Yes

Earlier today we were given Jill Scott’s new single, and now to end the day we have been blessed with the beautiful lead single from Musiq Soulchild’s upcoming 7th studio album, MusiqInTheMagiq. Who said R&B/Soul was dead? You have no idea what you’re on about. Yes.

Shame

Yesterday was Jill Scott’s birthday, and today we get the lead single from her upcoming album, The Light of The Sun. Featuring her fellow Philadelphia native, this is one of the best Soul tracks I’ve heard for a very long time.

Middle x Street

Been waiting to hear Jamie Woon’s debut album, Mirrorwriting, for a very long time, and I’m happy to say that it lived up to all my expectations. It’s like Nicolas Jaar & James Blake’s albums merged together, but about 10x better - everything about is stunning, and you can see exactly why it took 3/4 years to make. Below you can hear two of my favourite tracks from the album and you can visit PinBoard to read a review that I fully concur with. Will definitely be one of THE stand out albums of 2011 - be sure to get your copy on the 14th.

A Litte Bit Better

Always had time for Daniel Merriweather and his music, but Mark Ronson has gone off the boil massively in the past few years. This sees them team up for 1 of 4 tracks that they have cooked up for Russell Brand’s new film, Arthur. Cool track, which is better than anything off Ronson’s latest LP.

If It's Love

The new single from soul singer Kem, which features the beautiful Chrisette Michele. These are two of the best singers of the past 10 years, for me. Beautiful.

Movin' Down The Line x Day Dreams

Didn’t expect to get this and Katy B’s album on the same day, but that is what has happened, and to say I’m impressed would be the understatement of the century. Stone Rollin’ takes us back to the 50s/60s and sees Raphael revisit his musical roots, creating a sound that is non-existent in this day and age. I had no idea that he was 44 until today, but I guess that explains the maturity in his music and the diversity that he has shown across all 4 solo studio albums. Including his work as Lucy Pearl, I think it’s safe to say that this man will go down as one of the greatest R&B artists to come from the 21st century. Also; I can’t explain how refreshing it is to hear a 10 track album with nothing but quality on there - this will be one of the best releases of 2011. Make sure you get your copy next month, you won’t be disappointed.
