Who says I’d rather be “down here in hell with you” than in heaven with someone else and actually means it?! Van effin’ Hunt that’s who!  The artist pulled a D’Angelo on us, taking a half-decade long reprieve from the music industry, but he’s back with his first full length album What Were You Hoping [...]

 If you haven’t heard Idris Elba’s “Private Garden” or Tank’s “Compliments” yet, do yourself a solid and click on the links after the jump! The two uber fine chocolate drops released their vocal odes to women within the last month ….just in time for cuffing season. (I see what they did there.)     Congrats to both on these [...]

Stacy Barthe, songwriter to the stars, most notably, Rhianna, Brandy, and Katy Perry, just released her EP Sincerely Yours. After getting a hold of the beautifully written single, “Without You,” featuring Frank Ocean (also included on this EP) a few months ago, via Goapele on Twitter, I couldn’t wait to download her EP!  Anyone else find [...]

    Leave it to Eric Roberson to bring the Soul of BeautyVirtuoSoul out of hiding. On Wednesday, August 17, he did just that with the anniversary celebration of his first album, Esoteric at SOB’s monthly soul series, Sol Village.  The event was sponsored by Singersroom.com and brought out the likes of up-and-coming artists Emanny,  ArinMaya, [...]

My love/hate relationship with Bilal has come full circle.  It all started when I decided to surreptitiously call myself “Soulsista” on Blackplanet…the original MySpace for Black folk. I couldn’t knowingly have a username like Soulsista and walk with my head held high, however, if I didn’t at least have the man’s album. So I went [...]

I know, I know…but you can (and hopefully will) forgive, especially if I have a pretty cool video for ya? So Fonzworth Bentley isn’t exactly a soul artist, but he hangs around enough of them to qualify as random-post-worthy-video- material… Plus I’m still  on this green kick apparently, and I find it just a tad [...]

(Ain’t she purty..makes me want to invest in some summertime lashes!) Sunday Soul will be back shortly by the way! But in the meantime if you’re in NYC tomorrow, stop by the Apple Store (103 Prince St.)  in Soho. In celebration of Black Music Month, iTunes will be putting on an R&B showcase with the [...]

What took me so long? Well, for starters platinum-selling artist Maxwell doesn’t need any help in the publicity department from my lil ole blog, but his album does deserve a likkle mention and some praise.  Confession: Maxwell’s latest album, BlACKsummer’s night is the first ever, Maxwell album I purchased.  I admit, sometimes I root for [...]

(Apologies for the delayed posts, including Sunday Soul,  had to do some real-world duties. But  back to the digital grind!)  With all the talk about Drake in the last couple years, it got me to thinking  recently about another Canadian artist who, unlike Drake, didn’t quite get her due props from the world-at-large, Esthero. This [...]

This  beautiful songstress based in Washington DC, by-way-of Ethiopia, embodies a powerful combination of soul and social consciousness. Wayna delivers a small portrait of  the world seen through her eyes, with  songs ranging from police brutality (“Billy Club”) to self-pleasure (“Mr. Duracell”) and  the daily grind  (“Office Politics”).  She’s so good, I have to admit, [...]
