Introducing Dionne Bromfield ..... Here comes the protégée

This is the debut album of Amy Winehouse's God daughter and this is a real promising one from what I've heard so far. I can't deny that the 13 year old girl has talent ( maybe more than some of today's so called artists ). I'm curious to hear what she will sound like in 10 years i know i'm being impatient and rushing things but I'm sure it can only be better and better but so far a 13 year old singing vintage soul music this way that's already quite impressive. One thing is sure I gotta have this album !!

Here's a link for a quick preview of her album

All 4 One

No no you're not dreaming!! All 4 One the band that gave us the great " I swear " a decade ago. They're back with a brand new album that was released on September 15th. And you know what ?! they still got it. This record is filled with these dramatic ballads only great male groups can sing "If your heart not in it", "My child" and with that little touch of retro R&B like in " You don't know nothing". But they also can make it contemporary like with that auto-tuned ( yeah I know ) song " Go" or " Regrets".So far my favorite one is " When I needed an angel" .

For a little recap here's " I swear" back in 1994

DISCOVERY Inna Modja,the soul sensation from Africa

I just discovered this girl from Africa this week on TV with her first video " Mister H" ( watch below) and I was curious and wanted to know more.

Inna means " Bad girl" in a language from Mali,West Africa ( beautiful country by the way ). She started singing in a choir at age 6 and influenced by the music her father listened ( Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald...) she decided she wanted to be a singer.

Her universe is a mix of Blues, Pop, Soul, Folk, Disco and it's refreshing!! I like her voice, her style and great sensibility.Her song " Please Dad" is just beautiful!!Her first album will be released on October 5th digitally and in stores on October 19th. And I think she deserves a great success. She's as talented as others great voices from Africa such as Ayo or Nneka. She even had been compared to Amy Winehouse or Duffy in the belgian edition of the magazine Elle.
