A new video from R&B underdog BJ the Chicago Kid, teasing toward his forthcoming release, Pineapple Now-Laters . The Davy Greenberg-directed video matches BJ's down-to-earth sensibilities. The music, on the other hand, is where the real ambition lies. Between a smooth beat and killer vocals, I can't say much negative about this track other than that it's criminally short. / via /
So... every now and then I get a little bit "commitments-ish" and I pine for some good english neo-soul. The Milk are back at it, and hitting every button/valve/key that I need when I get in the mood for a shout along chorus and some horns. This is the first single off their new album which isn't even released yet... found this track as a stream on the interwebs and did an audio capture on it, hence the shite audio - sorry bout that. The song just hit me, so decided to include it [...]
![D'Angelo - Untitled (How Does It Feel) (Live @ Zénith Paris) [2012-01-29]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/youtube/Xs_2JKTHYJU_130.jpg)
When it comes to an artist with as much musical prowess as D'Angelo , many fans will agree: if you need twelve years to come out with your next album, please, take it. Thankfully, the hiatus seems to be over as news has been surfacing that the once-troubled musician has been touring in Amsterdam and most recently, Paris. Yesterday Questlove tweeted a video of D'Angelo in Paris' Zenith , performing songs from Voodoo and Brown Sugar as well as some new material like a cover of the David Bowie single, [...]
After a football-filled day replete with all the raw emotions that accompany them, I'm retiring to bed with Coca o FSM echoing in my ears. Tass Bem, Pass Bem. You know the man, you know the drill. Happy Monday. Tass Bem, Pass Bem Depois de um dia recheado de futebol e as fortes emoções que o acompanham, retiro-me para a cama com Coca o FSM nos ouvidos. Tass Bem, Pass bem. E boa semana que vem.
Mayer Hawthorne , Fitz & The Tanturms , and Gnarls Barkley are among the pioneers in the neo-soul movement. Since I hate when bloggers write some word like "neo-soul" and expect the reader to know what they mean by it, I'll explain in a bit more detail. To me, neo-soul is a word I thought I made up just 5 seconds ago, but found out is a more commonly used word in the world of music; I can't say I'm surprised though... It refers to the revival of soul music from the Motown-era, maybe even a little afterwards. [...]
A sweet EP of neo-soul songs from singer Jesse Boykins III. He's been steadily dropping original tracks and remixes since the summer of 2011. I'm late to the party, but I'm happy to be here now. Way of A Wayfarer is 6-track release, and it can be downloaded right here . The dude did right to pick up a number of beats from producer Gold Panda, because these instrumentals compliment Boykins' style really well. He's got a breathy voice that's light on the ears, and a smooth sensuality pours out of nearly every song [...]
Photo by Cláudio Lwakuti I found out about Y'akoto through a post on Luanda Jazz Festival's Facebook page . It was love at first listen, as soon as she started crooning into the microphone. Jesus. That voice...her accent is glorious, her delivery is unique, her demeanor drips soul and class. It's that type of throaty cadence that I love. Y'akoto is a half German, half Ghanaian chanteuse that reminds me of Mayra Andrade in that both have lived and traveled extensively throughout West Africa and Western Europe, and both possess the type [...]
Blakface - Conspiracy Theories ft. SeanWyze Blakface - George & Weezy ft. Slik D Blakface - Farewell Letter ft. SeanWyze Blakface presents Sun of the Slums/Return of the Slums.

RJD2 is a master of style. Whether it's hip hop, funk, classic rock, or whatever it is, he blends genres together with perfection to create his own signature style. With Icebird, his project with Aaron Livingston, the evidence of this signature style is matched by Livingston's cool, carefree vocals. The result is music that I can't get out of my head, songs that I find myself playing over and over. And over. The Abandoned Lullaby (RJ's Electrical Connections, October 2011)
Prince Wadada's ragga style meet Coca's soulful beats. I think it's the first collaboration between these two Angolan artists. Have a listen: Sem Massada O estilo ragga do Prince Wadada com os soul beats do Coca. Acho que é a primeira vez que estes dois artistas colaboram. Disse assim o Coca: " He heyyy!! Hoje é sexta e como sempre dou um coxe de soul de borla...esta semana bumbei com o mo Faray...Prince Wadada que escreveu um som cheio de alma...eu acho que ta uma grande malha [...]
So good it hardly seems real: Coca o FSM with Marisa & Milton Gulli. Three of my favorite Lusophone artists in a single beat, in a single song. Marisa shines with her tried and tested spoken word, Coca with his soulful vibe, Milton in the chorus. Excellent for Friday afternoons such as this one. Amanhã Tão bom que nem parece verdade: Coca o FSM com Marisa & Milton Gulli. Três dos meus cantores lusófonos preferidos, num só beat, numa só canção. A Marisa sempre com o seu 'spoken word' alucinante, Coca [...]
If you speak Portuguese, the lyrics of this song speak for themselves. If you don't, well, I can't exactly translate its racy sexual lyrics at the risk of this site no longer being 'safe for work'. It seems that Coca is in love...enjoy this soulful chilled groove made in Angola. Hoje vou te dar com força Como disse acima, para quem fala português e obviamente consegue ler estas poucas palavras, a letra sexual e ofegante deste brinde groovy fala por si. Não vou me dar ao trabalho de a pôr [...]
For the grown folks in our audience, Oakland-based singer Goapele has emerged from her six-year hiatus with a new album called Breaking Dawn , released last week. If you like real, raw, smokey R&B, consider yourself a fan. It's refreshing for those of us who have listened to her since her " Closer " or " First Love " days, to hear her voice again this time with even more heat, if that is possible, than her last album. Never one to play by mainstream music's rules, Breaking Dawn [...]
Michigan soul man Mayer Hawthorne has been on the scene for three years now and shows no signs of going away. Hawthorne has received his share of criticism for not really doing anything new to the sound he pays homage to; however, no one can deny that his blue eyed soul is welcome in today's scene. Much like Hall & Oates and Michael McDonald did decades ago, and Robin Thicke more recently, Hawthorne has made survivors and fans of the Motown era take notice of white men who don't look like they'd ooze soul. "The Walk" is [...]
This song tastes so good after a long day of work. Especially a Monday. It's like aural therapy. When I hear a song that sounds and feels particularly good, I have the tendency to play it on repeat, paying no particular attention to how many times it's been played, thinking nothing of "ruining" the song. In my mind it's never ruined. I don't tire of it. When I'm playing a song on repeat, I know that I'll be listening to this particular song for a long time to come. It's exactly what happened with this Coca track. I put it [...]
Future Islands' "On the Water" comes out 10/11 and the band plays Mr. Smalls on October 26th. "Balance" is the first single from their upcoming release with a video from Jay Buim. Future Islands (formed 2006) is a synthpop band based in Baltimore, Maryland. They are often associated with (and tour with) bands affiliated with Wham City. These include Videohippos, Santa Dads, Blood Baby, OCDJ, Adventure, Dan Deacon, Weekends (band), Double Dagger, as well and others. The band met and formed in Greenville, NC while studying art at East Carolina University. At first it was Art [...]
By now, the average Earmilk reader knows at least three things about a great mix: 1. The first is that an accomplished DJ will use songs that you would never expect to hear, yet uses them in a way that completely works with the overall mix. 2. The second is that a successful mix involves the listener: taking them gently by the hand, and guiding them through a tasteful assortment of genres and artists. (And if the average mix is at least thirty minutes, they had better be tasteful.) If the songs are accurately [...]
