OK, since some folks think I "don't contribute to new threads", here's my thread on new music. I'll start with this rap album I found this morning:

It's not free but you can still play the tracks live.

Y'all can contribute if you want but I will add more to it.

Thanks to TD3 for the pic.

This one is free. It comes from L'Orange. It's titled Old Soul

http://lorangeproductions...m/old-soul

This group uses Lady Day as inspiration as it says here:

Billie Holiday is my muse. Her creative vision and stylistic integrity have influenced both my music and my writing. When I decided to work on this project, I wanted to approach this with respect for her music. I wanted these remixes to be both inspired and dedicated by the life and craft of one of the most innovative and soulful singers of all time. Each track is designed to represent a significant part of Billie Holiday's life.

Thank you for listening,

L'Orange

Another album you gotta pay for BUT you can still hear for free when you press play:

From the group Black Alley.

Thanks for the thread, Timmy.. I hope people actually listen and contribute to this one.

I found this on bandcamp about a month ago.. listed as similar to Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones and Adele..

Not free, but it's reasonably priced [she even offers to autograph CDs], and each track can be played in full..

Raquel Rodriguez [Self-Titled EP]

I'll keep it up for ya.

Not a new album, this came out in 2010 but is still available here http://potholesinmyblog.c...ids-album/ to download for free.

It's just a lovely slab of relaxed goodness and also has Karen O from The Yeah Yeah Yeah's holloring on a track.
