This little lady is fast becoming my favourite live performer on London’s Soul circuit. The singer songwriter from West London is currently causing quite a stir! The business and Law graduate has been focusing on Music for quite sometime now having had the opportunities to perform with the likes of Raphael Saadiq, Kano, Estelle, Faith Evans, touring with Al Green and Gabrielle and working with well respected producers Bugz In The Attic and 4Hero has a wealth of experience and is now beginning to show everyone what she is all about.
Her EP Introduction To Miss Charles features production from UK Favourites Truth Movement and Colin Emmanuel aka “Black Einstein” and is a slice of quality RnB Soul with a distinct UK flavouring over it. Highlights include “Your My Boy”, “My Journey” and the standout single “You Are The One” checkout the excellent video.
Dopeness indeed but its Live where my girl is really killing it. Backed by a full band she has been rocking crowds with her sublime vocals and authentic Soul sound. The band are ridiculous with some mean grooves, runs and stabs and just simply tight as HELL! Whilst Nadine’s voice floats over the music commanding you’re attention. Here’s a recent clip of her performing at Aesthetic Sounds supporting Glen Lewis.
Love it! She is doing what a lot of UK artists are failing to bringing that quality on all levels. Good recordings, good video and good live set you can’t go wrong. She’ll be supporting Marsha Ambrosius @ Dingwalls Camden on Dec 27 get tickets here and get hold of her EP at Bandcamp below. I suggest you get to know about Nadine Charles.

Now this is what you call a Christmas song! We know that Mar is DAT GUY!!! and his variation of Lil Waynes ‘Single’ is one of my tracks of the year. This was in my inbox on Thursday but life gets in the way of getting ish out..,ya dig. Better late than never…enjoy and have a good Christmas folks.
Brand newness from Brainfeeder’s very own Tokimonsta – my ears really like this one. Thumping beats, funky baselines, off key vocal samples, if you got big speakers of bad-man headphones, play this into your dome. You’ll do good with it.
This dropped earlier, the crew have been out filming all day (see: pinboardfilm) so only just getting round to hearing it. Rising star Ed Sheeran joins forces with the one and only Wiley for a new single entitled ‘You’. We’re big supporters of Ed Sheeran’s, we’ve already worked with him on Rehearsal Rooms and so are naturally are excited about seeing him go from strength to strength. This track is real nice, not what I was expecting – I was expecting more of a Wiley influence, but respect that this song remains very much an Ed Sheeran song. Great look. Excited to hear more.
Well hello there! A cheeky bit of ambient disco-pop… it comes in the form of Congratulation-cut ‘Siberian Breaks’. Ed Banger-representatives So Me, Breakbot and Busy P turn in their very own rendition of the song. Lubbly Jubbly. Available to purchase here
Silky, swagged out new number from our Detroit homeboy Illa J. A mix of floating synths, eager bass and mischievous percussion courtesy of Young RJ. Topical stuff in the form of fidelity matters. Vibe with it and remember to behave yourselves folks.
