The rhythms and the melody will have you singing and dancing while listening to Lagos Lullabye from SIJI’s latest Sunchild EP (November 2014). SIJI uses his own flavor of R&B and soul to create wonderful music. Beneath the friendly beats and melodies lies sadness and hope: The twilight calls to prayer On my soul so soothing Count me worthy, make me strong to last yet Another day in Lagos Sings SIJI on the second verse of Lagos Lullabye. SIJI’s vocals are a clear and warm, high baritone that lend just…
Read MoreNote: The video no longer exists and there is no replacement for it. Most of the band’s other links are also dead. You may recall The Aquaducks fun fusion of jazz, rock, and r&b, from about a year ago when we highlighted the single, Fuel The Funk.

The Pepper Pots make R&B and Soul that moves and rocks in a way that was popular in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s and is still more than relevant today. Enter, Good Times from the bands 2013 released long player, We Must Fight. The Pepper Pots have been playing 60’s and 70’s flavored R&B and Soul tinged pop music in their native Spain since 2004. They’ve just recently announced that they will be…
Read MoreCombining elements of modern rock and rhythm and blues, Hot Bodies In Motion from Seattle, Washington, lay out a tight groove as heard (seen) here on Darkness, from the band’s January 2013 EP, Principle A. While short in track number and length (4 songs clocking in at just under 14 minutes), this a rich and full sounding collection of bluesy, R&B goodness. There is little info to be found about the band, however, either from their web site, or from their…
