Zo

ManMade
Hard Boiled, 2013. New Copy
We've been digging Zo for many years, and knew he was a superstar right from the start – but this time around, he blows us away even more than ever! The album's got a special spark that goes beyond even all the great music Zo's given us before – and even past his work with Foreign ...

Brand New Heavies

Forward
Shanachie, 2013. New Copy
Brand New Heavies back in action – and sounding every bit as great as always! The group still has that sublime mix of soul, jazz, and funk that's made them so great right from the start – a mode that's steeped in classic influences from the 60s and 70s, yet finds a way to come out ...

Georgia Anne Muldrow & Dudley Perkins (G&D)

Lighthouse
Someothaship, 2013. New Copy
A lighthouse of soul and spirit from the duo of Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins – coming together here in a mode that has both artists at the top of their game! The album's got a dense, layered feel that really lives up to the image on the cover – and definitely has the sort of ...

131 Entertainment, 2005. Used
...
cover art  
Vibration Vineyard, 2012. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Ten years since his underground Headphone Masterpiece and Cody Chesnutt is finally back with a proper follow up – one that has a more fully-fleshed out production – and it's pretty damn great! There's some striking differences in approach, but thankfully, the idiosyncratic creative ...
cover art  
Giant Step, 2000. Very Good (pic cover)
Atlanta's Seek have been a big hit with Dusty Groove fans for their smooth funky classic soul style – and that style's made even better here by extra remixes! The track "Surrender" is offered up here in 2 versions – one given a housey tip by Ron Trent, the original done in a ...

Maysa (Maysa Leak)

Sweet Classic Soul
Shanachie, 2006. Used
Timeless soul from Maysa – who here lends her sweet molasses vocals to numbers made famous by Stevie Wonder, Teddy Pendergrass, The Isley Brothers, Chaka Khan, The Stylistics, Roberta Flack and others! Maysa fully employs the sophisticated mellow soul approach on this set – befitting ...

Teodross Avery Quartet

In Other Words
GRP, 1994. Used
...
cover art  
Acid Jazz (UK), 1989. Very Good+
Early, early work from the Heavies, with their original singer Jay Ella Ruth, working a tight funky groove that's very much like a slicked up James Brown sound, rather than the poliched modern soul vibe they'd move towards later. ...
cover art  

Raheem DeVaughn

Love Behind The Melody
Jive, 2008. Used
Damn great work from Raheem DeVaughn – the full promise of his soulful sojourn in the underground mixtape scene! Raheem first got his start laying down vocals over beats and other folks' tracks on self-crafted CDs that changed hands covertly in the east coast scene – and that ...
cover art  
Expansion (UK), 2013. New Copy 3 CDs
Soulful luxury at a mighty nice price – 3CDs and 35 tracks of music from both the contemporary underground, and back in the day! The package is one of the best so far in this annual series – and like the others, it has a great way of turning up unusual numbers we might have missed ...
cover art  

Otis & Shugg

We Can Do Whatever
Expansion (UK), 1996. New Copy
The long-overdue release of an album that should have been a Neo Soul classic! The team of Otis Cooper and Shugg David recorded this gem of a set back in the mid 90s along with help from longtime friend and producer Raphael Saadiq – but due to shifting priorities at the major label, the set ...
cover art  

DJ Kemit

Everlasting
Purpose, 2012. New Copy
A smoking little set from DJ Kemit – done in that great old school mode we used to love – in which a hip producer gets vocal help from a range of key contemporary singers! Vocals here are from the best of the best – Eric Roberson, N'Dambi, Osunlade, Frank McComb, Lady Alma, Carl ...
cover art  
Motown, 2002. Used
A great second album from India Arie – sweet, smooth, soulful, and one we like even better than the first! The style is wonderful – a mix of warm vocals, spare production, and acoustic guitar – which gives the set a folksy quality that really offsets the smooth backings nicely. ...
cover art  
Dome (UK), 2003. Used
A tasty sampling of tracks from a label that's really starting to get our attention! Dome started out quite a few years back as one of the few strong UK indie soul labels, but early releases didn't grab us nearly as much as some of their excellent recent work – a range of tracks pulled from ...
cover art  

India Arie

Acoustic Soul
Motown, 2000. Used
An incredible debut – and the birth of a genre! India Arie burst upon the Neo Soul scene with this sweet little set a few years back – and her career's been burning up ever since! The set's got all the best elements of some of the best indie soul of recent years – sweet beats, ...
cover art  

Ronny Jordan

Antidote
4th & Broadway, 1992. Used
A classic bit of London funky guitar from Ronny Jordan – the heir apparent to Grant Green and Ivan Boogaloo Joe Jones – and one of the best new players of his generation! The set takes the older funky guitar styles of the 60s soul jazz generation, and fuses it with a 90s nujazz ...

Raheem DeVaughn

Love Experience
Jive, 2005. Used
An infectious batch of soul tunes from Raheem DeVaughn – his long overdue debut for Jive Records! Raheem stands apart from many in the mainstream soul and neo soul, not because he wears his influences so proudly on his sleeve, but in the way he wears them. Raheem's soul style is born of ...
cover art  

Alice Russell

To Dust
Tru Thoughts (UK), 2013. New Copy
Dusty grooves from Alice Russell – a set that's steeped in heavy soul influences all the way through – from her great vocals on the top, to the tight instrumentation in the middle, to all the heavy drums that keep things kicking on the bottom! The album may well be Russell's tightest ...
cover art  

Onita Boone

Onita Boone
Universal (Germany), 2012. New Copy
A long-overdue debut from Onita Boone – a singer who's worked in the background with many others, but who finally gets her time in the limelight! Onita's got a great way with a lyric – and most of the tunes on the set feature original words by the lady herself – deep and mature, ...
cover art  
Tru Thoughts/Differ-Ant (UK), 2013. New Copy Gatefold
Dusty grooves from Alice Russell – a set that's steeped in heavy soul influences all the way through – from her great vocals on the top, to the tight instrumentation in the middle, to all the heavy drums that keep things kicking on the bottom! The album may well be Russell's tightest ...

Dessy Di Lauro

This Is Neo Ragtime
Crazy Glue Music, 2013. New Copy
Quite a chance for singer Dessy Di Lauro – but no surprise, either – given that Dessy's always been one of the more inventive talents of the underground! The set definitely takes its title seriously – and although served up in a contemporary soul style, the music sometimes echoes ...
cover art  

Coultrain

Jungle Mumbo Jumbo
Plug Research, 2013. New Copy
The long-overdue return of Coultrain – an artist we've been digging right from the start, when he dropped off a pile of handmade CDs as freebies to give away in our store! Since that time, Coultrain has emerged to become one of the freshest talents of the underground – through work ...
cover art  
Record Breakin, 2013. New Copy
Some of the sweetest work we've heard so far from Spinnerty – an EP that really just features three versions each of two tracks, but served up in ways that work together like a mini-suite of sound! "53 Pickup" has some great live drums – which really crackle alongside the ...
cover art  
Universal Republic, 2011. New Copy Gatefold
Mayer Hawthorne moves to the majors on How Do You Do – bringing that fun, neo classic bedroom soul sound he did so well on Stones Throw with him – pretty much picking up right where Strange Arrangement left off! The Mayer Hawthorne story was a strange one from the start – white ...
cover art  

Jose James

No Beginning No End
Blue Note, 2013. New Copy
A great new chapter in the career of Jose James – and a record that really seems to take his already-amazing vocals to a whole new level! In a relatively short career, Jose's already been turning a lot of heads with his work on other projects, his jazz-based recordings, and his debut for ...
cover art  
Naive (France), 2012. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
Continuing proof that Meshell Ndegeocello is one of the most compelling soul singers of the past few decades – as she steps forth here in a tribute to Nina Simone, all with a rich criss-crossing of styles that's unlike any of her previous work! Meshell's vocals are right on the money – ...
cover art  

Nicole Willis

Be It
Sahko/Puu (Finland), 2004. New Copy
A stunner from Nicole Willis – her second album to date, and head and shoulders above the first! The record's a wonderfully dark set of soul tunes – done in a mode that's similar to that of much of the American underground work in recent years – but touched with lots of cosmic ...
cover art  

Nicole Willis

Soul Makeover
Sahko (Finland), 2000. New Copy
A brilliant batch of NuSoul tracks from Jimi Tenor's very talented wife! Jimi's been trying to hit a soulful note for years – but he never really got it right until he hooked up with Nicole Willis, a sweet voiced soulstress with a classic approach to a lyric, crafted here alongside some very ...
cover art  

Amalia

Art Slave
Tokyo Dawn (Germany), 2011. New Copy
Amalia's future soul full length debut for Tokyo Dawn! On Art Slave, Amalia does a pretty amazing job of showing off a broad range of inspiration, but delivering a record that's fresh and uniquely her own. She's one of more expressive contemporary soul vocalists on the international scene – ...
cover art  
Sony, 1994. New Copy 2CD
A killer of an album from Jamiroquai – the first time we really sat up and took notice, and said "hey, these guys are onto something good!" The record's pretty darn great all the way through – a warm batch of tunes that starts with a classic 70s mode that's part Stevie Wonder ...
cover art  

Deborah Jordan

Light
Futuristica (UK), 2009. New Copy
A fantastic full length set from Deborah Jordan – a singer we know mostly for her wonderful work with Silhouette Brown on an album that was one of our favorites from the London scene a few years back! This set has all the cosmic crackles of Jordan's previous work with Dego & Kaidi Tatham ...
cover art  

Jose James

Black Magic
Brownswood (UK), 2010. New Copy
A brilliant second set from Jose James – and that's saying a lot, given that his debut was already a classic in our book! The sound here is a little more full, and a little more confident – a magical blend of James' raspy vocals with some jazz and funk-inflected rhythms – never ...
cover art  
E One, 2012. New Copy
The best in years from Dwele – who honestly has yet to really make any kind of a creative misstep – and Greater Than One is one of his greatest records to date! Detroit singer and producer Dwele has long balanced a love for classic soul of the Donny Hathaway school with contemporary, ...
cover art  

Bilal

Love Surreal
Purpose/E One, 2013. New Copy
Tremendous work from Bilal – and further proof that his life on the indie side of the soul spectrum has been a very good thing! There's a crispness to the record that crackles right from the start – slight cosmic touches in the beats, but never too over the top – just enough to ...
cover art  

Kendra Morris

Banshee
Wax Poetics, 2012. New Copy 2LP Gatefolds
Modern blue-eyed soul from Kendra Morris on Wax Poetics Records – and it delivers in full on the promising couple of Wax Po singles leading up to this solid full length! If the title Banshee brings to mind a shrill spooky cry, fear not – because Kendra is a natural, truly soulful ...
cover art  
Universal Republic, 2012. New Copy
A limited edition slice of goodness from Mayer Hawthorne – a live performance recorded for the Morning Becomes Eclectic program on KCRW in LA! The material's a nice addition to the studio Hawthorne we already love – and shows a new sort of warmth that comes through not just in the ...
cover art  

Michael Kiwanuka

Home Again
Interscope, 2012. New Copy
The full length debut for Michael Kiwanuka – a record that stands out brilliantly, not only for it's strength and depth – but also because almost no one is making airy, often acoustic soul music on a major label in 2012! The record has been compared to Terry Callier's work with ...
cover art  

Floacist

Floetry Rebirth
Shanachie, 2012. New Copy
The Floacist, sounding better than ever – in a record that may well top any of her previous work – and maybe even music by Floetry too! The set begins with a wonderful duet with Raheem Devaughn on the cut "Start Again" – a cut that feels like some lost treasure from the ...
cover art  
Expansion (UK), 2012. New Copy 3CD
There's a heck of a lot of great music here – a whopping 35 tracks of contemporary and vintage soul, all put together for the price of a regular single CD! The package is the latest in the excellent Luxury Soul series – based around artists who have worked the UK series of the same ...
cover art  
LeSun, 2001. New Copy
Killer work from Ledisi – one of the best underground soul singers alive! This album has Ledisi opening up her bag a lot from her Soulsinger debut – moving into some more jazz-based material, sung with a sweet mellow vibe that still retains all the soulfulness of earlier work, yet ...
cover art  
Nia, 2012. New Copy Gatefold
A beautiful second record from Abiah – warmly wonderful material that's as sensitive as a singer/songwriter set, yet also has a deep sense of soul as well! Vocals and piano are wonderfully intertwined – in a mode that has the depth of jazz, yet the focus of soul music as well – ...
cover art  
Soulandjazz.com (UK), 2012. New Copy
A smashing selection of soulful tunes from the Hurst series – all contemporary numbers, all underground, with plenty of gems you've likely not heard before! As with the first volume, the ear for a great track is key to the set – a really well-chosen batch of tunes that goes past the ...
cover art  
LeSun, 2003. New Copy
An excellent bit of modern soul – very much in the vein of Jill Scott, Laurnea, N'Dambi, or some of the other current underground divas from the US indie soul scene! Ledisi's got a heck of a voice – very rich and mellow, in a style that reminds us a bit of classic work by jazzy soul ...
