Jill Scott Remixes ... 12-inch T Box, 2019. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99 14.99
Chicago house maestro works some real magic here with the vocals of Jill Scott – opening up here already-great tunes with some extended clubby modes that really send the whole thing over the top! The collaboration's a perfect one – we love Terry's work, but dig him especially when he's ... (House Music, Neo Soul) read more 12-inch, Vinyl record
Jagjaguwar, 2021. New Copy ... $20.99 24.98
A really different sound for this legendary group – still very hypnotic and brassy, but in a very different way! The EP features three songs that build slowly, with brass as a key element, but maybe more in the background than the rhythmic forefront of previous records – letting vocals ...

Warner, 2019. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99
IDK's one of those artists who's very hard to pin down – partly hip hop, partly soul – always with this freewheeling sense of play in his music that really keeps things interesting! The artist answers the title's question right from the start with the inventive approach to his sound ... (Hip Hop, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
IDK —
Simple ... LP Warner, 2023. New Copy ... $21.99 23.99
IDK throws his hat into the ring with an entry into one of the better genres of contemporary soul to emerge of late – a well-contained concept album of sorts – a bit of a story along the way, but one that never feels too bound in by its premise to experience a sense of freedom from ...

Warner, 2021. New Copy ... $24.99 26.99
The second album from IDK, and one that's already really expanding his scope from the first – opening up with a lot more tracks overall, and opening the door to plenty of feature spots – including work from The Neptunes, Slick Rick, Young Thug, Offset, MF Doom, Rico Nasty, and Sevyn ...

P-Vine (Japan), 2019. New Copy ... $9.99 24.99
A set that's as playful as the image on its cover – and one that's pretty darn soulful too – a really great criss-crossing of modes from a trio of three very different personalities who manage to come together with a vibe that's very much their own! The combination of three almost ... read more CD
Verve/Talkin' Loud, 1997. Used ... $2.99
A tightly woven batch of jazzy soul tracks – the usual from Bluey and Incognito, classier than most soul you'll find on the market today, and with a depth that gives the work a distinctly classic sound! Titles include "Dark Side of The Cog", "Out Of The Storm", "Livin ... read more CD

Jose James —
On & On ... CD Rainbow Blonde, 2022. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
There's a very righteous image on the cover of this album from Jose James – one that evokes a record from Alice Coltrane, which might hide the fact that the album's a tremendous tribute to the music of Erykah Badu! Clearly, Badu's been a huge force in soul music for years, and opened the ... read more CD
Impulse, 2010. Used ... $7.99
A completely new chapter in the musical life of Jose James – a set that's every bit as soulful as his previous albums, but in a very different way! The format here is pretty laidback – James on vocals and Jeff Neve on piano – recorded in a relaxed, late nite sort of way – ... read more CD
(Barcode has a cutout hole.)
Shanachie, 2012. Used ... $6.99
A set done in the spirit of Etta James, but with a vibe that's definitely Leela James all the way through! There's definitely a rasp to the album that echoes the spirit of James' generation – enforced by a crispy sound of a stylus hitting a record at the start of the CD – but the ... read more CD
