Both songs are taken from his last studio album I'm New Here via XL Recordings. R.I.P.

Ruth Koleva - Within Whispers

Ruth Koleva, the bulgatian soul/r&b singer is already well-known here in Bulgaria. Not only because she's super-talented and has a great voice, but also because she competed in the bulgarian Eurovision where she didn't qualify for the finals in Düsseldorf. Her song "Fever" was great but was not appreciated by the jury. I personally think that she doesn't need such musical forums to exhibit her enormous talent because she's way too good for that. Anyways last month Ruth Koleva released her anticipated debut album. Really damn good one if you ask me.

Joy Denalane - MAUREEN In Session

I absolutely love that girl. Beautiful and uber-talented this german soul singer has a voice that always melts my heart. I felt in love with her music since "Let Go" off her second album Born & Raised released in 2006 and ever since I'm a fan (as well as some very influential hip-hop artists). Well she's back with Maureen, her third album expected to hit shelves in late May. Joy Denalane already released live sessions performing songs from her new album. Honestly the new material is outstanding. The three new tracks sound great and Joy delivers some great performances as always. Really can't wait to hear the whole album.
