Hello! Welcome to episode 17 of the Essential Music Sessions. This week, we continue with the ‘Top 5 Newbies of the Week’ segment featuring new cuts from Robert Glasper, Ego Ella May, SassyBlack, Anomalie & Masego, and Moonchild. The focus then shifts over to R&B/Soul songstress Ali Levy as we delve deeper into her “Warning Signs” EP. Lastly, we pay tribute to Phoenix the DJ (a friend to the podcast) with a dedication mix that also featured on his Unpacked Deeper Rhythm podcast. Be sure to check out the music on all your streaming platforms and, while you’re at it, follow the podcast as well on Spotify. Take care and, as always, see you in the next one. Peace! ♥

Think of this podcast as not just another podcast about the hippest, most popular songs, but more, rather, of a curated playlist of new and undiscovered music, because that’s exactly what it is: a curated playlist. Complied and hosted by Nkully Luphindo, the ‘Essential Music Sessions’ podcast aims to bridge the gap between you (the listener) and the artist by putting the spotlight on unknown and deserving talent.
