Ruby Francis – “Jasmine”
Raised on a steady diet of soul and funk in a musical family, this London-based singer, songwriter, producer and musician is inspired by the likes of Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire. She started learning piano aged 10 and soon began writing songs. Now writing for other artists and being an established music producer as well, she debuted her solo work with “Fall Asleep” in 2017.
Drawing inspiration of The Neptunes and adding it into the vintage R&B/soul mix, her new single is a sweet smooth groove. Where the beat has a retro bounce, the bassline reverberates in your stomach and the keys sparkle, it’s her velvety, flirtatious R&B vocals, singing about an obsession for a girl she’s never met, that add passion and pizzazz. Alluring, magical and suave, this is pure R&B gold.

Bella Hudson – “Look Like That”
No stranger to the limelight, this Nashville-based singer and songwriter performed a self-written acoustic song for 10,000 people at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival aged 11. She became a regular performer for many years, leading to her giving a TEDx talk in Boulder at the age of 13. Since she’s performed all over the country and opened for the likes of Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd and Midland.
Giving smooth contemporary pop a layer of emotive country twang, her debut single introduces the very best of her unique sound. Creating a flirtatious melodic realm with crisp guitars, sweltry percussion and a touch of steel guitar, it’s her refreshing, standout voice, narrating the age-old tale of an attractive guy that doesn’t treat you right, that makes this jam sound invigorating and original.
