ML94 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'm looking for some new music but whatever I search I end up already having on my iTunes list. What I'm looking for is soul music, not the 'soul' from the pop charts but REAL soul artists. People like the oldies e.g. Anita Baker. Anything that has a nice feel to it. I like the modern edge to some of the artists as well like Joss Stone who really can sing. I hope that makes a tiny bit of sense if not it's going to be a long night googling stuff :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Some of the early Chaka Khan stuff is amazing, featuring Anthony Jackson on bass too. Marcus Miller sessioned on a lot of the late 70's and early 80's stuff, have a listen to Al Jarreau and Luther Vandross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Here's a Soul/Jazz artist you'll never have heard of, KJ Denhart. I met her in New York playing in a little bar with some amazing players. I bought her Album 'Lucky 7' and it's definitely one of my favourites. There's some great bass on it too. Here's a video of her playing live. Check out 'Lucky 7' on spotify before you buy. [media]http://youtu.be/Rd50PK7pbmk[/media] And her version of Deep Purple's Smoke on the water (eh?) It's funky honest! http://youtu.be/FgxU9wqbQgw Edited December 28, 2013 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornats Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Do you have Spotify? If so, find all of the suggested songs above, pop them into a playlist then make a radio station from that playlist and star any of the tracks you like. Great way to find good new (or old) music.

risingson Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 More modern stuff. If you've not checked out D'Angelo, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Bilal, Roy Hargrove etc. etc. then do that, and then listen to these guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-0JZlrk4xA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLFzdcWVZjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If you think that Joss Stone can really sing then you have a wonderful journey ahead of you discovering hundreds of singers that are far better than Ms Stone.
