Mr. Unavailable (feat Isaac Malibu) - (4:00) 88 BPM
Review: Ruby Wood hails from Huddersfield in West Yorkshire, studied jazz at Leeds Conservatoire and is best known as the vocalist for Submotion Orchestra. She does also work as a solo artist, though, as this new five-track EP for London-based hip-hop, soul and jazz label First Word ably demonstrates. Mellow neo-soul/R&B with hints of both jazz and hip-hop is the order of the day generally, with Ms Wood's mellifluous vox obviously front and centre - though she's not afraid to share the stage with others, namely fellow Leeds vocalist Isaac Malibu, who guests on 'Mr Unavailable', and her own baby daughter Amber, whose coos and gurgles grace 'Me And My Girl'.

Let It! (Rebecca Vasmant remix) - (5:23) 121 BPM
Review: 'Broken beat' is a pretty broad spectrum but whatever style you're into, Melbourne-based Allysha Joy has you covered. 'Still Dreaming' (as remixed by Shy One) has a garage-y, Donna Dee-ish kinda feel, while Risa T's rerub of 'Calling You' takes us closer to soul-jazz territory. 'Fatima' (remixed by Emmavie) then has more of a downtempo, melancholy pop feel, while finally for those who demand only the most out-there, cutting-edge rhythms, the haunting, fractured jazz of 'Let It!' (remixed by Rebecca Vasmant) should do the trick. Interesting stuff all round, with 'Still Dreaming' the pick to these ears.
