Cheryl Cole’s smash hit, Promise This. Pretty sure this is how it was meant to be sung originally. HERE is a link to download the performance in full.

Tell Me Why

Here is a bubbling mid-tempo groove from Reel People, which sees Tony Momrelle asking the object of his affections why they just can’t seem to make things work out. Everything about this is beautiful - similar standard to their two previous albums, Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder. Can’t wait for this latest release.

Only You

Here is a stunning new track from an upcoming London-based soul singer, called Iman. It’s co-written by my mate Ed Sheeran, and is another example of how much talent this man is blessed with. She has a beautiful voice and the track has been perfectly crafted, to create a little masterpiece. One of those songs that you have to put on repeat. Excited to hear what else she has to bring to the table this year.
