Anthony Hamilton - WOO (Video)

Official visuals for the lead single from Anthony Hamilton's forthcoming album, Back To Love, which is set to be released December 13th. Probably the best R&B/Soul single of 2011 from one of the most talented singers in the world. Bobby Womack-esque.

Adele - Take It All x Someone Like You (Live @ The Royal Albert Hall)

Having brought you a few videos from her Royal Albert Hall performance over the past week, here are two of seventeen MP3s that will also be available on November 29th. 'Live At The Royal Albert Hall DVD' features the full 90 minute concert performance from September 22nd, plus special behind the scenes footage shot throughout the day leading up to the concert - the package also includes an exclusive live CD of the entire show (which these two MP3s have been taken from). This is the first time all of Adele’s hits and best loved songs will be on one CD, along with her breath-taking covers of Bonnie Raitt's 'If I Can’t Make You Love Me' and 'If It Hadn’t Been For Love' by The Steeldrivers. Two of my favourite Adele songs. Listen.

Amy Winehouse - Halftime

Following the brilliant 'Like Smoke (Feat. NaS)' and the heart-wrenching cover of 'Our Day Will Come', the third piece of music has now surfaced from Amy Winehouse's first posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, which will be released on December 2nd. The track was written by Amy herself and produced by her friend and long-term collaborator Salaam Remi, and optimises everything that was positive about this spectacularly talented young lady. Miss her.

Daley - Smoking Gun (Behind The Scenes)

Soul Culture TV takes you behind the scenes at the filming for the latest track to be lifted from Daley's incredible debut mixtape, Those Who Wait. Filmed at Centerstage studios in Islington, the debut video for the young Polydor Records signed artist, who has already made waves worldwide with his feature on Doncamatic by Gorillaz, is definitely a strong visual introduction to the artist. Big future ahead of this Mancunian lad.

Beyoncé - Live At Roseland (Full Performance)

The 26-song DVD Live at Roseland is Beyoncé's most personal to date. In addition to performing 4, she takes fans on a journey from the beginnings of her career to present, incorporating never before seen footage from her personal archives. A simply amazing woman.

Mary J. Blige - Feel Inside (Feat. NaS)

My favourite and most highly anticipated track from Mary. J Blige's forthcoming tenth studio album, My Life II...The Journey Continues, which is set to be released November 21st. NaS is really on fire this (every) year and this is without doubt a much stronger album than Mary's last effort, Stronger With Each Tear. One of the Queens of R&B is back with a bang.

Rihanna - We All Want Love (Prod. No I.D.)

Produced by legendary Hip-Hop producer No I.D., here is my favourite track from Rihanna's forthcoming sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, which will be available on November 21st. The album is a disappointing listen, but this track is beautiful and is the Rihanna I want to see more of. Pre-order your copy HERE.

Betty Wright & The Roots - Real Woman (Feat. Snoop Dogg)

Betty Wright joins forces with The Roots for her first album in 10 years, Betty Wright: The Movie. The album serves up 14 earth, funk-drenched soul anthems, all of which were co-written by Wright and co-produced by Wright, Ahimir "?uestloves" Thompson of The Roots and Angelo Morris. The album features guest performances by Lil Wayne, Joss Stone and Lenny Williams, but it's this Snopp Dogg featuring jam that stands out for me. A big release, which will be available on November 15th.

Frank Ocean - Thinking About You (SBTRKT Edit)

The day after Frank Ocean's first London gig, London-based Dubstep producer SBTRKT lets go a lovely edit of one of the Odd Future member's most well received tracks. Beautiful stuff.

Rihanna - Talk That Talk (Feat. Jay-Z)

The most anticipated track from Rihanna's forthcoming sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, which is out November 21st. A very underwhelming song, and not the greatest Jay-Z verse - probably be a number 1 still.
