    slept on




    I remember hearing this when it came out. I didnt think she was carving out any new ground. Its sounded like color by numbers neo soul. I'll give her props for her jazz vocal leanings but after that.... I have friends who swear by this lp.



    it's funny you say that because she actually came out before 99% of the neo soul artists mentioned on this page. So I doubt she was copying anybody. To be frank I thought she was well ahead of the curve...........Dred Scott of "Breaking Combs" handled the production on it and it's top notch.

    why does every other neo soul album ever have that same brown/yellow/orange color scheme to it?

    Anything this guy touches is good, this has been a constant player since it came out in 2002.

    I'm a huge fan. I have all of her albums. "Peace Beyond Passion" or "Bitter" are my two faves, though.

    Peace,

    I keep on buying his albums but only these two ever really blew me away. The bsides to Whoever, Bittersweet and the original release of Lucky(not the K&D remix copy) are stunning as well.

    Also, Omar's Best By Far is one of the most slept on albums I know.

    What... No mention of Instant Vintage!? I think I have 3 copies of the LP.



    This Angie Stone record is great too:



    Especially this cut:



    I was a big fan of the Brand New Heavies - Brother Sister LP in the 90s.... This track is killer:



    Oh and Maxwell - Embrya

    You know that!

    You got the acappella of "Friendly Pressure", I presume?

    from one of the greatest mixes of all time, ever:



    bonus beat is to skip back to 38:00 for the "first time ever" blend.

    With 10 years to make up, this thraed should live on live long.

    This one slays me every time



    Are hip hop instrumentals w/ vocals considered neo-soul?
