 Hi @padrow

 I was able to reproduce the issue on trunk using the URL you provided;
 https://soundcloud.com/richard-stringer-1/god-of-all-grace

 Initially, I was inclined to open a ticket on the
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues Gutenberg repo] but upon a
 deeper dive found the issue to be creator preference. It seems the
 `richard-stringer-1` user on Soundcloud has disabled the embed
 capabilities on that song which is why the Soundcloud Block fails it's
 Embed request.

 If you know the owner of the account on Soundcloud you could request they
 enable embed for the song;
 https://help.soundcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003448567-Displaying-an-
 embed-code-for-your-track
 *There is a note about existing players using the track can continue using
 it which may be why it was functioning for the shortcode.
 "Please note: Making the embed code private will not disable embedded
 players for that track that are already being used."

 As this is a setting disabling the behaviour from Soundcloud I'm going to
 close this issue as invalid. If I've missed the target feel free to reopen
 the issue for further discussion.
