Among all the off topic mails I receive on a daily basis asking for a feature on this platform, sometimes the sheerest happenstance makes me venture and click that link, though I know deep inside there's only a few chance things will work magic in the end. Luckily, the risk of a potential 5 minutes waste of time is worth being taken when you stumble accross such a talent as Adeniké . The London soulstress releases new single "Yes" , which features indie UK rapper Ikes . Accompanying the track, are [...]

<a href=" ici "> Sorry for that very belated Van Hunt dedicated post, but I couldn't sleep on this new offering from the man, which debuted online earlier this July. "The Savage, Sincere L Of P" comes from the alternative Soul musician's brand new effort, What Were You Hoping For? , due out Sept. 27, 2011. Still following the unconventional road I've always cherished him for, this one might bit a lil more intense and let's say, fiercer than the previously released [...]

A George Michael for the new generation. This is how Daley could be (re)introduced, showcasing a refinement, softness and delicacy very reminiscent of the work of his illustrious predecessor, as he croons on his debut mixtape. The effort, entitled Those Who Wait premiered online earlier today. Whether he sings in tune with fellow British vocalist Marsha Ambrosius (one of the ladies of Floetry ) or pays tribute to Maxwell (another exquisite vocalist he could easily be compared to), [...]

He has been one of my biggest inspiration because to my eyes, he represents the epitome of staying true to oneself. As much as an artist should/could be. From the start of is recording career back in 2004 up 'til this newly released song aptly titled "June" , Van Hunt has done nothing more than focusing on releasing the kind of music he believes in. Nothing contrived, nothing falsely rebellious, sometimes as soft and soulful as he needed to be, sometimes edgy, agressive, with that pure Rock sound that I couldn't resist. I love me simply for [...]

So many Ray Ray related infos to share with you that I've decided to post them all in a single post. Some of you might know Raphael Saadiq was in Paris again this week, to perform four different shows to support the recent release of his fourth studio album "Stone Rollin'" . I was lucky enough to attend two of them on wednesday, though I had to skipped thursday's concert for a chance to see the incredibly talented Quadron instead. Though I enjoyed both of Raphael's gigs, as he was backed by a super tight [...]

Selah Sue 's "On The Run" , a track which can be found on the Belgium Soul sensation debut EP "Raggamuffin" , gets the Dubstep treatment courtesy of Dan Donovan. "On The Run" is available as a free download right after the break. Enjoy ! --- Son nom est sur toutes les lèvres, et la petite sensation belge que nous avons découverte avec le superbe "Raggamuffin" est en train de propager sa Soul reggaeisante hors des frontières européenes. Après avoir fait craquer Prince , qui, selon la légende, l'aurait personnellement choisie [...]

A sa sortie en juillet 2010, nombreux étaient les blogueurs qui louaient les qualités de "Sir Lucious Left Foot : The Son Of Chico Dusty" , l'opus du rappeur Big Boi . La critique a également salué les qualités de ce qui marquait la première véritable échappée solo de l'acolyte d' Andre 3000 , mais le public, lui, n'a que modérément suivi. Et pourtant, "Sir Lucious Left Foot" regorge de hits en puissance, à l'image de "Shutterbugg" , l'un des premiers singles exploités, mais aussi de "Tangerine" , l'un des titres qui aura certainement [...]

Voila un morceau qui figure depuis des mois dans ma liste des "titres les mieux notés" sur Itunes, et que je n'ai pourtant jamais pris la peine de partager ici même. L'erreur est réparée aujourd'hui, car bien qu'issu d'une mixtape publiée à la toute fin de l'été 2010, ce "Ghetto Sing" et ses doux accents de Soul acoustique se révélera la ballade idéale qui bercera vos longues soirées d'hiver. Signée par le producteur, chanteur et rappeur Novel , que l'on retrouve notamment sur l'excellent "Night Train" de Joell Ortiz [...]

After a week or so of hiatus, the blog is back on track, stronger than ever (we hope). But with all the great things we missed to share with you already, we of course have to be very picky, offering you just the cream of the crop of what we've been jamming to lately. Last November, Chris Brown released a solid effort in the form of his "In My Zone 2" mixtape, revealing he is not only coming back very strong following the success of his #1 hit single "Deuces" , but that he is [...]

It had been several years since we hadn't heard about Glenn Lewis , the man who burst into the international music scene back in 2001 with the hit single "Don't You Forget It" . The song was the highlight of his debut "World Against My Window" , and sole album to date. At that time, critics were raving about the Toronto musician, who also happened to have none other than Janet Jackson as one of his most enthusiasts fans. The newly released "Good One" marks the return of the canadian crooner after seven [...]

We first mentioned New York based singer/MC/drummer Jared Evan back in 2009 on mysoul . Since then, the 22 year old sensation (and Polow Da Don protege) had his first single "In Love With You" featured on HBO cult series Entourage , after being praised by the likes of Billboard Magazine and The Source . Though his debut album "Fourth Chapter" , will not see the light of day before mid 2011, Jared Evan still found a way to fullfil [...]

Why is J. Cole steadily and inexorably, becoming my new favorite rapper ? Well, the answer you'll hopefully find in his latest mixtape, "Friday Night Lights" . The Roc Nation sensation dropped this 19 tracks combo (plus one G.O.O.D. Friday bonus) two weeks ago, but at that time, the blogosphere went so crazy over it that it was almost impossible to download it straight away. As we of course couldn't sleep on it, I thought I'd still share it with those who didn't have the occasion to give it a try, yet. Did I really [...]

On the second offering from his current project Variations , Dutch singer Mar not only confirms the interest we first shown in his work was certainly deserved, but the young artist also proves his ability for picking the perfect track to suit his warm, silky, exquisitely soulful tone. Here, he chose to give a new spin to fellow Dutch producer Louis Bordeaux 's "1st Session" , a track which appeared on his 2007 release "Lets Love Life" (Appletree Records). Watch the video for Mar 's latest [...]

Two treats for the price of one, with Kanye dropping his G.O.O.D Friday freebie a bit later than expected, this Sunday. The track marks the 1st collaboration between the Hip Hop icon and our new favorite rapper J. Cole , which was quite a remarquable surprise. The joint (which also features Pusha T , Cyhi Da Prynce and Big Sean ) is called "Looking For Trouble" and can be fully streamed after the jump. Meanwhile, the other great news of the day was the unexpected performance of Kanye [...]

The light at the end of the tunnel. With the release of "The Show Goes On" which serves as the official first single off of Lupe Fiasco 's eagerly anticipated third album "Lasers" , the Chi-Town MC and his label Atlantic Records have eventually come to an agreement, to the delight of the musician's supportive and devoted fanbase, who can now chill out, since an official release date for the album has finally been disclosed. "Lasers" will be hitting stores on March 8, 2011 . You can now stream the [...]

"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 [...]

This is the 1st track off of Drake 's upcoming "It's Never Enough" mixtape, and what else can I say... He couldn't start any better than this. The rapper/R&B singer chose to cover a track from one of my all time favorite bands, the Atlanta ladies of TLC . The trio, though considered one the major R&B act of the 90's, hasn't been covered much as of yet. And Drake didn't pick one of those obvious Billboard Hot 100 hits from T-Boz, Left Eye and Chilli. He actually reworked the eponymous (and opening) track [...]

Though he was already an established songwriter in his homeland, thanks to his collaborations with fellow Canadian recording artists Glenn Lewis , Divine Brown and Ray Robinson , it wasn't until he released his very own version of Kanye West 's smash "Flashing Lights" that Colin Munroe rose to international fame. Signed to Dallas Austin 's revamped Rowdy Records , Colin has yet to release his eagerly anticipated debut ""Don't Think Less of Me" , but the musician is definitely [...]

Vous le savez, le retour de Célia et Hélène Faussart, les deux sœurs qui ont fondé le duo Soul Les Nubians à la fin des années 90, est désormais imminent. Cinq ans après la sortie du projet collectif Echos , et plus de sept ans après la publication de leur deuxième album studio, le formidable "One Step Forward" (sur lequel elles collaborèrent avec le slammeur John Banzaï , la formation Reggae Morgan Heritage ou encore Benjamin Biolay ), un 3e opus, intitulé Nu Revolution , a été annoncé pour le [...]

Okay... on a coolness scale of 1 to 10, Bruno Mars would score a big 11, no doubt. Sorry Mike Posner , we like you still, but with the release of his latest video, the Smeezingtons frontman wins the game hands down (yep, we think he's cooler than you, a tiny lil bit). Rejoining forces with "Nothing On You" director Ethan Lader , the singer/songwriter bound to be a superstar is making us even more eager for the release of his debut album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" , dropping October 5 on [...]
