The Essential UK Gospel Tracklist – October 2013
I won’t lie. I could blame a whole host of things for not posting an ‘Essential Tracklist’ in a while, but the truth is that I haven’t found much to excite me in 2013.

If some of the music I’m hearing (both new and imminent releases) is anything to go by, then it’s pretty safe to say 2012 has already kicked into high gear! E Tizz’s ‘What I Gotta Say’ is an absolutely sterling example. The bar is set quite high with this one: ‘the Doctor’, Grammy-nominated GP of DVine Muzic Productions is again at the helm of affairs, and the overall … Continue reading New E Tizz album ‘What I Gotta Say’ – out February 7th on iTunes

The recent holiday season was amazing.
If you were shrewd enough in your planning, you might even have been one of those people with an 11-day holiday stretch. I’m not jealous.

If you have even the flimsiest of connections to the UK gospel scene then you probably know that ‘Still Livin”, Jahaziel’s new mixtape, is due out next week.
In the meantime, there had been rumours of an official pre-release ‘leak’ from his camp recently, and the rumours finally became fact overnight when I woke up to ‘Broken’ (featuring Roccstar) in my inbox this morning. Continue reading “Official music leak: Jahaziel is ‘Broken’”
