With strong roots in early 80′s boogie disco and more modern nu-soul and electronic music, Amalia’s debut effort (out March 4.) is clearly influenced by artists like Chaka Khan and Erykah Badu to name a few, but the album still manages to sound like her own creation, overflowing with fresh grooves and rampant creativity! The very kind people at her label Tokyo Dawn Records, allowed us to select a track for you to listen to, enjoy and download for free:

Norway’s foremost soul performer, Jarle Berhoft, is about to release his second solo album titled “Solidarity Breaks” during the coming months coinciding with a European tour to promote it. On this one he has gone from using a full band to playing, singing and producing most of the tracks himself with a few select collaborators. The result is a much more varied and tighter sounding record than his first one, but it’s still nowhere close to hearing him live which I highly recommend if you have the chance!

The invisible friends from Venezuela are back with a mini-album of tasty leftovers from their previous release “Commercial”, this one is funnily enough called “Not So Commercial” (out February 8.). To be honest, this is not their absolute best stuff, but as always there are some really sexy tracks to be found including the tribute song “Corduroy” that really nails the sound of the Acid Jazz pioneers from back in the day. You can listen to a complete preview at the Nacional Records website.
