Jason Joshua – “Dedication Hour”

Born in Miami, this singer and songwriter began immersing himself in the vinyl collection of his dad from a young age. Also a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, he plays guitar, bass, keyboard and drums. He started playing with soul outfit Ketchy Shuby, with whom he played for 13 years. Since going solo he’s played venues such as The Moroccan Lounge and The Observatory. Inspired by Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson, he released his debut single “Rose Gold” in 2018.

Written as a tribute to the legendary radio host Art Laboe, his new single celebrates the golden age of call-in radio shows and feeling love and connection as a whole. Taken from his recently released album “Terapia”, this sleek song envelops nostalgia in a sumptuous latin-soul melody. With a sweet rhythm, vintage organ and crisp horns radiating a luscious sonic warmth, it’s the balance of conversational vocals and a soft, velvety tone that makes this heartfelt groove sound timeless.

Born as Ruti Olajugbagbe in Southend-On-Sea, this British singer and songwriter grew up in a music-loving, multi-cultural household.

Since she’s played festivals like Latitude and The Great Escape, venues like The Deaf Institute and opened for Olivia Rodrigo.

Singing about finding absolute peace and emotional freedom with the person you love, her new single shows gratitude to the safe sanctuary of a lover in a turbulent world. Capturing her uplifting lyrics in a breezy melodic tenderness, the song creates a luscious and organic ambience. With a soothing acoustic guitar, sunlit percussion and ambient keys feeling like warm sunbeams stroking your skin, it’s the satiny comfort of her vocals that makes this indie-soul jewel feel like coming home.
