More complaining and dripping self\u2011pity? No SonicSoul user these days needs that \u2014 people\u2019s senses are generally tuned to high\u2011quality music, not to dry, overcooked noodling around the supposed topic. Good thing we\u2019ve once again managed to shift our blockages elsewhere. So be it \u2014 here are our reliable four for this weekend. &#8211; <strong>SOULPERSONA<\/strong> has once again teamed up with <strong>BRYAN CORBETT<\/strong>, using <em>Aurora<\/em> to set the 2026 jazz\u2011funk standard. Exceptionally smart playing and arranging, and the elegant production crowns the never\u2011ending flow. &#8211; Joe Cang, Danny Schogger and Phil Thornalley are once again heading down the Brit\u2011Soul path as <strong>JONSON, JONSON &amp; JONSON<\/strong>. The fact that the trio is also \u201cBack To The Buffet\u201d is something they let us experience through a carefully assembled soul menu. Fine songs in timeless sonic realms. And when our Hi\u2011Lite appears on the menu as <em>Blessed Are The Cake Makers<\/em>, we can be quite sure we\u2019re being served in the very best way. &#8211;<strong>WASHINGTON<\/strong> from London\u2019s East End is brand\u2011new on our playlist. A beautifully balanced m\u00e9lange of soul and jazz that skillfully avoids all the everyday clich\u00e9s. Remarkable, this <em>Monday Blues<\/em>. &#8211; Let\u2019s stay in gastronomy and switch to our preferred coffee counter. It\u2019s there that Gina Jane and Jay Lobo met during their shared barista days \u2014 an encounter that ultimately led to their collaboration as <strong>GEEJAY<\/strong>. Back in March they already impressed us with their album <em>Who Have I Become<\/em> \u2014 now, with <em>I Am Human<\/em>, they emphatically commit to their very own soul\u2011pop recipe. We\u2019ll surely enjoy it often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noch ein Lied voller Klage? Mehr Lamentieren und triefendes Selbstmitleid? Braucht sicher kein Nutzer dieser Zeiten, denen die Sinne im Allgemeinen nach Hochwert-Musik stehen, und eben nicht auf trockenes Ge-Schmurgel rund ums eigentlich Thema. Wie gut, dass wir unsere Blockaden wieder einmal erfolgreich anderweitig verschoben haben. Sei&#8217;s drum &#8211; hier sind unsere zuverl\u00e4ssigen 4 dieses Wochenendes. <strong>SOULPERSONA<\/strong> hat sich ein weiteres Mal mit <strong>BRYAN CORBETT<\/strong> getroffen, um mittels &#8222;Aurora&#8220; den 2026er Jazz-Funk-Standard zu setzen. \u00c4u\u00dferst klug gespielt und arrangiert, die elegante Produktion setzt dem nicht-enden-wollenden Flow die Krone auf. &#8211; Joe Cang, Danny Schogger und Phil Thornalley machen sich als <strong>JONSON, JONSON &amp; JONSON<\/strong> ein weiteres Mal auf den Brit-Soul-Weg. Dass das Trio dabei auch &#8222;Back To The Buffet&#8220; ist l\u00e4sst es uns mittels eines sorgf\u00e4ltig zusammengestellen Soul-Menu miterleben. Feine Songs in zeitlosen Sound-Gefilden. Und wenn dann auch noch unsere Hi-Lite als &#8222;Blessed Are The Cake Makers&#8220; auf der Karte, k\u00f6nnen wir ganz sicher davon ausgehen, dass wir hier allerbestens bedient werden. &#8211; Der <strong>WASHINGTON<\/strong> aus dem  Londoner East End steht bei uns ganz frisch auf der Spielliste. Bestens ausgewogene Melange aus Soul und Jazz, die geschickt jegliche Allerwelts-Noten umkurvt. Bemerkenswert, dieser &#8222;Monday Blues&#8220;.  &#8211; Bleiben wir in der Gastronomie, und wechseln in unsere bevorzugten Kaffee-Ausschank. Dortselbst haben sich Gina Jane und Jay Lobo w\u00e4hrend ihrer gemeinsamen Barista-Zeit kennengelernt &#8211; ein Zusammentreffen, dass letztendlich im Zusammenspiel als <strong>GEEJAY <\/strong>f\u00fchrte. Im M\u00e4rz konnten sie uns schon mittels ihres &#8222;Who Have I Become&#8220; Albums beeindrucken &#8211; jetzt bekennen sie sich durch &#8222;I Am Human&#8220; nachdr\u00fccklich zu ihrer ganz eigenen Soul-Pop-Rezeptur. Lassen wir uns sicher \u00f6fters schmecken!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: I Am Human\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0pI9nSJdUDgpG7rwc7B4CE?si=8eb83b578b0942c5&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Back to the Buffet\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/1wzLd1opUGkbarDIu788KF?si=ZAwDNZ5BR7SysfCaFBl6dg&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Monday Blues\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7CN0lS3pAOUeK2lsAVnMBO?si=274a4e125782421f&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soulpersona.bandcamp.com\/album\/aurora\">https:\/\/soulpersona.bandcamp.com\/album\/aurora<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another song full of lament?
