    New Track: Selah Sue – “Ragamuffin” ft. J.Cole + Debut Album & US Tour

    May 16th, 2012

    Blending pop, soul, funk and reggae, Selah Sue’s music is never dull. The reggae vibes are strong and absolutely groove worthy on the new “Raggamuffin” track featuring J.Cole and a little treatment by Supa Dups – it premiered today on Hot 97, and we’ve got it for streaming below!

    Selah’s self-titled debut album is already multi-platinum in parts of Europe, having earned its place in top 10 charts in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The US version of the album will include three exclusive tracks: “On the Run,” “Break,” and “Fade Away.” On the album people can expect collaborations with J.Cole, Cee-Lo Green, Jerry Wonda, and Meshell Ndegeocello.

    And after watching that video for “This World” in April, we’re basically in total adoration of the Belgian singer – act like you don’t want to hug her right now.

    Look out for Selah’s album to drop in the US on August 21. In the meantime, catch the rising star on tour, which will include The Roots Picnic on June 3!

    April 4th, 2012

     

    Grammy nominated DC soul singer Wayna has blessed us with the opportunity to share a gorgeous remix for her follow-up to Billie Holiday’s “Good Morning Heartache.” Called “So Long Heartache,” the tune starts off coy and slowed down with a cover of the original tune and then picks up into a modern soul groove with a bright beat and a feature from DC lyricist W. Ellington Felton. Loving it – the lady got some pipes and flavor to spare! Stream the track below.
