SID BATHAM - ALL LIES
At the close of a year where soulful male vocalists finally got the UK's attention through some high profile, and at-the-time ambitious dance collaborations from Disclosure & Sam Smith, and Rudimental & John Newman, there is an inundation of impressive male vocal talent emerging, and about time. London's Sid Batham needs no feature spot to ease him in, as "All Lies" is a magnificent and melodramatic balls-to-the-wall debut effort, that has 90s Soul/R&B searing through it's veins."All Lies" is out now on iTunes.

YASMIN GREEN - INTO THE NIGHT
Whilst male vocalists are becoming more histronic and melodramatic in their quest for chart success, it seems that a subtle female vocal has more pull than a belty one as 2013 closes. London's husky voiced Yasmin Green's debut track "Into The Night" has the primitive drum machine and synth bass of Sade's "No Ordinary Love", but with the sexy, calming delivery that Jessie Ware brought to the style. The track passes by in a daze, and unlike Ware, Yasmin Green seems unaware of her own brilliance, and the vocal is delivered with refreshingly little pretense or melodrama. In an era where vocalists use melismatics rather than tone to express emotion, Yasmin's vocal style is simple, honest and effective. And rather fearless as a result.You can download "Into The Night" for free from HERE.
