Drawing inspiration from legends like Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, as well as contemporary artists such as Jalen Ngonda and Thee Sacred Souls, Don West brings a fresh yet timeless sound to modern soul.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nHis self-titled, debut EP was released in November 2024 and is now available for the first time on vinyl. Across the EP, themes of self-reflection, relationships, and emotional honesty take center stage. He leans into understated lyricism, favoring simplicity and nuance over dramatic expression. This approach gives the songs a personal edge while keeping them open and relatable, allowing listeners to find their own meaning within the music. Australia's only Spotify Radar Artist for 2025, West has already been nominated for Australian Independent Records Awards for Best Soul\/RnB Release and APRA AMCOS Most Performed Soul\/RnB Work.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    Tracks\u003cbr\u003e\r\n    Credits\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e    Label:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWest Recording Company – DWEP1\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFormat:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nVinyl, 12\", EP, Reissue\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCountry:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAustralia\u003cbr\u003e\r\nReleased:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nJun 2026\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGenre:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFunk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003e\r\nStyle:\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA1        Rather Be Lonely\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        Small Change\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Friends\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        What Turns You On\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        No. 5\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        Wasted Gold\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLicensed To – Mandatory Music\u003cbr\u003e\r\nArtwork – Dan Rushford\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBacking Vocals – Anisha Okpalanze (tracks: A1, B1), Jenaya Okpalanze (tracks: A1, B1)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nDrums, Percussion, Bass, Keyboards, Synthesizer, Guitar – Nathan Hawes\u003cbr\u003e\r\nLacquer Cut By – Rc*\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMastered By – Steve Smart\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPercussion – Patrick Rodgers (tracks: A1, A2, B2, B3)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nProducer, Mixed By, Written-By [Co-Written] – Nathan Hawes\u003cbr\u003e\r\nSaxophone, Written-By [Saxophone Co-Written] – Zac Olsen\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTrombone, Written-By [Trombone Co-Written] – Jacob Parks\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTrumpet, Written-By [Trumpet Co-Written] – William Endicott\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWritten-By [Co-Written], Vocals – Don West (13)\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBarcode (Stickered): 0725806860114\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: NEW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: FUNK\/SOUL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/03\/2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Don West","offers":[{"title":"- FUNK\/SOUL *SEALED*","offer_id":54549692547409,"sku":"M2VDZD-LK3H-00","price":39.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/funk-soul-new_vPUoH.jpg?v=1786502776","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/don-west-presale-7-3-26-west-don-vinyl-mint-mint","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
