An interview with Soul Star Carmen Rodgers who has just released her first single, Again and Again ahead of her fourth studio album set for release January 2021.  Lots to explore here in terms of early years to present.  Carmen is genuinely excited for this project to be released and we can sense it could be her best work to date if the quality of the first single is anything to go by.

We love the Moniker attributed to Myles Sanko - love child of Soul Music.  Simon P talks to the exciting Soul Man ahead of his fourth studio album, 'Memories of Love' which is slated for release March 2021.  If the first two tracks are anything to go by 'Rainbow in your cloud' and 'Freedom is you', we are in for treat.

Myles reflects on his career to date which has seen him tour all over the world.  Everything about this artist has class written all over it.  From innovative ways to engage with fans, fatherhood and formative years.  It's all here.

If you love Soul music we strongly suggest that you keep an eye on Myle's forthcoming music as we certainly expect him to win the hearts of many more on his amazing journey and career ambition to releasing 15 studio albums.  We're almost one third of the way there and it feels like he is only just coming into his own.
