The Soul Immigrants – “Blame It On The End Game”
Founded in 1992 by singer/guitarist Emrys Baird of Funk Ambassadors fame, this funk quartet from South London have been the purveyors of soul, jazz and funk ever since. Further consisting of David Bouet, Al Gibson and Ian Bailey, they’ve opened for Fred Wesley & The New JB’s and Steve Cropper from Booker T. & The MG’s. They debuted on their album “A Healthy Vibe For A Mood Worldwide” in 1995.
Harking back to the jazz-funk sound from Emrys’ time with The Funk Ambassadors, their red-hot new single is an infectious, funk-laden retro groove. With an insatiable rhythm, fiery slap bass and searing guitars laying down a melody that sounds like a mix of 70s funk and Jamiroquai-like 90s acid-jazz revival, it’s the blistering flute and the soulful vocals that make this tune a treat for your ears.

Kami Kehoe – “Break My Heart”
Based in Las Vegas, this singer, songwriter and drummer was introduced to music by her parents. She started playing drums at the tender age of 3 and fell in love with the instrument. During her teens she performed in a band with her siblings. Her drumming hero is Sheila E., but she draws inspiration for her songs from the world around her. She debuted her R&B sound on “Lovesick” in 2021.
Dealing with the emotions of still wanting an ex-lover who broke your heart, her latest single is doused in a reflective sentimentality. Creating an ear-stroking blend of 90s R&B and a sugary soul, this is a wistful, nostalgic melody. And with her heart-wrenching, soulful vocals making you feel her romantic pain, this is a touching tale, put to a poignant piece of pure majestic R&B excellence.
