Can we get a R&B/Soul/Neo-Soul thread?

Stevie Wonder - All I Do

Love love love this song.... Brings back so many memories of this blasting on my dad's stereo... One of his most heart felt songs in terms of vocal delivery... Not many singers can do this anymore, all you hear is vocal rolls & people trying to hit high notes & show off the upper registry of their vocal ranges...Man shut up & listen to this song...

Bill Withers - Use Me & Lovely Day

Alice Russell - Hard and Strong (Live on BBC)

I didn't know she has a new album coming out which is available for preorder on iTunes... Here's a new song from the forth coming release performed live on BBC recently.

Nice, I was wondering if she was working on anything else

 

[ajv23]

One of the greatest songs in my opinion. I wish the singer Edward McGhee had put out more work, this song gives me goosebumps every play.

Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do For Love





Jessie Ware - What You Won't Do For Love

Nice acoustic cover.

The Brand New Heavies - Sunlight & Addicted

There will be a new BNH album coming soon however it looks like singer N’dea Davenport won't be doing all the lead vocals for the album (What the ...). Here are 2 new songs that feature her. Okayplayer reports Dawn Joseph will do most of the vocal work....SMH....

Epic slow jam...

The Foreign Exchange - If She Breaks Your Heart (ft YahZarah - The Randy Watson Experience Remix)

The FE has a new release of remixes & reworks of songs... For those that don't know, the Randy Watson Experience is the Roots ?uestlove & James Poyser.

SMH @ phonte & nicolay not giving us any new FE music for like 3 years, and Phonte is ALWAYS tweeting. Get your lazy *** up and give us new jams . Yes I'm mad >:

The Foreign Exchange - Purple Flip (Prince Tribute)

I've posted this before, but this actually might be my favorite FE song. Might be due to being a Prince fan...Speaking of which, the purple one needs to chill out with not having his music available on Youtube or the internets in general. I've been rocking to some old school Prince the last several weeks...






Q-Tip - Poetry (Feat. Erykah Badu & Roy Hargrove)

I posted this in the jazz thread... Thought I'd post it in here too just 'cuz. Love this song...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

The Soulquarians - A Song For Assata

This iteration of the Soulquarians had James Poyser on bass & keys, ?uestlove on drums, Larry Gold handling the string arrangement, & Jeff Lee Johnson on guitar... I wish there were actual releases from the collective.... That would be really dope....

Jose James - Do you Feel

I've been listening to this cat for a while now... First heard him from a Gilles Peterson podcast several years ago... I've posted him in the jazz thread but thought I'd post him in here to. He just released his Blue Note debut last month & it's a quality record. Here's a song off that release live & direct.... Dude's voice is reminiscent of Johnny Hartman.... His band is off the hook too...

Isaac Hayes - Hung Up On My Baby

Some Black Moses...RIP....

[j apostrophe]

One of my all time favs..

This one is for the grown and sexy playlist..

"You're not yourself.. Come here.. Let me rub your back.."

"Kiss on your neck like I used to do huh?"

"I see you're tense.. You gotta let go baby"

"Wont you let the juices floooooow!" 

Son was too smooth.. RIP

D'Angelo & ?uestlove - Tell Me If You Still Care (Live At Brooklyn Bowl 3/4/13)

Here's the original in spoiler mode.
