Lira’s fourth album Return To Love delivers on so many levels. The first single is one of our favorite tracks of the season. After “Phakade” will come “When I Dance.” It’s a lovely uptempo track that ushers in summer moods. We say exclusive because she tweeted us directly. We hope there’s a great breezy video to match.

The Floacist releases debut album!

The other half of Floetry is trying to get a piece of the pie. Since Marsha Ambrosius is all over the place now, the rapper or “floacist” is trying to make it to. This is the cover to her new release. We are not that excited for it as we are more into vocalists than spoken word/ rap. Still, it’s worth a mention.
Beverley Knight debuts tracks from her new album “Soul UK”
1We personally think that Beverley Knight is one of the most underrated singers of our time. We have followed her religiously and own everything she has done. Unfortunately, she could be carrying UK soul single-handedly these days (No Alexandra Burke is not consider soul music in our book). This is a special release. Soul UK is a covers album that compiles the best of soul and R&B from the United Kingdom. The country might not be known for it, but it sure has some great hidden gems. Had these artists had support and exposure in the US, they would be “mega” as we would like to say these days.
Paloma Faith working on new album!

The news is a-buzzin’ that one of Loft965′s favorites is in the studio laying some new tracks for her sophomore album. The singer who produced Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? has everyone waiting for the sophomore. We loved that record, but we are more in love with Paloma Faith‘s visual image. We look forward to the new project and hope to see it by the end of the year.
