BEST SOUL PROJECTS OF 2006
01- V - THE REVELATION IS NOW TELEVISED: Soul singer V is still unknown by
many people, but his sleeper debut album was definitely one of my favorite
releases this year. He has a nice mixture of soulful lyrics with hypnotic
beats. This is one of the those rare albums that I can play without skipping
through tracks.
02- DARIEN BROCKINGTON - SOMEBODY TO LOVE: D. Brock has become a household
name for fans of Little Brother & The Justus League. He dropped his debut
album in the Fall, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. There are
only a few soul crooners that I really enjoy because the majority of them
sound too teenie-bop/bubblegumish in my opinion. Darien makes soul music for
the the adult crowd without sounding too old school. Plus, after meeting him
and conversing awhile, I realized that he is a real down to earth brotha that
is just trying to make good music. Great person and a great album!
03- VIKTOR DUPLAIX - BOLD BEAUTIFUL: I have been a Viktor Duplaix fan for
years now, but his latest release just took his career over the top in my
opinion. Talk about some sensual soul music! This is one of the smoothest
albums I have heard in a long time. If you are enjoy setting the mood for
romance, then you definitely need this album in your collection.
04- JOHN LEGEND - ONCE AGAIN: This album was J. Legend's second release, but
I actually like this joint better than his first one. The smooth vibe of this
joint becomes more addictive, as you go from one track to the next. This
album reminds me of the older John Legend live stuff he used to have
available before he got his record deal. JL is a true talent, and he will
still be around making great music while these other fly by night acts will
be long forgotten. This is a classy album from a classy performer.
05- DJ SPINNA - INTERGALACTIC SOUL: Spinna is one of my all time favorite
producers, and I pretty much like all of his stuff no matter what version of
himself he glorifies. From house to soul to hip-hop, DJ Spinna dwells in all
of them and very well I might add. DJ Spinna's diverse approach to music
allows him to create great compilations like Intergalactic Soul. This project
was about musically exploring all sides of the producer. Another sleeper
project that many people overlooked, but definitely worth some serious
attention.
06 - CHOKLATE - CHOKLATE: When I originally came across this album I didn't
really know what to expect. I was definitely surprised about how much I liked
the album. When I saw her in concert she blew me away with her vocal
abilities. After talking with her awhile, I realized that most of her music
evolves from stories of her real life. This album has a nice mixture of soul
and hip-hop that kept me interested from beginning to end.
07 - SERGIO MENDES - TIMELESS: Sergio is a music legend, but I was kind of
skeptical about him working with Will.I.am initially. After listening to this
album I realized that Sergio Mendes was in great hands. This jazzy
compilation was a real treat because it featured some of my favorite artists
like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Black Thought, Stevie Wonder and Q-Tip. You
gotta love that!
08 - EMMANUEL - D'ILLUSIONS OF GRANDUER: I actually got turned on to this
album by a friend of mine over Berlin. Emmanuel a.k.a C Swing hails from
London, but this album has a very soulful vibe. This is a nice compilation
showcasing a lot of the talent over in the United Kingdom. Definitely a
sleeper album that most people missed.
09 - ERIC ROBERSON - THE APPETIZER: Erro is always consistent with his album
releases. He's still not a household name like he should be, but he gets much
love from his deep fanbase. This is just another solid album, which shows
that he definitely knows how to write quality music. The feel of his music
seems richer because he uses live instrumentation instead of the electronic
recreations that many others endulge in. I watch this kat perform live a
capella with a guitar and he ripped it!
10 - DONNELL JONES - LIFE OF A GEMINI: I can't really understand why the
world keeps sleeping on D. Jones? He was definitely AWOL for a minute, but he
came back hard with this album. His signature sound of mixing his vocals with
dope hip-hop beats is still on point. Another R&B album.
11 - LEMAR - TRUTH ABOUT LOVE: Lemar is a U.K. artist that is definitely
representing that old school Sam Cooke, Al Green & Marvin Gaye vibe for real
on this project. A powerful voice plus rich lyrics equals classic material in
my book.
12 - ALOE BLACC - SHINE THROUGH: Aloe Blacc is a true talent. I never
expected an album like this from a rapper. Honestly, I was never a fan of
Aloe's rap group Emanon. His solo project sounds nothing like the stuff he
did with his group. His sound is eclectic, but yet very soulful. I couldn't
deny that I really enjoyed this album.
13 - GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW - OLESI: FRAGMENTS OF AN EARTH: I discovered
Georgia from her guest appearances on the Platinum Pied Piper album in 2005.
She sounded pretty tame on that album compared to her solo project. The best
way to describe this album is experimental soul. I liked this album because
it was very unorthodox, so it's an interesting adventure into Georgia's mind.
This isn't just an album, it's an adventure!
14 - ANTHONY DAVID - THE RED CLAY CHRONICLES: The track "Smoke One" was my
joint, which made me check out this album in the first place. This album has
a lot of harmony and soul. I think this album is even better than his first
joint.
15 - SLEEPY BROWN - MR. BROWN: This album has been on the horizon for years
and it proved that sleepy is more than a back up vocalist, but he can hold
down an album on his own. Sleepy's album is full of sexual innuendos, but
it's musically catchy no doubt. He's not pushing the lyrical envelope with
this album by any means, but I think that is what I like about the most. It's
just soul singing fun that will definitely keep your head bobbin'!
