Neo-Soul

[THEV1LL4N]

I've noticed that there's nothing about Soul or neo-soul in these forums.

Does anyone have links to any good neo-soul songs? Im starting to like this genre even more as i listen to some songs.

i particularly like:

erykah badu (got all her albums).
chrisette michele - i am, epiphany
marsha ambrosius
mary j blige

and to further my liking, ive noticed that on BET there's a show called "Morning Cup" which plays some good songs.

Can people please post some links up...

Thank you.

thanks, thats on BET occassionally. if it wasnt for them i wouldnt have known about that song.

that roots one (rising up) is amazing, with chrisette on the chorus! oh man!
one reason i havent put this on my iPod is because i will listen to it way too much and get bored witht the song eventually.

props for posting J*Davey.

did you know about them before? ive just figured out who they are, they were on j dilla's "jay love japan" album.

if i hadnt waited long enough to see the name of the song at the start of the music vid, i may have never discovered "slooow" - nice production on the beat, love it.

now tiffany villarreal isnt really soul, id say shes more R&Bish - but close enough. i really admire her work. great voice and loved her first album. she needs to drop more albums and id also like to mention the features on the stat quo mixtapes - keep them coming.

j*davey is not neo soul and neither is "rising up." the closest the roots came to sounding like neo soul was on things fall apart.

it's a mostly garbage genre outside of the soulquarians and this post doesn't even belong on this board.

I actually agree with roaches here. The neo-soul genre had promise early on, but failed to deliver consistently. There's not a great deal of creativity there.

And Sandeep, yes I have been listening to them for a while. As roaches said though - it's not neo-soul.

i know, but i thought id post it in here to combine it all into one thread. chrisette michele's music has elements of neo-soul/r&b music; so for example, i put the roots song with her feature in here because of chrisette, not because of the roots.

John Legend and Anthony Hamilton are the only two in the genre I listen to really. John Legends first album Get Lifted still gets regular plays from me, classic in my book.

the only songs i have of JL's are:

Good Morning
Heaven
P.D.A. (We Just Don't Care)

Keep recommending some songs, especially those that sound like chrisette michele, anthony hamilton, john legend and j*davey.

thank you.

Oh man you should check out his whole first album. Theres some gems on his other albums but as a whole this is classic.

This one of my faves.
