Orange Tree Records are a new UK-based label aimed at promoting the best original soul and hip-hop music from the UK. To celebrate the launch they have released a five-track EP entitled Fresh Fruit Vol.1, which will be the first in a series of compilations showcasing underground British talent. The collection includes tracks from up-and-coming soul singer Louise Golbey, doctor-by-day-MC-by-night Chima Anya, and singer songwriter Simon Middleton. Check out two of my favorites from the EP below and be sure to support those who support real music.

Simon Middleton: "Superficial"

Louise Golbey feat. 3rd Person: "Same Old Same Old"
