I've been staying away from Hip-Hop lately and getting my grown man on. Here's a couple of my favorites; Feel free to add-onRaheem Devaughn- The Love Experience- Excellent debut. People compare him to D'angelo which is unfair and dangerous. His timbre is different than D, and the songwriting is better. Plus he has beat credibility by getting production from Kev Brown & Kenny Dope.Raphael Saadiq- Raphael Saadiq is Ray Ray- This is a great album, period. I can't really describe this album because Raphael has so many influences that it seems he doesn't fit any classification. Just good music.Van Hunt- S/T- This album was so criminally slept on that it's ridiculous. i suggest everyone get 2 copies of this and force someone to listen to this.Lizz Fields- By Day By Night- Great independent Soul project

    I don't listen to much, and I am always a few years behind, but I like what I hear. D'angelo, Macy Gray, India.aire. They make me think soul is alive and well.

    These people who are trying to be the next Al Green or Betty Wright, to recapture a sound from a past time, I don't care for much.

    This is the only "new" soul album I have on my laptop apart from some Erykah. A student said I should rip it because he thought it was good, and a few of the tracks have actually grown on me.

    I'm going to go out and buy a new soul lp. Please recommend one that is a good listen start to finish. The more organic the better. Does not have to be from this year.
