We Speak R&B
We are Cruisin with Ol’ June…
NEW MUSIC RELEASE!
On October, 20th 2023, up and coming soul music artist, Ol’ June, released his third single with the sophisticated sound of “Cruisin”. On “Cruisin”, Ol’ June’s voice is reminiscent of Marvin Gaye. His tone and ability to hold beautiful notes is only matched by his vocal range and seemingly effortless breath control. He layers his own background harmonies like a veteran. This song is written by Ol’ June, whose birth name is Julian Wilcoxson; with music production by Antoine Franklin. Ol’ June’s vocal performance is flawless as he sings about love, hope and compassion for his people. While this song may seem like just another smooth groove, it does speak to social injustice and encouragement for social change. In a world where today’s R&B music I lacking in heart and soul, “Cruisin” delivers what true soul music should sound like. Ol’ June is the beginning of a resurgence of pure soul music.
When asked about what inspired him to write “Cruisin”, he responded “When I first heard Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” I thought to myself, what has changed since 1971? Although I was not even born, the same trials exist. Similarly, when I heard , “Someday We’ll All Be Free” by Donny Hathaway, my people in 2023 are still not free and being disregarded and abused. In “Cruisin”, I expand upon how these subjects are still relevant today. Socially charged and aggressive, “Cruisin” displays the pain of being a black person in 2023.”
“Cruisin” is available on all music streaming platforms!

Shelana Azora and Richandell Turn Betrayal Into Power With Bold New Single “Can’t Trust”
What happens when trust is broken but you find yourself stronger on the other side? Shelana Azora and Richandell (pronunced Ree-SHEN-dul) explore that moment of clarity on their powerful new collaboration “Can’t Trust”, a soulful R&B and hip-hop fusion built on honesty, confidence, and moving forward.
Blending Shelana’s emotive vocals with Richandell’s smooth, rhythm-driven production, the track captures the shift from heartbreak to self-respect. It’s vulnerable without being defeated, turning disappointment into a reminder that knowing your worth can be the ultimate comeback.
Produced entirely by Richandell, “Can’t Trust” showcases his ability to create a space where emotion and groove exist side by side. Drawing from R&B, hip-hop, and global influences, the production gives Shelana room to deliver a performance that feels both intimate and fearless.
For Shelana, the track represents a new chapter built around confidence, boundaries, and embracing every part of her artistry. Moving between singing and rap, she brings the honesty and energy shaped by years performing in London’s vibrant music scene.
The collaboration began with instant creative chemistry during a studio session in Amsterdam, eventually leading the pair to record at the legendary Wisseloord Studios. What started as a spontaneous connection grew into a cross-border partnership built on shared vision and trust, even if the song itself is about losing it.
With “Can’t Trust”, Shelana Azora and Richandell prove that some of the hardest moments can create the strongest music. It’s a song about betrayal, but more importantly, it’s a song about reclaiming yourself.
