Azuni - Feel It (Feat. Bolo)

A beautiful new soulful House track from Azuni's new EP, Soulship. Listen to what Bolo says, and listen to the names that he reels off during the middle section of the song; it's like a little journey through my music collection. Amazing.

Jill Scott - So In Love (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)

Official visuals for the 2nd single from Jill Scott's upcoming album, The Light Of The Sun, which will be available on June 27th. This is still one of my favourite tracks of the year so far - the perfect love song.

Beyoncé - 1+1

Here is the opening track from Beyoncé's upcoming album, 4. I'm not a huge fan of the lead single, but I fully understand why she has released it, and it's clear to see from this track that the album isn't going to disappoint. I will always have a ridiculous amount of love for this woman.

Ed Sheeran - XFM Live Session

Following on from his session for Zane Lowe the other night, Ed Sheeran dropped into the Manchester based XFM studio to perform 5 tracks; including A-Team, UNI, Wake Me Up, Wayfaring Stranger & You Need Me. As Ed said himself, it's refreshing for a radio station to let him perform a small set, rather than squashing him in to a small booth to do just one or two tracks. Below you can hear one of the best performances of You Need Me that he's done, and you can download the entire session HERE. Onwards & upwards.

Kal Lavelle - Downstairs

An incredibly stunning/touching new song and video from young Irish born singer, Kal Lavelle. If you're lucky enough to have tickets for Ed Sheeran's current tour, then you will be able to catch Kal supporting him and performing this track. Special talent.

Miles Bonny - Nuthin' But Chu

Miles Bonny is a man who has been around for quite a long time now, but his first solo album, Lumberjack Soul, is set to be released on June 24th. Great album title and this is a great lead single. Reminds me of a grittier, more raw version of John Legend.

Iman - Only You

The official visuals for Iman's debut single, which was co-written by Ed Sheeran. I love everything about this lady - her voice, the look, her songwriting talents and the unique creativeness, which is clear to see in this video. Look for an interview, coming soon. LOVE.

P.S. How much does the guy look Tinie Tempah?

Nikki Jean - Pennies In A Jar

Here is the beautiful title track from Nikki Jean's upcoming debut album, Pennies In A Jar. The album is set for a July 12th release and will feature songs co-written by Carole King, Bob Dylan and Burt Bacharach, who co-wrote the title song, with guest appearances from Dice Raw, Black Thought and Lupe Fiasco. Safe to say I'm VERY excited for this.

Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder

Happy Birthday to one of the most talented men to ever live. Always with a positive message, Stevie will always be one of my favourite artists of all-time. Genius.

Frank Ocean - U Got It

A tad late on this, but here is a new piece of music from Odd Future's extremely talented R&B crooner, Frank Ocean. It's a little more upbeat and radio friendly than his mixtape stuff, but still incredibly sick. Might be wrong, but I don't think he'll stay with Odd Future for very long.
