Editorial STUFF

We have made it our mission to look out for some of THE hottest artists/bands on the planet and bring you unmissable stories by the score…so as we turn-up the heat up on another scintillating online/print issue, you are invited to get cozy and check out our current crop of interview sizzlers…First out of the blocks we have this issue's internationally renowned cover star, Sean Paul. An ever in demand artist who has had hit after hit all over the world and is at present enjoying more single/album chart success, it's a little wonder we jumped at the chance to add this superstar to our cover elite....How do you follow that? Well how about a behind the scenes chat at the 'Love Supreme' festival with Jazz icon in the making, Gregory Porter? Or an in-depth interview with one time member of Tamla (Motown) super group, The Isley Brothers - now highly in demand solo artist, Ronald Isley. While we are at it, why don't we get three members of legendary funk/disco/soul outfit Earth, Wind & Fire together so they can tell you all about their brand new authentic EW&F sounding album…and if that wasn't enough, we go stateside with rap hero Wale, get soul inspired with one of Atlanta's finest Heston, cross genres with jazz (err herm), sorry, soul flower Robin McKelle and have time for a chin-wag with super producer (largely responsible for Emeli Sande's recent phenomenal rise to stardom) and now having chart success in his own right, Naughty boy…I know, this much in a magazine, U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E…Next you'll be telling me that UB40 are here to tell us about their new reggae album full of country and western covers!…well I'm not falling for that one!...we really are pushing our luck as we squeeze in a spotlight on a star to look out for in 2014 (I know, already!) Joel Compass. Phew! ....Talking of the end of the year…we are already looking forward to bringing you our end of year special in November. We have lined-up some absolute cracking interviews from the best established artists out there, along with some fresh faces who we feel will be huge in 2014…see you then! Lee TylerB&S
