Jagged Edge - Lets Make Love

Some proper baby making music off of Jagged Edge's new album, The Remedy. Not really my kind of R&B, but the album is an enjoyable enough listen. Out on June 21st.

Cee-Lo - Bridges

Originally intended for The Lady Killer, here is a Neptunes produced joint that featured on the It's OK EP back in December. Not sure why it missed the cut (and I'm not sure how everyone missed it), but I'm very glad we got hold of it. I love this man.

John Legend Live in Rehearsal

Mr. John Legend treating us to a few performances whilst rehearsing for his Summer tour with Sade. I've seen him live 3 times, and can safely say that he is one of the best out there. Incredible performer.

Jill Scott - Blessed x All Cried Out (Feat. Doug E. Fresh)

After the two stunning singles that we've heard so far this year, Shame & So In Love, here are two of my favourite album tracks from Jill Scott's upcoming fourth studio release, The Light Of The Sun. The album is set to be released on June 21st and is her first LP since leaving Hidden Beach Recordings - I'm glad to say that the move  hasn't affected the music. There aren't many female artists that excite me, Erykah & Beyoncé being the two main exceptions, but Miss Scott has been consistently brilliant, blessing us with real Soul music from the heart for the past 11 years. Some people think that 4 years is too long to make an album, I don't. If the music is this good, then she can take as long as she wants to make it (D'Angelo's break has been a bit too long now though) - it's much better than releasing 3 albums in 4 years and none reaching the standard of her previous work. Make sure you cop this on the 21st, it won't disappoint.

Ledisi - I Gotta Get To You

My favourite track from Ledisi's latest album, Pieces Of Me, which will be available to buy next week. She is one of the only female R&B singers that excites me, and I'm pleased to say that this album didn't disappoint - laid back beats, heart-felt lyrics and beautiful vocals.

Rashaan Patterson - 6am

Spotted over at my main man's blog (PinBoard), here is the new single from Rahsaan Patterson, which is written by and features backing vocals from the ever brilliant Lalah Hathaway. This guy is one of my favourite male R&B artist's - After Hours is a classic that everyone should have in their collection. A funky bassline, and a soothing vocal = winning.

Jamiroquai - Smile

Jamiroquai's last album kind of slipped under the radar, without a US release or any sort of recognition in this country. However, the other day he took to his Soundcloud and let loose this free jam, which for me is more enjoyable than anything that was on the last album. Reminds of the good old days. More of this please, J.

The Foreign Exchange - All The Kisses (Feat. Amber & Paris Strother of KING)

Some new Foreign Exchange is always nice - some new free Foreign Exchange is even nicer. All The Kisses sees them team up with Amber & Paris Strother of KING, to provide an ever beautiful piece of Soul music that will feature on their upcoming live CD/DVD 'Dear Friends: An Evening With The Foreign Exchange'. Available on June 28th, but this is up for FREE download.

Maverick Sabre - Let Me Go

Some cool visuals for Maverick Sabre's debut single, which was release June 5th on Mercury. Lots of love for this tune, and think he is one of the most talented new artists in this country right now.

Eric Roberson - Summetime Anthem (Feat. Chubb Rock)

New Eric Roberson is always nice. New free Eric Roberson is even nicer. Earlier today the R&B/Soul legend took to his website and let go of this Summer jam, which samples one of my favourite songs of all-time (Give Me The Night by George Benson). Listen and cop this little bit of genius below. Thanks Eric.
