12T/Aftermath, 2018. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $31.99
Cinematic hip hop soul from Anderson.Paak named after a seaside city west of Los Angeles, CA – but it's not Malibu, it's the stunning follow up Oxnard – a little looser, more diverse, and ultimately just as impressive set from this still rising talent! The uber-impressive guest list ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
World Galaxy/Alpha Pup, 2019. New Copy ... $15.99 17.99
A record with a very striking title – and a wonderful sound to match – this warm, fluid blend of the vocals of Nia Andrews and a rich keyboard-heavy environment – one that features a fair bit of contributions from Mark De Clive-Lowe! Nia also plays piano and keyboards, and it's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Motown, 2008. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $16.99 24.98
Badu is back with some of the deepest, funkiest and best music of her career – a mindblowing treatise for a New Amerykah – and what we'll consider an instant classic whether the world at large catches on or not!

Verve, 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $16.99 34.99

Love Will Find A Way ... CD 8.99
Columbia, 2018. New Copy ... $22.99
A soaring set from Leon Bridges – a full length second album that's every bit as classic as his debut, but in a completely different way! Where Coming Home was maybe Leon's answer to the generation of Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke, Good Thing is more of a nod to the era of Maxwell and D'Angelo ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Includes download!)
Jazz Refreshed (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $22.99
Bassist Daniel Casimir really wowed us with his last set for the Jazz Refreshed label – but this time around he teams up with vocalist Tess Hirst, and creates a sound that really blows us away from the very first note! The music is future-thinking jazz at the core, but has lots of complexity ... (Jazz, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Fat Possum, 2020. New Copy ... $15.99 18.99
A fantastic full length debut from Cassowary – aka Miles Shannon, an artist who's equally skilled as a jazz musician and a singer – working here in a really great style that's a strong hybrid of the two sides of his talents! The keyboard lines are wonderful – served up on a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(White vinyl pressing limited to just 200 copies!)
Cordial (UK), 2019. New Copy ... $16.99
A contemporary soul set from the UK, but one that's got a very laidback vibe and a very mellow 70s sort of sound! The style is nicely easygoing – kind of slow funk on most tracks, which is perfect for the lead vocals and the way they trip along the tunes in a way that's relaxed, but never ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Lounge (UK), 2019. New Copy 2LP ... $13.99
A really great full length set from Cool Million – a group who don't give us nearly as many records as we'd like – because by this time, they should have a recorded legacy to match that of Incognito or Brand New Heavies! Like both of those groups, these guys have a great way of going ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Stronger ... CD 8.99
Da Lata —
Birds ... LP Da La Music (UK), 2019. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
The first album in more than a few years from Da Lata – a set that has the core group winnowed down to Chris Franck, but which seems to open up the sound even more than before! Everything we've ever loved about Da Lata is in place here – that special sound that filters together bits of ... (New Grooves, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Legere (France), 2020. New Copy ... $19.99
No time for table games here – as Diazpora jump right in the groove from the very first note – working with a sweet 70s funk approach to their music, which means lots of riffing guitar, funky basslines, and horns punctuating the keys – all while lead singer Axel Maximilian Fiege ... (Deep Funk, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
King Underground, 2019. New Copy ... $20.99 22.98
Dominique Fils-Aime has this wonderfully crispy voice – a sound that sometimes make you feel she's older than her years, but set to instrumentation that also has some nicely contemporary currents too – all of which creates this pan-historic approach to soul, but one that's completely in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited edition of 500!)
Colemine, 2019. New Copy Gatefold ... $18.99 21.98
A killer debut from soul singer Kelly Finnigan – an artist who's got years of experience under his belt, working on other folks' projects – finally out in the spotlight on his own! Kelly's a blue-eyed singer, but has a voice that crackles with a classic soul rasp – set up here in ... (Deep Funk, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Flying Lotus —
Flamagra – Instrumentals (with bonus animated slipmat) ... LP Warp, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $37.99 42.99
We really loved the Flamagra album from Flying Lotus, but this set of instrumentals maybe shows off even more of the deeper currents in his music! The record's not the usual instrumental variant – in that these tracks don't really come across as cuts with the vocals removed – and ... (New Grooves, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Really cool vinyl pressing – with a bonus slipmat that contains zoetrope animation!)
Warp, 2019. New Copy ... $16.99 17.99
A really great moment from Flying Lotus – a live set recorded for Gilles Peterson in 2010, at a point that's kind of the start of a whole new generation in jazzy modes! The lineup here features tenor from Ravi Coltrane, light string touches from Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, and some especially ... (New Grooves, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Foreign Exchange, 2004. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
The start of a great legacy for Foreign Exchange – a duo made up of equal parts MC Phonte of Little Brother and Dutch production wiz Nicolay! The record was a pretty fitting departure for Phonte – whose crew re-ignited the southern hip hop underground for cats without the pimp crunk ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, 2012. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99 34.98
An amazing new chapter in the career of Robert Glasper – one of our favorite new jazz musicians of the past decade or so!

Sony (UK), 1993. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
The group's first full length album – and a classic batch of soulful funky tunes, handled with the charm and care that would make Jamiroquai one of the best new soul acts to come out of the UK during the 90s.

Kele —
2042 ... LP Kola (UK), 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
Really striking work from Kele – an artist who works in a space that's very much his own, but which follows in a strong British legacy of mashing up modes for political action – a trajectory that might start with Pop Group, and flow strongly through the Tricky and Portishead generation! ...

Blue Note, 2005. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A pretty sweet batch of soulful, coffee house folk pop from Blue Note upstart Amos Lee – who's clearly being positioned by the label as a potential male Norah Jones – but don't hold it too much against him!

Monophonics —
It's Only Us ... LP Colemine, 2020. New Copy Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
The Monophonics sound better here than ever before – as if the group's gone through some great mutation that's got them coming across with a richer, more mature sound than we ever might have expected a few years before!
