BMG, 2020. New Copy ... $19.99 21.99
There's a bit of a poised, mature look to Aloe Blacc on the cover – and that may well be a good way of summing up the set – as the singer seems ready to elevate into the stratosphere of contemporary soul artists, with strong, confident songs that have a very uplifting vibe throughout! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Brownswood (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
Joe Armon Jones sings and plays lots of cool Wurlitzer electric piano on this gem of an album – but the whole thing is maybe even more of a tribute to the warmly collaborative spirit of the contemporary London scene, as it is to the talents of the man himself! There's a nicely fluid sense of ... (Jazz, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Repressed!)
Brownswood (UK), 2017. New Copy ... $18.99 19.98

Motown, 2019. New Copy ... $18.99 21.98
BJ The Chicago Kid's second full length for Motown!

Innate Sounds/Diggers Factory, 2021. New Copy ... $23.99
It's been almost a decade since the first Lumberjack Soul album from Miles Bonny – and in that time, he's grown tremendously – both as a singer and musician, and as an artist who's really in command of his sound!

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!

Innovative Leisure, 2019. Sealed 2LP ... $9.99
A really great second set from Harriet Brown – one of those "recorded at home" soul records that may well set the tone for a generation to come!

Glassnote, 2017. New Copy 2LP ... $53.99 59.99
Childish Gambino once again transcends anything you might be expecting from an actor/musician – this is not some vain star trip at all, but a worthy, boundary-busting effort – and a pretty sizable step away from idiosyncratic, yet accessible hip hop into spacey pop funk! Strong stuff, ... (Hip Hop, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(In a glow in the dark box, with an exclusive booklet, virtual reality headset, an album download, and a download of virtual reality content!)
Glassnote, 2014. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99 29.99
Maybe not the first album from Childish Gambino, but a set that certainly showed the world that the hip hop side of Donald Glover was ready to overtake his role on screen!

Etc, 2021. New Copy ... $15.99 18.00
Injera is a form of Ethiopian flatbread, but the sound here is anything but flat – a full, rich combination of beats, samples, keyboards, and other elements – all topped with some slyly soulful vocals!

Legere (France), 2020. New Copy ... $19.99 22.99
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 ...

Acrophase, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99 28.99
Mellow soul from the Windy City – served up by a group we first discovered on a Colemine funky 45, and who sound even better here in the space of a full length album!

Warp, 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99 25.99

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!

Brownswood/Rainbow Blonde, 2010. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $22.99 25.99
A brilliant second set from Jose James – and that's saying a lot, given that his debut was already a classic in our book!

(Still sealed, with small holes at the bottom corners.)
Futuristica (UK), 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $20.99
It's been quite some time since we last heard from Deborah Jordan – and the singer has come a long way since her days in Silhouette Brown – really maturing a lot as a songwriter, and finding this way to really move forward in her music, while still hanging onto some of the future soul ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available See In The Dark ... CD 12.99
Fantasy, 2021. New Copy ... $23.99 25.99

(Very cool pressing – in a shiny silver cover!)
Virgin, 1999. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $49.99
At the time of this album's original release, the Neptunes had yet to take over the world, so it barely saw the light of day.

(Black vinyl pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Interscope, 2019. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $28.99 34.99

Also available Be The Change ... CD 14.99
BMG, 2020. New Copy 2LP ... $26.99
Fantastic work from Ledisi – an artist we've loved for almost 25 years, and who maybe sounds better here than she has in the last decade!

Dunham/Daptone, 2018. New Copy ... $14.99 18.99
The cover sticker bills this one as sounding like a lost collaboration between the Beach Boys and Delfonics – although for our money, we'd lean a bit more towards the latter – as the Sha La Das have a surprisingly strong approach to harmony soul!

Blue Note, 2020. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $18.99
Maybe the straightest jazz set we've heard to date from Kandace Springs – a record that's got a great old school vibe overall, and the sorts of moody, dark-tinged qualities that takes us back to vintage material by Abbey Lincoln or Nina Simone – something we might not have said about ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Futuristica (UK), 2020. New Copy ... $18.99
Georgie Sweet's just starting out, but we've got a feeling that we're going to be hearing from the singer plenty in years to come – as she's one of the freshest soul music talents we've heard from the UK scene in years – bristling with unique creative energy on this massive debut! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Vintage League, 2020. New Copy ... $18.99 19.99
