New Music June 2021

Every month (CLICK HERE for the last one) I post some of the music that’s really grabbed my attention. Most of it is new. Sometimes it’s an older track I’ve missed. Occasionally it’s something from an advert – once is actually an advert with not much music, just a guy reading a speech. Anyway, here’s new music June 2021 is a pretty good month.

John Mayer ~ Last Train Home

A new John Mayer track from his upcoming album ‘Sob Rock’. John Mayer is an artist who has never really crossed over in the UK but I’ve been a fan for over 20 years since he first came on my radar. His “relationships” have made him a bit of a reputation in America but he has always delivered great albums. If you don’t know him and like this track I recommend you go down the YouTube rabbit hole – there’s a lot to discover.

Diana Ross ~ Thank You

More brand new material from someone who’s been away for a while! Actually, way more than a “someone” – a legend who should have been touring the world for the last year – indeed, she would have been playing the” Legends” spot as Glastonbury last year.
Taken from her first new album in 15 years, which is now due in September, – Ladies and Gentleman this is Miss Diana Ross “Thank You”!

Diplo & Damian Lazarus – Don’t Be Afraid (feat. Jungle)

If you read these blog posts regularly, you will know I’m a big fan of the act/collective/band Jungle. This is their latest collaboration, the time with American DJ, producer, artist Diplo and Damian Lazarus.

Most of you will have heard of American DJ, producer, artist Diplo who is no stranger to the charts with numerous guest singers.

Googling the latter his website says “Damian Lazarus not only one of the most respected exponents of the contemporary house and techno scene but also one of its key tastemakers and pathfinders.”

P.S. Diplo is short for Diplodocus – from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs!

Jam & Lewis feat Mariah Carey ~ Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin’ My Heart) 

Mariah Carey has teamed up with legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to release a new single. The song is from Jam & Lewis’ upcoming debut studio album as recording artists, and will also feature songs with Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men and Morris Day, and Toni Braxton. This one is a real grower.

Shapeshifters feat Aria Lyric ~ YOLO

Simon from Shapeshifters is back with another great single, this time featuring New Jersey singer songwriter Aria Lyric on vocals. ‘You Only Live Once’ is another uplifting dance track guaranteed to fill the club dance floors of the world as we return from our numerous quarantines, lock downs and isolations.

And that’s my quick look at new music June 2021. Don’t forget I have my weekly radio show with Gary (CLICK HERE) where you can hear these and many more great songs from the last 60 years … because life sounds better to music.
