Some I bought and others have been sent to me ..read more

Deborah Jordan & K15 - Human Someone has been busy during the pandemic. Deborah Jordan has been turning out project after project and they are all fantastic! The latest is a collaboration between her and Kieron Ifill aka K15. Jordan is no slouch when it comes to songwriting and laying down fantastic vocals. Ifill in his own right is a top notch producer that pushes the boundaries of alternative soul and jazz soundscapes. So it really makes sense for them to collaborate on an entire album. They have worked together in the past but they were songs here and there on various Jordan projects ..read more
