March 7th will see the release of Australian combo True Live sophomore album on the French territory. Two years after the original launch of "Found Lost" in their native Australia, the Melbourne Jazz/Rap sextet is starting to enjoy great support from major media outlets, among them TV channel Canal + and top-notch radio stations such as Nova, Le Mouv, Oui FM and Europe 1. True Live will also embark on a nationwide tour in France this spring, with an appearance at Le Printemps de Bourges Festival and a stop in Paris at La Maroquinerie [...]

Blame it on the winter, or maybe on my newly found passion for Danish duo Quadron , but I've been in an extreme mood for alternative, experimental, abstract Soul these days. So of course, this recent note found in my mailbox introducing me to the sound of Los Angeles based newcomer Indigo Charlie , was quite on point I must say ! Inspired by the likes of indie acts such as Lykke Li and The XX , this former Solange Knowles personal assistant dropped her very first single a few weeks back, the [...]

May 20th, 2008 - February 7th, 2011. This is it. 2 years, 8 months, and 18 days. It took me all this time, the late night wanders on the Internet, plus the process of writing more than a thousand total posts over here (with a little help from my friend Sonia) to finally reach this state of rapture, the kind of feeling that leaves you with the thought you eventually found what you'd always been searching for. The perfect fusion of Jazz, Soul, Indie Rock, Rap, Blues and Folk, all coexisting in a one of a kind young combo. Hailing [...]

After Quadron and Ayoe Angelica , here is the latest breath of fresh Scandinavian indie Pop air, which found its way into my personal playlist recently. Debuting her singing career back in 2008 as Nora Lindqvist, Non Tiq made quite a wise artistic move a year or so later, stepping out of the gloomy, folkish sound of her early work to embrace a more lively and colorful Electro Pop vibe. Watch the video for her debut single "Quiet" and get a sneack peek at her upcoming first effort, "Love Machine" [...]

Miss Baby Sol is yet another name to add to the flourishing list of soulful talents the Brits keep on providing. The 27 year old London based singer ain't no newcomer to the game though, having accompanied, as a background singer, household names such as Joss Stone , Amy Winehouse and, most recently, Paloma Faith . With the release of her first EP "Before I Begin (The Journey)" , a subtle, elegant collage of Swing, Jazz, Soul and Reggae sounds brightened up with a rich orchestration, Miss Baby Sol proves that indeed, [...]

Fresh out of Toronto, Canada, Kai is that new cool songbird you'll probably have on repeat right after you've listened to her debut single "I Choose Me" . We don't know much about her yet, except the fact that so many music blogs have praised her for the last couple of weeks. Kai is a singer/songwriter in her twenties, and her sound (a Bluesy Soul infused kind of Pop, an impression due in part to her raspy voice) could be compared to the likes of Zee Avi , [...]

Avoir entre les mains l'exemplaire promo d'un disque dont on sait pertinemment que ses auteurs deviendront l'une des sensations musicales des mois à venir a de quoi procurer un certain plaisir, avouons-le. C'est une sensation familière que les programmateurs radio, directeurs artistiques, journalistes et autres influenceurs de ce monde doivent bien connaître, et que les blogueurs musicaux ont eux aussi, parfois, l'occasion d'expérimenter. C'est, pour ma part, un modeste privilège qui m'a été accordé ce week end, avec le premier EP du duo français The ET's , reçu dans ma boîte aux lettres hier, et encodé dans mon Itunes [...]

Still catching up with all those 2010 releases we slept on, mysoul proudly introduces you to the sound of Ivana Santilli . The Toronto based singer is, of course, already a well known figure among soul aficionados, especially for her 2004 release "Corduroy Boogie" , an album where she had the great opportunity to collaborate with household names such as James Poyser , Stuart Matthewman (founding member of British cult band Sade ), Dwele and Omar Lye-Fook . In 2010, Ivana Santilli (who not only is a talented [...]

Sur mysoul , nous sommes de vraies rebelles, dans notre genre. Alors que nos confrères blogueurs musicaux s'évertuent à être les premiers à dégainer le son du jour, l'exclu du moment, l'incontournable nouveauté après laquelle nous ne courons même (nous étant depuis longtemps laissées déborder par cet afflux constant de musique), j'ai décidé, cette semaine, de nager contre le courant. A défaut de pouvoir être considérée comme une primeur, l'artiste qui suit sera donc peut être pour vous, je l'espère, une plaisante découverte. C'est pour ma part en zappant sur la chaîne musicale Nat Geo Music (et [...]

D' Amy Winehouse à Remi Nicole , il n'y a qu'un pas que nous franchissons dès à présent sur mysoul , puisque les deux chanteuses originaires du Nord de Londres se trouvent également être amies intimes dans le privé. Pour être honnête, je n'avais jamais entendu parler de cette charmante artiste âgée de 27 ans avant qu'elle ne me soit recommandée par le biais de Last FM il y a quelques jours. Elle qui œuvre dans un registre proche d'une VV Brown ou d'une Eliza Doolittle (de la Pop alternative, teintée [...]

On Friday evening, I was lucky enough to be invited to the Prix Constantin ceremony at the Olympia hall in Paris. This is basically the French equivalent to the prestigious Mercury Prize in England, and though the winner, Morocco born Soul/Jazz/Folk singer Hindi Zahra was not the one I would have loved to see awarded here, I thought it was a perfect occasion to feature this Blue Note signee on the blog, because she obviously has a thing of her own. So here it goes, the videos for "Beautiful Tango" [...]

It's been a few years now since Britain has been providing us with that fresh, girlicious Pop/Soul mix. Of course there were Joss and Amy , Adele and Duffy , and the list goes on and on. We've just been charmed by the sassy lyrics and sweet melodies of newcomer Eliza Doolittle , and yet, another super hot, North Londener young diva is making her way into our hearts (and playlist). Here comes twenty something singer/songwriter Zarif , who some of you may have discovered back in 2007 when she first appeared [...]

I've been keeping this one to myself for a while now, but it's time, eventually, to share this newly found gem with you all. Parisian born Blues musician Charles Pasi could be described as the French answer to Jamie Cullum , mixed with The John Bulter Trio , and spiced up with some Citizen Cope flava ! That's the bunch of artists that comes to mind when I listen to Charles Pasi 's recently released EP "Uncaged" , and, if you wanna try and taste this appetizing recipe (a luscious blend of [...]

Here's a young and promising artist I wanted to feature on mysoul since the day I discovered his interview on Vibe . Jawan Harris has just turned 13, but his solid debut single, "Nobody" (a seductive mellow R&B jam with soulful harmonies), proves this teenager, a recent addition to the Jive Records roaster, has everything it takes to appeal to a wide audience. Obviously, those 30 something nostalgic for the 90's R&B sound will know what I'm talking about after watching the video for "Nobody" (with a [...]

We first featured Belgium singer/songwriter Selah Sue on mysoul back in 2009 (find the article here ). At that time, the gifted newcomer was just bursting into the music scene, but was already arousing the interest of the media, being praised for her live acoustic performances and her sweet yet raspy voice, often compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse or even Duffy . A year later, Selah Sue found herself a home at French indie label Because Music , which is finally releasing her [...]

If you're a 90's R&B enthusiast and happen to follow the career of one of its most respected ambassadors, mister Brian McKnight , you might already have heard of his sons BJ and Niko , who've turned out to follow in their father's footsteps. The kids have embarked on a music career as well, joining Brian McKnight on stage and have even been touring with him for a few years now. I had the chance to discover them back in 2007 when the singer stopped to Paris, and I was quite impressed by the [...]

Cette semaine, le musicien américain Teron Beal (dont nous vous parlons très régulièrement sur mysoul depuis la découverte de sa vidéo "Dance At My Funerals" ), était à Paris afin de préparer la sortie, en janvier prochain, de son premier album "Liquor Store" sur le marché français. L'artiste a notamment donné une série de concerts et rencontré les médias, amorçant ainsi le lancement de son tout nouveau single, "New Girl" . Après nous avoir offert, en exclusivité, la vidéo officielle de cet excellent titre (qui s'est affichée en [...]

"I grew up with so many different music genres. With my dad as a professional musician and mom literally starting and ending days with the radio as her bible, I got exposed to music as a whole package. With this as the foundation of "Mar Variations" , I can take any joint or lyric and flip it the way I would love to hear it" . Those words come from up-and-coming Soul singer Mar , and serve as the introduction to his "Mar Variations" project. With a voice as smooth as a fudge filled candy, and [...]
