Late 2001 early 2002 we got some good soul\funk records from Sade (Lover's Rock), Michael Jackson (invinc.) Prince (TRC), Saadiq (Instant Vintage), Maxwell (Now) Jaguar Wright and Remy Shand to name a few. Since then it's been dead! Sure we have had a couple nice CDs here and there but nothing like that 2001/2002 period. When then hell we gonna get some new shit! Anyone know of something coming out? Prince, Maxwell, Remy what the hell y'all doing? I need some new music NOW!

When D'Angelo releases his new CD.

roflmao!

I'm eagerly awaiting a new Remy Shand Cd,rumored to be released later this year.There is a new Earth Wind and Fire CD due Tuesday.I don't know if you consider them funk/soul,but Jamiroquai is also working on their next album.

Mark August 5 on your calendar. That's the day Michael Franti and Spearhead release their new album Everyone Deserves Music. I've had a promo for about a week and it's excellent! Hopefully this beautiful, uplifting amalgamation of funk/soul/rock/dancehall/afrobeat will be a big hit; it certainly deserves to be.

Peace, David

I have faith in Slyeena Johnson

Didn't know about Remy's new shit. Thanks for sharing that! With Jamiroquai you never know what you gonna get. That last CD was straight disco! Have to admit I liked some of it though lol

Thicke's CD was released not too long ago, and it's very good! Not quite Remy Shand good, but he also displays a little more variety than Remy. A solid debut from a great new artist...

Wanna hear some nu funk? Check out this band called Maroon 5. They're the new rock/soul.

Tues U can pick up the Donnie cd "The Colored Section" on Motown.

Is it different to the prior version? On some TTD Wildcard tip, releasing same album under different labels...

Im not sure of the tracklisting for the new release.

Les nubians has a new one out -(though most of the album is song in french)

Common-if you hadn't heard it yet (has a track with P on there)

Many more you haven't listed but they've been out for a while or just might be to funky for ya

It seems like the bigger name artists release new music around the same time or year. Too bad there can't be a calculated rotation of neo-soul artists, so the music can be spread out. Well there's Vivian Green's Love Story which includes "Emotional Rollercoaster" that's been playing alot on the radio. Really good music. More for the mature listening crowd.

1. Wishful Thinking
2. 24 Hour Blue (Just One Of Those Days)
3. Superwoman
4. What Is Love?
5. Music
6. Emotional Rollercoaster
7. Final Hour
8. No Sittin' By The Phone
9. Affected
10. Fanatic
11. Ain't Nothing But Love
12. Be Good To You
13. Complete
14. Keep On Going


There's a local newcomer Goapele's "Even Closer" with the dream-like aura of her latest single "Closer." Her voice is mesmerizing.

1. Closer
2. Ease Your Mind
3. Got It Listen
4. Romantic Listen
5. Too Much the Same
6. Catch ZZ
7. Daze
8. Things Don't Exist
9. Childhood Drama
10. Salvation
11. Back to You
12. Butterflykisses
13. It Takes More
14. Red, White & Blues

The song "Harder and Harder" is funky, but LAWD it sounds too much like Justin and NSYNC... TOO poppy haramony alto boy vocals.

I saw 100s of copies of MJ's Invincible - which cost almost as much to make as Blair and Bush spent on flattening Iraq - in my local Music Zone for £2.

Still didn't buy it though

It's not great but for £2 isn't to be sniffed at, cheaper than a CD single and you're bound to like one or two songs on it.

Oh yeah Viktor dupliax international affairs is an incredible album, somethin nice to chill to cool lyrics nice beats kinda soul meets electronic vibe a lot of people are sleeping on this one, if you truly like those other groups you listed u definetly won't be disappointed with this release, he also participated in that DJ kicks series there's some interesting stuff on there also, especially the live track of BAG Lady with erykah badu!! killer performance, this should curb your appetite until one of the alchemist come out of the Lab!!

manki said:

Yeah, it's actually available on The RH Factor's new CD.

I don't know what direction Jamiroquai will go in this time around,but if it's anything like 'A Funk Odyssey',I will be satisfied.Leader Jay Kay is hanging around in Italy (!),getting new inspiration for the new album.

I thought Jamiroquai broke up?! Maybe Jay Kay was just letting off some steam regarding the music biz or something.

Looking forward to their next effort.

I thought Jay Kay was in rehab for cocaine?

Yeah, like...where is Samantha Fox and stuff!
