Mama's Gun is the second studio album by American singer Erykah Badu. It was recorded between 1999 and 2000 at Electric Lady Studios in New York and released on November 21, 2000, by Motown Records. A neo soul album, Mama's Gun incorporates elements of funk, soul, and jazz styles.

The Internet will be releasing a new album 10 days from now titled 'Feel Good.' Today, the Odd Future collective released the artwork and tracklist for the forthcoming LP. Most notably, Mac Miller will be featured on the project's 11th track, "Wanders of The Mind."

'Stay Tuned!' is Dominique Fils-Aimé’s sophomore album, the follow-up to her debut full length 'Nameless', part of her trilogy that brings to center stage the resiliency of mankind in the face of adversity and oppression and pays homage to Afro-American history and culture.
In this second recording, containing 14 original songs, Dominique delves into the civil rights movement of the 60s and explores several significant socio-political events which deeply affected the course of black history (Lincoln Hills Country Club, Little Nine Rock, Emmett Till). She honours unsung heroes of the civil liberties movement as well as historical figures of the time such as Rosa Parks, Joséphine Baker, Lena Horne, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
The album combines elements of soul, jazz, gospel and blends vocal harmonies, double bass, piano and trumpet over stirring and permuting grooves. Stay Tuned!’s lush vocal arrangements bring out Dominique’s voice as a stand-alone instrument, giving prominence to the words and the message she carries. Part rebellious and fiery, part sentimental and intimate, Dominique embodies afro-american music from then and now, all the while highlighting its defying power in a violent and divisive society. Breaking away from the standards of traditional compositions, the singer and songwriter presents a body of work focused on liberated musical forms hinting at the spirit of jazz.
Moving on from the blues-tinged 'Nameless'—which boldly confronted historical silences and sorrows—'Stay Tuned!' is both a call for and reminder of revolution expressed with the fury of red-hot jazz.

用R&B风格翻唱radiohead的6首歌曲，很有意思。

Celeste Epiphany Waite is an American-born British singer and songwriter. In 2019, she won both the Brit Award for Rising Star and the BBC Music Award for Introducing Artist of the Year, and was also named the number-one predicted breakthrough act in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2020.

On her fourth album, Jazmine Sullivan contends with all that can be lost and gained through sex and love. She is in full command of her spectacular voice and totally delivers on an ambitious concept.

Chloe x Halle are an R&B duo composed of sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey. At a young age, the sisters performed in minor acting roles before moving from Mableton, Georgia to Los Angeles in 2012.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is the debut album by American R&B singer-songwriter Maxwell. It was recorded in 1994 and 1995, then released on April 2, 1996, by Columbia Records.

Many of the artists who were part of Britain's soul scene of the late '80s/early '90s, including Soul II Soul, Lisa Stansfield, and Caron Wheeler, took a high-tech, neo-soul approach, combining '70s-influenced R&B and disco with elements of hip-hop. The equally impressive Brand New Heavies, however, used technology sparingly, stressed the use of real instruments, and were unapologetically retro and '70s-sounding through and through. Drawing on such influences as the Average White Band and Tower of Power, the Heavies triumph by sticking with the classic R&B approach they clearly love the most. The band has a jewel of a singer in N'Dea Davenport, who is characteristically expressive on "Dream Come True" and "Stay This Way." Real horns -- not synthesizers made to sound like horns -- enrich those gems as well as the sweaty vocal funk of "People Get Ready" and "Put the Funk Back in It" and the jazz-influenced instrumental "BNH." While this fine album enjoyed cult hit status, it was sadly ignored by American urban contemporary radio.

John Legend获得过8项格莱美奖提名，并获得其中的三个奖项。这是他最新发行的专辑 "Once Again"， 首波主打单曲“Save Room”感觉比较像摇滚多过R&B风格的歌曲“Heaven”是第二首EP单曲。

美国新灵魂乐歌手John Legend原名John Stephens，“John Legend”这个名字只是儿时朋友们送的绰号。John Legend出生在美国俄亥俄州的Springfield，家庭的音乐氛围对于John Legend日后走向音乐方面产生了重要的作用。John Legend的家里有一台钢琴，John Legend从五岁的时候开始就利用这台钢琴学着练习弹奏歌曲，到了他八九岁的时候就已经开始在当地的一些教堂里为教堂唱诗班弹钢琴伴奏了，通过奶奶教授给他的一些福音音乐歌曲，不久之后John Legend已经开始独立的演奏歌曲了，到了高中的时候，John Legend已经开始录制一些小型唱片了。John Legend后来开始听一些Jodeci，Boyz II Men，LL Cool J的音乐，这些音乐对于他后来的个人音乐风格也产生了一定的影响。16岁以后，John Legend离开了家乡来到了宾夕法尼亚大学主修英文专业，在这里除了学习之外他依然活跃于音乐场合，他经常在学校的一些才艺演出上表演，在费城外的Bethel A.M.E.教堂他已经成为了教堂唱诗班的导演，直到他发片前的几个月，他在这所教堂担任唱诗班导演长达九年。

强将手下无弱兵。美国新灵魂乐歌手兼钢琴演奏家John Legend的这张专辑在金牌制作人Kanye West的锻造下，商业成绩已经明显的高于其他众多的新人灵魂乐歌手，经过了此前在众多明星专辑中的亮相预热，John Legend的这张专辑终于出笼，在发行首周销量达到了11万6千张，成功的名列排行榜的第七位，作为一名新人来讲已经是非常得不错了。

Brownswood are delighted to present Zara McFarlane’s, Songs of an Unknown Tongue a masterful work that underlines her continuous growth as an artist. Zara’s fourth studio album pushes the boundaries of jazz adjacent music via an exploration into the folk and spiritual traditions of her ancestral motherland, Jamaica. The album is a rumination on the piecing together of black heritage, where painful and proud histories are uncovered and connected to the present.
Partnering with cult South London based producers Kwake Bass and Wu-lu, Zara has created a futuristic sound palate, electronically recreating the pulsing, hypnotic rhythms Kumina and Nyabinghi – and the music played at African rooted rituals like the emancipation celebration Bruckins Party, and the lively death rites of Dinki Minki and Gerreh. These richly patterned electronic rhythms are balanced throughout by McFarlane’s distinctive, clear vocal tones, and vivid song writing.
Zara’s critically acclaimed third studio album ‘Arise’ met with universal critical praise, and was supported by an impressive live tour performing at festivals such as Love Supreme, Field Day and SXSW. Zara is the winner of multiple awards including a Mobo, 2 Jazz FM Vocalist of the Year Award (2018 & 2015), an Urban Music Award, and Session of the Year at Worldwide Awards. Drawing respect from a wide range of artists, Zara has collaborated with Gregory Porter, Shabaka Hutchings, Moses Boyd and Louie Vega. These new sonic explorations signal an exciting direction of travel for this innovative founding member of the UK’s vibrant homegrown jazz scene.
