Syd – ‘Nothing From Somethin’

From the excellent debut album from The Internet’s Syd, who makes sensual modern R&B feel easy. ‘Nothing From Somethin’ is my current favourite.

Bolis Pupul – ‘Wei’

Soulwax continue their run of releasing mega records on the Dee Wee label. Bolis Popu’sl ‘Wei’, currently riding high in my DJ chart, is my absolute favourite, a pure Soulwax electro-roller.

Dirty Projectors feat. DAWN – ‘Cool Your Haart’

The DPs’ forthcoming self-titled album hets its most pop and most intriguing moment yet with ‘Cool Your Heart’ a collaboration with D∆WN Richards. “An anthem against co-dependency and about feeling cool by yourself”, the song (and video) leads by example. Tyondai Braxton helped out on the production and Mauro Refosco “brings the Bahia beat.”

Soulé – ‘Good Life’

Dublin singer Soulé’s debut single ‘Love No More’ made a big enough impression locally that is was nominated for an Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year. And it’s easy to hear why. Soulé is one of the most promising new artists in the soul, R&B and pop sphere in Ireland and to further prove it she has dropped her follow up single ‘Good Life’, a song inspired by ’90s house, 2step and garage.
