shitloads of links for easily my best album of 08'

This fine debut album from Amsterdam based singer-songwriter Giovanca Ostiana has been a long time coming as the lady who also just happens to be an actress, fashion model and MTV presenter has been too busy! Still, it has been well worth the wait. Around since March in Europe this is a stunning debut of fresh, feel good soulful and jazzy tunes.

Produced by blue-eyed soul boy Benny Sings and released on the strong dutch independent Dox record label the whole album is full of tunes that have huge hit potential if it wasn't for the fact that they ooze class out of every note. On the slow and instantly catchy ballad 'Melancholic You' Giovanca sounds very much like Minnie Ripperton in both voice, phrasing and production and to prove that this is not a fluke the fullness of her voice becomes even more like Ripperton in the following track the delightful 'Pure Bliss'.

The ability to create songs of this quality which also have the knack of being instantly memorable is extremely rare and is enhanced by the new beats and samples of producer Benny Sings. The uptempo tracks are just as good. There is funk in 'You can do it'; latin in 'Free,' RnB in 'Stay Together' and soul in 'Matter of fact'

Yet know matter what the genre it is all linked together by the ability to structure tunes that have a lasting melody that will continue to linger in your head for many days after playing them. There may be contradictions in some of the lyrical content of the songs but there is absolutely no contradictions to be heard in the music. It's just sophisticated soul at it's most eclectic.

By far one of the finest soul albums out this year, grab it!

A member of the tight-knit Mobb Deep family, Big Noyd has been a Queensbridge legend since his opening line on the Mobb's song "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)". First getting shine way back in 1993 on Mobb Deep's debut album "Juvenile Hell", Noyd continued to make show stopping appearances on nearly every following Mobb Deep album. His 1996 debut album, "Episodes of a Hustler", was released during a period of incarceration for the infamous Big Noyd. Nevertheless, many consider it a classic. He returned with his sophomore album in 2003, "Only The Strong (Survives)", again in 2004 with "On The Grind" and most recently his two Traffic Entertainment ventures entitled "The Stick Up Kid" and "The Co-Defendants". His latest offering, "The Kid from the Bridge" picks right up where those two left off. Once again Queensbridge comes correct, with one of their legendary ambassadors holding it down as always.

Highlights of the album include the passionate lead single, "The River," and the regret-filled "Led You On," tracks that showcase the Boston-based performer's laid-back, introspective persona and considerable vocal talent. Noel Gourdin is a breath of fresh air to R&B.

I had the pleasure to hear the whole kiley Dean album and I must say that she is a power house with her vocals.Song like "escape" written and produced by Timberland show a diverse side to the music style of Kiley captivating her raspy voice, also my favorite song on the album called "Days Gone By" which could have been an instant #1 on the charts with its slow R&B flavor as well as "America" that was another Timberland classic. All 19 tracks that I heard and sadly have to burn to have for myself showcase the best that Kiley has, unfortunatly her album was stopped which was a major major major mistake and I pray that they let this girl release more of her music to show that she's got MADD SOUL, (you would think she's black if you didn't know what she look like)

Singer, songwriter, producer, and grandson of an international music notable; Rob has been surrounded by music ever since birth. With a childhood immersed in a wide array of musical influences, from hip hop, pop, and R&B to Caribbean, jazz and even classical, Rob developed a vigorous passion for music relatively early in life. His musical upbringing coupled with his experiences as a trumpet soloist, self-taught pianist, impressive composer and vocal arranger has translated into the making of a true artist.

Listening to Rob Murat’s music is like traveling back to the future. The freshness of his sound is reminiscent of the icons that paved the way before him, yet it pushes forward with a unique flavor that hints at something never quite heard before. His passionate performances demand your undivided attention upon delivery. Sold out crowds at New York’s Joe’s Pub, The Village Underground, and L.Q., and Philadelphia’s World Live Café among others have all experienced Rob’s captivating execution firsthand. His sound and style lay a foundation that often flirt with rich tones and live instrumentation, yet at the same time display hip hop sensibilities that peak the interest of the urban listener. His songs deal with a range of matters from the heart and mind with a strong presence of vocal textures that serve as pure audio therapy for the soul. Seldom have love and hate, joy and pain, even tears and laughter been bound so tightly together in such a mesmerizing set.

George Duke's debut for Heads Up International, "Dukey Treats," will be out on store shelves on Tuesday, Aug. 26. The album cover features chocolate miniatures, including a piano. It's so Ghiardelli Square. The veteran keyboardist/composer is offering up 12 treats, er tracks, on this release. Bassists Christian McBride and Byron Miller, percussionist Sheila E, drummer Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, guitarist Jef Lee Johnson (late Grover Washington, Jr. sideman) and trumpeter Michael "Patches" Stewart are three of the top-line guest stars on the album. The vocalists on the CD are an incredible array of talent, ranging from Rachelle Farrell to Howard Hewett, Teena Marie to Jonathan Butler to Josie James, Lynn Davis and Napoleon "Napi" Brock.
The opening track is a high-energy number called "Everyday Hero." "A Fonk Tail" pays homage to the Parliament/Funkadelic era of the 1970s. "Creepin'" is a remake of a song that originally appeared on Duke's 2002 BPM release "Face The Music." Duke's top keyboard solo, in my opinion, is on the closing track, "Images Of Us." As usual, it sounds like another winner from George Duke, the venerable master of piano-driven funk.

Finesoul ~ In my opinion i tought this was going to be another typical Funk/R&B Album but it sounds dope to say the least. Tracks like "I Tried To Tell You" & "Somebody Laid It On Us" reminiscence the old isley brothers songs. This is something worth checking out even if you think the cover paints a different picture. Last words... Grab it!

Governor is the newest R&B crooner to be signed to a rapper's label. But unlike Bobby Valentino who favors romance & seduction, Governor has more in common in with Donny Hathway & Lyfe Jennings. I was initially disappointed by the CD because it lacks those baby maker slow jams but after giving the CD a second listen I found the CD to be more social & political than sexual. Governor is at his best on Blood, Sweat & Tears, Slow Down & Forgive Me but the rest of the CD is by the numbers. T.I. is wasted on his featured track, but Governor does show some promise. Instinct tells me that Grand Hustle Records another male R&B crooner Rashad Morgan also known as Ray-Ray is going to be the label's lover man while Governor will be the exact opposite.
This album is certainly different from other slow jam albums in the market, theres no harm sparing another 80mb in your porn filled hd =].

Keisha White is the real deal Holyfield. Representing North London, the young soul siren embodies that 'it' factor that every artist wishes they possessed. She's got the chops, she's got the looks, and she's got the versatility. But being a world away will limit her exposure to the listening audience in the United States. Nevertheless, Keisha White has the sophistication for the older crowd along with the power ballads that the 'American Idol' audience seems to enjoy hearing week in and week out on the show. And her debut album Out of My Hands is certainly one of those albums that the critics will love and embrace after one listen.

"The Weakness In Me" is a superb illustration of the vocal gift that Keisha personifies in every note she exclaims in her songs (see link to the video below). Other compelling melodies include "I Choose Life" and "It Takes A Stronger Man." But Keisha White also explores the delicate and smooth side of R&B with songs like "One Step At A Time," "Love Is The Deepest Hurt," and "Why." She even does a few mid-tempo tracks like the funky "Brother," the title track "Out Of My Hands," the unrelenting "What's On Your Mind" and the cover of the Patti Austin/James Ingram classic "Baby Come To Me." Even the upbeat riff of "Complicated Emotions" doesn't sound out of place despite it being the only cut on the album that comes close to a dance track.

A lot of people will try to draw comparisons to people like Toni Braxton, Joss Stone, or Heather Headley. But Keisha White is truly a starlet in her own right. Her gracefulness alone sets her far apart from the pack. And even though Out of My Hands is an import disc, the few extra bucks to get your hands on it will be worth every penny once you play it for the first time in your stereo.

Israel's "Chapter One" - I'm giving it two thumbs up for this album, I like all the tracks especially "Work Da Middle Pt 2, My Girl & Centre" If your into rnb, slow jamz and dance rnb with crunk beats! Get this album, I guarantee ya'll wont regret buying it!
finesoul too recommends getting this cause of the diversity israel puts in his work, check out "Comin' 2 Getcha" which has a sick beat and jin, and also "remember when" & "your everything". It's a definite grab for the genuine rnb/soul luvers

Imagine a cross between Craig David and Usher and you will find Nathan. The album is pretty much full of potential singles and although "Masterpiece" is the kind of title asking for criticism from the get go, its a justified title. The album is very strong, personal favourites include "Cold as Ice" and "Kiss Me" - well worth a buy!

N2U is the product of Chris Stokes, who rose to fame with his groups IMX, B2K, and the female counterparts Gyrl and TG4. Whereas all those other groups focused entirely on their labelmates, along with dance cuts and sappy ballads, N2U strays away from the format; the result is a wonderful album that cannot be missed.

All of the songs are definitely worth listening to. This is one of those rare albums that you can play all the way through without skipping any. This album isn't for dance fanatics, for this is a very ballad-heavy album, but that's definitely not detrimental to it. This album simply WORKS.

Anytime you start off with an excellent intro, you know you have a soild album, and N2U does just that. "Because of You" is an excellent vocal masterpiece, with lovely vocals and excellent backdrop instrumentals. "Freakin' You (Set the Mood)" is excellent and has a lovely lead vocal with some serious backgrounds, with some good lyrics. By far my favorite two songs on the album.

What also makes this album work is the various subject matter. It's not all about "ooh baby, I love you forever", but N2U deals with some issues that go on in everyday life. "Baby Mama Love" is relatable to a lot of men, and the song works because it's nowhere near overdone vocally, production-wise, or lyrically. It sounds like it's read straight from someone's journal or thoughts. Interesting. Also, "Breakin' the Law" is a sexy song that tells you what a man is going to do to his lady, but not in a raunchy "et me lick you way", but also not having any cares about the act's surroundings. A lovely song at best! "Beauty" tells you how many people go to someone's looks to keep the relationship knowing that it can't keep it going. And the song is, again, not overdone at all. And of course, the hidden track "What Goes Around Comes Around" teaches us the old adage of karma. Beautiful.

Why 4.75 stars? First, because "Because of You" had the perfect potential to be a whole song and it was just an interlude. When it went off, I was like, no!!! I would have loved to hear a whole song of that. Also, Jermaine Dupri is the only guest star on this album and even he was unnecessary. N2U could have done this album without anyone! lol

All in all, this album is one of those rare finds that you have to have. It's such a shame that it's underpromoted and overlooked, for it is definitely a classic. It's funny that N2U shines where the other groups under Stokes has failed -- in the vocals -- yet doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Here's hoping that we get some more N2U played!

The multi-talented Nick Cannon first became known as an actor in films and TV, appearing in DRUMLINE, LOVE DON'T COST A THING, and even his own NICK CANNON SHOW. Somehow, in between acting jobs, he found the time to record a hip-hop album. Despite his camera-friendly image, Cannon clearly has aspirations to be more than just another Will Smith nice-guy rapper. Things get off to a roaring start with the in-your-face track "Get Crunk Shorty" pumping things up (with help from Ying Yang Twins). Throughout the album, Cannon takes a surprisingly hard lyrical stance, frequently proclaiming himself a "gigolo" and a "pimp." On the naggingly catchy "You," Cannon shows his musical roots by making lyrical references to the Grandmaster Flash/Furious Five classic "The Message" and De La Soul's "Me, Myself & I," but doesn't go down the socio-political road of those songs. Naturally, being a film and TV star, Cannon lined up guest-shots aplenty for his debut, including star turns by Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly, but, to his credit, these icons do not outshine him.

Latif's debut album "Love In The First" is probably one of the most slept on releases of 2003. His first single "I Don't Wanna Hurt You" tells a story about young love and the scary thought of settling down at a young age. The script flips a bit to the next song "Who's Lovin' Her Now" its kinda like the 2nd part to the 1st single he wonders if shes happy and who is loving her.
The highlights on the disc is definately track 4 "Without U" a beautiful interpretation of how much u realise how much some means to you when they're gone. Also track 11 stands out for me which could have easily been a single "Rain Will Go Away" its such a heart breaking song "Rain will go away/i pray you find someone else to take my place".
Latif has so much talent comparisons to Avant & Donell Jones are clearly evident let's hope he releases a sophomore CD

For a while there, the helium-voiced Macy Gray seemed to be coasting instead of crashing down the walls between funk, rock, and R&B the way scads of breathless music pundits once said she would. That was before will.i.am and a handful of other skillful knob-twisters entered her life. Now, multi-genre destruction and utter domination once again seem possible: Big, as its title suggests, is a huge record--bold in all the right places and subdued where it needs to be; scruffy around the edges but slick below the surface; at once nonchalant and reckless to the bone. Gray, in her way, is a vocal Timbaland--it's tempting to think she's too imposing to make a random-seeming hook-up work, but she stretches her singular gift around pretty much any collaborator a producer can throw at her, and with style to burn. On Big, those tossed on for the challenge include Natalie Cole, who lights up opener "Finally Made Me Happy"; Nas, who gives up the grit likably on "Ghetto Love"; and Fergie, who coos efficiently throughout "Glad You're Here." As vibes go, the one given off here is cool, casual, and slightly crazy--all Macy, in other words. She does her thing up right, and she does it Big.

"He was the guy that had a new record on the radio every two weeks. And I was the kid who used to hear listen to brand new James Brown records via the 3.5 inch speaker that was connected to my AM radio as I listened to the static filled broadcasts of WWRL-1600 AM in NYC, all of the way on the far right hand side of the AM dial. And with each new James Brown record that I heard on WWRL-1600 AM, I would jump up and spin around imagining that I was on the stage of the Apollo Theatre, just like James Brown. Then I would run down to the record store and plunk down my hard earned 49 cents and buy my very own vinyl copy of that new James Brown record. And all was right with my world, until two weeks later, when WWRL-1600 AM would play yet another brand new James Brown record and the process would repeat itself!"

"50th Anniversary Collection" gives those songs to you, EXACTLY as they were first presented to us on the radio (without the static....lol) and it's presented in chronological order. 50 hit records over the course of 50 years. There are no "alternate takes", "extended jams", "stuff recorded when nobody knew that the tape recorder was still running", live cuts, etc.

Support James Brown and purchase it here, i did, thats how i made this EAC rip

Just when you had DJ Jazzy Jeff pegged solely as a hip-hop maven, Groovin’ Records jettisons The Soul Mixtape chocked full of nu soul and R&B gems that will rattle your preconceived notions of his skills. But if you’ve been watching his career, you’d realize that this is no sudden move for the Philadelphia native.
From 1987 to 1993, Jeff along with childhood friend and superstar Will Smith were the groundbreaking hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. They successfully made the transition to television with six seasons of the top-rated syndicated show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. But in 1990, Jeff launched A Touch Of Jazz Productions (ATOJ) as a creative hub largely to foster his love of R&B and soul. After a decade of producing for outside artists, ATOJ introduced what would be its first breakthrough artist in Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott while further tilling the soil of the burgeoning neo-soul movement by introducing such artists as Musiq and Floetry. With 10 million albums sold worldwide and an enviable collection of awards, DJ Jazzy Jeff is definitely a man of many accomplishments. But his accomplishments wouldn’t be complete without feeding his love of R&B and soul via ATOJ. And that love is further translated in The Soul Mixtape.

Featuring 16 lustrous tracks hand picked by DJ Jazzy Jeff and soul music fanatics Teddy and Natalie Esposito, the disc mixes familiar faces (Dwele, Martin Luther, Pete Rock) with the freshman class of soul (Valencia Robinson, Michael Bohannon, Leela James), making for a best of both worlds listening experience. U.K. acid jazz renaissance man Omar duets with U.S. soul matriarch Angie Stone on a remake of the classic 1974 William DeVaughn hit "Be Thankful" while former Incognito vocalist Kellie Sae revamps Aretha Franklin’s 70s gem "Daydreamin’". The disc also contains two exclusive tracks from ATOJ artist V ("She Wants 2 Be", "Broken Dreams") not available anywhere else. DJ Jazzy Jeff blends these tracks with extreme care, exemplifying his passion and love for the genre. That same love also lead him to cross paths with soul aficionados Groovin’ Records, curators of the soul compilation series Neo Soul United (vol. 1-3) and Soul In The City.

The Soul Mixtape marks DJ Jazzy Jeff’s first release with an American independent label.

Jai Wil, a Chicago native with a worldwide mission, has been patiently waiting to make his mark in the music industry. In 1999, he landed his first major gig, singing background for Sean “Diddy” Combs on the “Puff Daddy and the Family” tour. He had his first dose of stardom, surrounded with Bad Boy acts like Lil' Kim, Carl Thomas, Mase, and P Diddy, himself. Spending most of his musical years perfecting his craft, Jai has also taken center stage at events like "Laughing on the Lakefront", a Comedy Extravaganza at the Arie Crown Theatre, featuring Ricky Smiley, Adele Givens, Arnez J and others and performing for Project 8 & BET's Rap It Up AIDS campaign along side artists like Chingy and Ms. Prissy (from the movie "Rize"). Past experiences also include background vocals for Dave Hollister and opening for R.Kelly.

The streets have a time-tested way of putting the cold hard steel to a soul. The streets toughen folks to either stay and survive, or to elevate and strive. Brooklyn-born singer/songwriter Edwin "Lil Eddie" Serrano chose the latter and has been steadily ascending the music industry ladder ever since.

Going from living on the streets of Spanish Harlem to releasing his debut album Nobody's Fool at the age of 19, Lil Eddie's accomplishments are inspiration. Nobody's Fool introduces a young Puerto Rican with both a gift and the passion to be "a serious artist with the platinum touch" - to move the masses in his quest to be the first "Latin Soul Sensation." He's already had one song he co-wrote all over urban radio: Carl Thomas' "She Is" (f/ LL Cool J). He also wrote and appeared with P.Diddy on "I'm Looking At You." Now, as the first artist signed to super producer and Bad Boy recording artist Mario "Yellow Man" Winans' Yellow City imprint (via Florida-based Big3 Records), it's Eddie's time to shine.

Eddie co-wrote all of the material on Nobody's Fool. One listen to the dreamy and melodic "Gotta Go," it's clear Lil Eddie has been studying the radio well. Dig even deeper into the album and you will find songs that are "purely Eddie." Take the track "I Don't Think I Ever," a haunting declaration about discovering the true meaning of love which features Winans chiming in on a verse. Most powerful is the title track, "Nobody's Fool," from which the defiantly confident lyrics at the top of this page were pulled. Featuring a blistering rap by Yellow City Entertainment's Lo Down, "Nobody's Fool" tells you all you need to know about the determination Eddie has had to have to make it this far in his career...and in his life. "That song explains why doing this first album was totally necessary for me," Eddie states. "I have a lot to say."
