I Feel for You is the fifth solo studio album by American R&B/funk singer Chaka Khan, released on the Warner Bros. Records label in 1984. The title track, "I Feel for You" was a cover of a 1979 Prince track, featuring Grandmaster Melle Mel on the classic "Ch-ch-ch-chaka-chaka-chaka Khan" rap intro and Stevie Wonder on chromatic harmonica (and also a sample from one of his first hits, "Fingertips") and saw Khan embracing high-tech funk, rap and hip hop and stands as one of her best known songs and her biggest commercial hit, reaching number 3 on the US Pop chart (and becoming the Billboard number 5 best-selling song of the year in 1985), and topped the US R&B, Dance, and UK singles charts.

Veteran jazz producer Creed Taylor decided to sign Nina Simone to his record label after seeing her perform live in 1977 at Drury Lane, and together they would record "Baltimore," Simone's first album since 1974's It Is Finished. Sessions for the album were very tense, with Simone disagreeing with Taylor's production choices—particularly his interest in a reggae sound, which first caused Simone to ask "What is this corny stuff?" Simone's difficult behavior delayed production, but she would eventually record her vocals for the album in a single hour-long sitting.

Diamond Life is the debut studio album by English band Sade. It was first released in the United Kingdom on 16 July 1984 by Epic Records and in the United States on 27 February 1985 by Portrait Records. After studying fashion design, and later modelling, Sade Adu began backup singing with British band Pride. During this time Adu and three of the original members of "Pride"—Paul Anthony Cook, Paul Denman and Stuart Matthewman—left the group to form their own band called Sade.

Fresh from a run of successful albums and tours with The Pineapple Thief, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and frontman Bruce Soord began recording his second solo album in April 2019; and in a rich vein of creativity he produced a fine successor to 2016 debut Bruce Soord. The new album, All This Will Be Yours, builds on Soord's momentum gained by TPT's multiple headline Europe and UK tours in support of 2018 UK #1 Rock album Dissolution and 2016 summer hit album Your Wilderness. Dissolution also reached #22 in the German album chart, #4 in the Netherlands Platomania album chart and #14 in the Finland album chart. A prolific musician, Soord has also previously collaborated with Katatonias Jonas Renkse on fan-favourite album Wisdom of Crowds and produced 5.1 mixes for the likes of Katatonia, Opeth & Anathema.

Briton Rex Orange County first became known to the general public after taking part in the track Tyler, The Creator "Boredom". Tyler has a special love for artists who record non-standard, but very emotional music. He mixes jazz, soul, classical, baroque pop, hip-hop and electronica in his sound, so it is easier to classify it as an alternative to streaming platforms and publications. It seems that this is how the artist who grew up on the work of Stevie Wonder, Weezer and Queen should sound like this.

'Letters Under Floorboards' is the highly anticipated follow-up to Hannah Rose Platt's critically acclaimed debut success 'Portraits'. The new album features 11 tracks of original material, this time fusing Platt's celebrated lyrical story-telling with striking and arresting personal narratives. Co-produced and performed by Hannah Rose Platt and AMAUK Musician of the Year Thomas Collison, the album features guest vocal contributions from alt-country pioneer Sid Griffin and the multi-award winning Danny George Wilson. 'Letters Under Floorboards' was mixed by acclaimed producer/musician Jay Stapley (Roger Waters, Mike Oldfield).

Six Lethargies is the culmination of over three years of work from the musician, artist and composer. Composed around, and from within, issues of mental illness and human emotion, the piece aims to express and explain the feelings of anxiety and depression through six connected movements for string orchestra.

NZ's most-loved musical collective, Fly My Pretties, are set to release The Studio Recordings Part One. With a rich history as a live act, this album represents the first studio recordings in their 15 year history, and presents some of their finest tracks in a new setting. Featuring members of The Black Seeds, The Phoenix Foundation, Hollie Smith, Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo), LA Mitchell (Terrible Sons), and more.

'Brightness' is the self-titled sophomore LP from Sydney artist Alex Knight, recorded in upstate New York with producer Sam Griffin Owens (Cass McCombs, Chris Cohen, Sam Evian), Regarding the recording process, Knight affirms "the location and pairing (with Owens) couldn't have been more fitting". The location was specifically, 'Spillway Sound', a freshly opened studio nestled in the Catskills, a spread of nature known to stir wonder in those who've beheld it, from the addled attendees of Woodstock Festival, to 19th century transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Having already shared singles 'Dallas' and 'Year Of The Goat', the 'Brightness' LP marks the first glimpse of Knight's follow up on 2017's 'Teething' (a work which Pitchfork described as a "dry, beautiful debut"). If his first two singles are any indication, we can expect a sophomore record of deeper contour, contrast and confidence.
