Mainly because this aint a remix project per se, but an interpretation of some of thier tunes by modern Nu Jazz artists,signed and unsigned.īy the nature of this kind of project, there will be some tracks where you prefer the original. Well, thats a lie.(see later).they are in a handful of artists that could get a remix project on this list. Only 4Hero could get a "remix" project on a top 10 list. Looking forward to her next LP thats for sure! Quality SOUL. Who knows!What I do know is that this LP is one of the years best with the cheeky "Cant Hardly Wait", the topical "L.I.E", Soulful "Take it out" and "Nobody Jones". Maybe its the input from the great Leon Sylvers (a personal hero from his SOLAR days), maybe its a development in songwriting.maybe its just me being an ass. She has a wonderful voice, and a good ear for grooves but I haven't "felt" a complete LP of hers. Truth be told, Ive enjoyed and respected N'Dambi's previous LP's rather than Loved them. His duet with Lalah Hathaway is a peach too. Independant too, so add buisinessman!Whilst I didnt think this LP was as rounded as "LEFT", its still a must haveand contains great tunes like "Newness", "Borrow You" and "Howard Girls". Ive always been a big fan of Eric, and this LP was widely anticipated by all soul lovers.He writes great melodies, has a soulful voice and turn of phrase, and is an honest to godall round artist. Its cool to love Soul music dontacha know? Thats the best LP of the year in my opinion.Īs Marcell from Marcell and the Truth said this year."SOUL IS THE NEW HIP HOP." Soul music is Underground but its followers are passionate. That being said, there are always LP's out there that soul lovers must own, andso this mix is a representation of this years best in no particular order save for my number one.

The last couple of years has seen the trend of looking back to the 60's for influences, and for more emphasis on groove rather than melody. Theres been a tendency for artists to move to Electro/Pop, and so real soul albums are hard to come by. Truth be told,recent years have not been great for soul LP's. Here is my selection of the 10 LP's YOU MUST OWN of this year. Jauguar Wright - Denials Delusions and DecisionsĪnd Im sure that theres more Ive forgotten.Įnjoy the mix below of tracks from my 11 top LP's, and if youve got spare Amazon/Itunes vouchers this holiday season, you cant go wrong with any of these LP's! The Sunburst Band - Until the end of time Musiq Soulchild - Aijuswanaseing/Soulstar Little Brother - The Minstrel Show/The Listening These "Nearly made its" at least deserve a mention, not least so that those who don't own them can purchase them. Stupid ass shit that you have to nit-pick about so that you can make a list at all.

The Other LP's that I just love that by all rights should be on a list of this type, but for personal reasons arn't. What I do have to mention are the nearly made its. 2 - August 31, 2004įoreign Exchange - Leave it all Behind - October 14, 2008Ĭommon - Like Water for Chocolate - March 28, 2000 Slum Village - Fantastic Vol.2 - June 13, 2000 Masters at Work - Our time is coming - April 9, 2002ĭonnie - The Coloured Section - October 29, 2002 Raphael Saadiq - Instant Vintage - June 11, 2002 The Rebirth - This Journey In - November 27, 2005Ĥ Hero - Play With the Changes - February 27, 2007 Whilst you may not like every single track on these LP's, they are from the heart and artistically sound.Ĭ) Having said that, I would happily listen to each of these LP's from begining to end.ĭ) Whatever Genre they belong to within Black Music, they are all Soulful. I dont think theres much to say about the 11 LP's Ive picked except that:ī) There are no filler or half hearted attempts to round up the track numbers. It was hard enough getting it down to those.
