Jonathan Butler - Grace and Mercy - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2010 from the acclaimed guitarist and vocalist. So Strong is simply put- so strong! The first single (and title track) already made an impact at Urban Adult Contemporary and is a marvelous, hip slice of his powerful vocals over an infectious, driving rhythm. Smooth Jazz radio gets a taste too with the Benson-esque InchMake Room for MeInch and the inspirational InchYou Got to Believe SomethingInch is a musical credo that won't let you down. So Strong, we hope you will agree, isn't just worth the wait, it's worth the weight in soul.

February 2023 marked the arrival of an album that's redefining the sound of soul for a new generation October London's The Rebirth of Marvin. Signed to Death Row Records by Snoop Dogg, the 2025 Grammy nominated October London channels the spirit of Marvin Gaye in this homage to one of music's most soulful voices, capturing both Gaye's timeless influence and London's own unique artistry. Reflecting on the project, October London shared, InchDear Marvin, I'm not trying to be you. That's impossible. You're one of a kind. I just want to pay homage to you, brotha. You paved the way for this sound, and I'm just here to make sure they don't forget.Inch The album's lead single 'Back to Your Place' has already topped the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart, captivating listeners and earning three Soul Train Music Award nominations. From his beginnings as a rising artist under Snoop Dogg's mentorship to his place as a force in modern R&B, October London's journey has led to this pivotal moment. The Rebirth of Marvin is both a tribute and an evolution, a soulful reminder of the legacy Gaye left behind - and of the new pathways London is creating for it today.
