Peven Everett —
Power Of One EP ... CD 
Studio Confession, 2004. Used ... $13.99
A short but beautiful set from the incredible Peven Everett – 5 tunes that are a bit mellower and more laidback than usual – and which feature Peven trading his house groove for an equally wonderful blend of snapping beats, stepping basslines, and warm keyboard lines! Peven's vocals ... read more CD
(Out of print. Note that each of these is handmade by Peven – so that the items will have a self-produced, homemade look to them that differs from CD to CD – although the music is great, and that production makes these one of a kind items!)

Ventura ... LP 
12T/Aftermath, 2019. New Copy Gatefold ... $25.99 28.99
Anderson.Paak heads to Ventura for this one – and something about that sunny coastal city brings out his soul influences after the primarily hip hop-leaning Oxnard!

Texas Sun EP ... LP Dead Oceans, 2020. Sealed ... Just Sold Out!
Khruangbin get a great new sound here – thanks to the vocals and acoustic guitar of Leon Bridges, who bring a whole new dimension to their music!

Meshell Ndegeocello —
Plantation Lullabies ... CD Maverick, 1993. Used ... $4.99
This record, as we're sure you know, is a spunky bit of hip hop-inflected R&B, with the kind of sinister groove that got Me'Shell noticed immediately after the record was released. It got a bit overplayed and overblown at the time it was released – but it actually holds up well over the ... read more CD
T-Groove & George Kano Experience —
Lady Champagne (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD P-Vine (Japan), 2022. Used ... $14.99
Few folks get a classic groove as right as T-Groove – and here, he's working with the George Kano Experience for an even more classic vibe – this wonderful blend of soul, jazz, funk, and boogie – all put together with the best sort of 80s groove production! The album's got a ... read more CD

Resavoir ... LP International Anthem, 2019. New Copy ... $22.99 23.99
A beautiful International Anthem debut from Resavoir – a group led by Will Miller, a musician who's equally skilled at both keyboards and trumpet – and who often plays in a style that sometimes makes it hard to tell which sound is coming from which instrument!

Resavoir (2023) (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP International Anthem, 2023. New Copy ... $26.99 28.99
The second set from Resavoir – a project headed by Chicago producer/musician Will Miller, an artist who's had a lot of experience in the higher reaches of the hip hop scene – but who here gives himself over to much more personal, introspective modes!

Alice Russell —
I Am ... CD Tru Thoughts (UK), 2024. New Copy ... $12.99 14.99
A really great step forward for singer Alice Russell – an artist you might know best from heavier funk sets, but who comes across here in lean deep soul style that's even better for her incredible voice! In face, although we fell in love with Alice from her very first record many years ago, ... read more CD

At ... (Jazz, Neo Soul) read more CD

D'Angelo —
Voodoo ... LP Virgin, 2000. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $36.99 38.99
Sweet and gritty soul from D'Angelo – who takes a huge step into deeper territory on Voodoo – and it's one of the most monumental records of its time!

D'Angelo —
Brown Sugar ... LP Capitol/Virgin, 1995. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $31.99 35.99
A record that was an instant classic from the moment it was first released – and a set that's still pretty darn pleasing all these many years later!

Amy Winehouse —
Back To Black ... LP Universal, 2006. New Copy ... $25.99 26.98
An incredible album from Amy Winehouse – even way better than her fantastic debut!

Domi & JD Beck —
Not Tight (180 gram pressing) ... LP Blue Note, 2022. New Copy ... $24.99 27.99
A mighty fresh debut from Domi and JD Beck – a duo who mix together keyboards and drums at a level that channels lots of styles from the global underground of the past decade or so, but with a jazzier sort of warmth, and a nicely soulful current throughout! The pair first got attention on a ... (Jazz, Neo Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Erykah Badu —
But You Caint Use My Phone (purple vinyl pressing) ... LP Motown, 2016. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A really great project from Erykah Badu – a set that's quite spare compared to the fuller sound and energy of her New Amerykah records – done in a bedroom studio in Dallas with producer Zach Witness! The music is lean and stripped-down – hip hop-influenced soul, but almost at a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jarrod Lawson —
Jarrod Lawson ... CD Dome, 2014. Used ... $19.99
A stunning debut from Jarrod Lawson – a singer we fell in love with right away – and who we'd rank right up there with some our favorite mellow soul artists of the 70s! Yes, the cover's got a look that's more indie rock – but Jarrod's got this righteous vibe and sense of flow ... read more CD
Erykah Badu —
