Five long years after her sophomore album, independent Oakland singer Goapele (that's gwa-puh-LAY, not go-uh-pell, for those who didn't know), is back. She's on the sensual tip with a new album called Break of Dawn.

I was thinking that she dropped the single "Milk & Honey" what seems like YEARS ago. Then I looked it up -- and it WAS years ago, back in 2009. I kinda forgot this album was coming, but "Surprise!" Here it is. Watch the video for "Tears on My Pillow," and check out Goapele's album.

New Van Hunt Album

   What Were You Hoping For
  Buy Van Hunt's new album

Since being dropped from his label (booooo!), Van Hunt has been putting out his music independently, which is probably for the best.

If you don't know Van Hunt at all, in a nutshell, he's got the vocals of Curtis Mayfield, the Funk of Sly & The Family Stone, a dash of Prince's swagger, and major songwriting skills. (He penned "Hopeless" for Dionne Farris.) He plays guitar, and some of this new songs have a definite psychedelic bent. I guess that's why he's indie now: Record labels don't know how to market a brother with an electric guitar. Same thing happened to Lenny Kravitz back in the day...

Anyhoo, get your copy of Van Hunt's new album, What Were You Hoping For. "Cross Dresser" cracked me up, and lyrically, it reminded me of Prince's "If I Was Your Girlfriend" and I also particularly like the bare sound of "Moving Target" and "Falls."

What do you get when you combine Sade's ethereal vibe, Anita Baker's mood-creating, jazzy delivery, and a sheer vocal power reminiscent of Chaka Khan? You get DC Soulstress Deborah Bond.

After 8 (count 'em, 8!) long years since her stunning debut album, DayAfter -- which never went out of rotation in my music collection -- she's back with a brand new album called Madam Palindrome. Here's the first single, "You Are the One."

Hilz (formerly of Hil St. Soul)

UK Soul

Hilz albumHilz  Buy Hilz album

Former Hil St. Soul vocalist Hilary Mwelwa is out with a brand new solo project called Bring Back the Love.

On her own, Hilz sonically ventures outside the traditional Hil St. Soul territory, which I guess is the point of her doing a solo album. I like the Hil St. Soul formula better. It admit, maybe it was a bit predictable, but it was predictably GOOD. Here's the single "Got You."

Detroit singer-songwriter Charity Ward has been described as a cross between India.Arie and Corinne Bailey Rae, which is high praise.

This promo video is part of a Kickstarter campaign she ran this past summer to raise the money she needs to finish her album. In the clip, you'll hear the title track, "Sounds Like Love."

This song = warm sunshine on your face.


Thankfully, Charity met her fundraising goal, so we have an album to look forward to. In the meantime, you can download "Sounds Like Love," like I did, from iTunes.

Where Can I Find New Neo Soul Artists?

What Is Neo Soul Music?

How Did Neo Soul Music Begin?

Neo Soul (or Nu Soul) began in the 90's as a record label marketing term to describe modern R&B artists who had a heavy emphasis on deeper lyrical content, live instruments rather than machines, and a sense of emotional genuineness.

This tradition continues today, with many wonderful artists exploring every corner of soul music.

These artists tend to be underground, but there are a few who have broken into the mainstream, such as Erykah Badu, Maxwell, and Jill Scott. I hope that someday the mainstream media will widen their definition of "R&B," so that more listeners can enjoy the whole spectrum of R&B and Soul music.

Even though they don't get as much exposure as mainstream artists, there are many wonderful Neo Soul artists exploring every corner of Soul music today.
