Samuel Jack – “Perfect”

Influenced by his nomadic childhood, in which he moved from London to Johannesburg and The Netherlands, this British singer and songwriter was brought up on blues, Motown, soul and roots music. Now creating his own style of contemporary soul in a caravan in Somerset, he debuted with his EP “Let It All Out” in 2016. Championed by BBC Radio 2, he’s gearing up for his new European tour.

The blend of the acoustic piano and organic rhythm with electronic elements gives his latest single a classic feel wrapped in a modern coating. Driven by a powerhouse performance of his vigorous, soul-infused voice, singing about misplaced judgment and underlining the fact that nobody’s perfect, this infectious and imposing tune is a vivid, anthemic piece of impassioned nu-soul perfection.

The Terri Green Project – “Night To Remember”

A seasoned veteran of the music scene, this legendary, multi-talented singer and songwriter first hit the charts in 1997 with the song “Oh La La La” as part of duo 2 Eivissa. With an awe-inspiring resume of multiple worldwide charting dance tracks and over a 1000 songs written, now she’s joined forces with producer and saxophonist Torsten Abrolat to create a genre-spanning mix of groovy sounds.

Their new single first hangs up a glitterball over a brightly lit dancefloor, as the ear-tingling 70s wah wah guitars, bouncy beat and snazzy strings create a vintage-dipped disco banger. Inspired by the sounds of the late 70s/early 80s from bands like Chic and Shalamar, they’ve added modern production to a funkalicious retro trip down Disco Lane and made this a tune filled with neon vibrancy.

Stealth ft. The Dap Kings – “Black Heart”

Hailing from Birmingham, this British singer and songwriter finds his influence in the rich and emotive soundscapes of blues and soul. Songs from his 2016 debut EP “Intro” have been used in the TV series “Suits” and “Black Ink Crew”. Inspired by Howlin’ Wolf, Etta James and Bill Whithers, he utilized the dark tone of his voice and personal lyrics to produce an one-of-a-kind soulful sound.

The addition of the blazing brass of the legendary Dap Kings to his vintage-soaked, soul-dripping vocals is a match made in funky heaven. The buoyant bass line, sanguine rhythm and the euphonious horns melt together into a sweet-sounding and intoxicating groove, while the colorful, retro shine of his voice adds a touch of rhapsodic retro glamour to this extravagant portion of glitzy soul.

Jennah Bell – “Can’t Be Too Careful”

With her roots planted firmly in the Bay Area of California, this unorthodox singer and songwriter grew up surrounded by Oakland soul. However, she engineered her own colorful fusion of folk, soul, R&B and Bluegrass. She furthered her musical vision at the Berklee College Of Music and was mentored by Paul Simon. After a move to New York, she released her debut EP “Early Bird” in 2011.

With a mischievous beat pulsating in the veins of the rebellious electric guitars, her new single merges vintage Rhythm & Blues with a distinctly modern vibe. Taken from her album “Anchors & Elephants”, she uses her vocal palette to splash some 60s soul shades, New Orleans Blues hues and a touch of Bluegrass tints onto a melodic canvas and creates a recalcitrant pastiche of auditory art.
