styles pumping through it. This album is looking at how I came to be and who
I am.” |

native of Nashville delivered a critically acclaimed debut.. |

Soul is what this young lady exudes. Abby Dobson, born in Jamaica, West Indies
and raised in Brooklyn, NY (Flatbush), always knew she was meant to be a singer.

a name for herself in a big way. LSR.com Artist |

Mel
Johnson - Independent Artist of the Week
Mel Johnson is a naturally talented artist - he writes, he produces, he sings,
he entertains. His soulful collage of funk, soul, and R&B flavored rhythms
makes the statement that one should live life with no regrets. Mel speaks directly
to the heart. While Mel's music may be considered society-friendly and intellectually
profound, he provides enough musical variety to appeal to the player, ballers,
and shot-callers. LSR.com Artist |

Fertile
Ground - Independent Artist of the Week
Fertile Ground always bring joy and passion to their gumbo of soul, jazz, and
afro-caribbean roots. and with the georgeous voice of Navasha Daya (a cosmic
queen of soul) delivering their message of peace, love and unity, all doubt
and cynicism are firmly squashed against the wall. |

India.Arie
INDIA.ARIE often says that she put a dot in her name to make it recognizable,
a trademark of sorts. But in the year-and-a-half since the release of her Motown
debut Acoustic Soul, this artist's true signature has emerged: honest, unpretentious
and yet deeply affecting music. Its lack of glitz may have seemed counter-intuitive
in the wake of the teen pop phenomenon and the endless bling-bling materialism
of hip-hop. But, cutting through the static, denial and inertia of the world
with a simple yet profoundly powerful message -- Love yourself! – |

Vivian
Green
Scheduled to drop in November, “A Love Story,” according to Green
is an actual love story, her story. The tracks on the album are set in a certain
order to help accentuate the happiness and sadness Vivian has experienced in
her relationships. “The album is a sophisticated, autobiographical rumination
on a relationship gone wrong, learning to love yourself, and then finding true
love,” Green says. |

Seek
- Independent Artist of the Week
Seek fuses classic
sounds with the latest cutting-edge musical nuances. The soulful, thought-provoking
lyrics woven through jazz-inspired grooves complete a sound that is elegant
in its composition, inspirational in its delivery, and like nothing you've ever
heard. These original songs will simultaneously move your feet and stir your
soul.

Slick
& Rose - Independent Artist of the Week
When two unconventional minds, both of whom share a love for music and the arts,
came together in 2000 as a musical duo, it resulted in Atlanta-based Slick &
Rose, a dynamic pairing whose vocal ability and writing skill provide a pleasant
mixture of sass and class. |
|
 |
Donnie
The Colored Section is a journey though black history with a message that is
as classic as it is timeless. So, when, you listen to Donnie, never mind that
his voice closely resembles that of Mr. Hathaway himself. Forget about the fact
that you will sometimes find yourself listening to a song over again because
you could not quite capture his message on the first run. Do accept Donnie for
who he is, the next generation and the future of modern soul music. |

Cody
ChestnuTT - Independent Artist of the Week
Cody ChestnuTT's 'Headphone Masterpiece' is a rare project that combines
substance and mass accessibility necessary to transcend all format and demographic
barriers and become a musical and cultural phenomenon. From the swaggering rock
of Upstarts and a Blowout to the gritty urban groove of Serve This Royalty and
the infectious pop of Look Good in Leather, this record has something for everyone. |

Conya
Doss - Independent Artist of the Week
If you're like me, when you think of cities that our Soul Artists are rising
from, you think of cities like Philly, Atlanta, New York, Dallas, and such.
Never does it cross your mind that cities like Cleveland, Ohio serves as home
to an up and coming artist that is creating a Soulful buzz. I know Ohio had
the spirit of soul music considering it's home for The O'Jays, The Ohio Players,
Bobby Womack to name a few, but the spirit has awakened. The energy has been
rejuvenated cause CONYA
DOSS has released her powers. |
|
 |
Dave
Hollister
Things in the game done changed, but Dave Hollister serves up his special blend
of R&B/Soul truth serum the way he always has – straight and to the point. Ask
about his inspiration for this latest album and he says bluntly, “The same as
the last, the same as all of them really.” Simply put, his inspiration is whatever
he was going through at the time. |
|
 |
Maysa
- Independent Artist of the Week
WHAT? You say you haven't heard Maysa Leak's voice before? Oh, yes you
have!! Now think back. Remember "Deep Waters"? I thought you did.
She recorded that song with the jazz funk band, Incognito, and she's gone non
stop ever since. Maysa's career began with none other than the phenomenal, Stevie
Wonder, on the soundtrack for the film, Jungle Fever. |
|
 |
Brown
Sugar Soundtrack
This cd has everyone on it from Mos Def to The Roots to Mary J. Blige to Jill
Scott. All of these artists understand that hip-hop needs to be elevated by
creating diversity in their music by infusing hip-hop (break beats and bass)
with R&B/soul, reggae, jazz, rock and Latin influences together. And this
soundtrack is exemplary of that diversity. |
|
 |
Heather
Headley
Where can a voice take you? If the singer happens to be Heather Headley, the
answer is simply: anywhere! Blessed with a rare musical ability and a gift for
connecting with an audience, Heather has won countless converts throughout her
storied career as an entertainer. Already a Tony award-winner, Heather now proves
herself a wondrously talented R&B solo artist with her upcoming RCA debut
album This Is Who I Am. |

Delila
Harris - Independent Artist of the Week
When you hear the phrase "Bigheaded Girl," what do you think? Well,
after one listen to the debut album by Delilah Harris you will think soul, passion,
poetry and love. Delilah Harris is the next big thing. She blends poetic and
deeply personal lyrics with great music and real vocals (a rarity today). |

Moonshyne
- Independent Artist of the Week
Eclectic, cutting-edge, soulful and bold are just a few adjectives that describe
Moonshyne-a multitalented singer, songwriter, producer and engineer. Moonshyne’s
musical journey began more than 10 years ago, while growing up in Florida.
A gifted musician, Moonshyne plays the bass and lead guitars, piano, clarinet,
drums, tenor and alto saxophones. He was heavily influenced by the smooth vibes
of Sly and the Family Stone, the sweet guitar of Jimi Hendrix and the psychedelic
grooves of George Clinton. Moonshyne’s lyrics and music combine the essence
of neo-funk and soul. |

Craig
David
Don’t let the proper, British accent fool you. Craig David can get down
and “dirty” with the best of them. The Urban market may not show David
the love he’s shown in Pop circles, but with his sophomore CD, Slicker
Than Your Average, the artist is out to show that labels be damned, he’s
all about bringing the funk. |
|
 |
Yewande
- Independent Artist of the Week
Yewande (pronounced E-wán-day) is an Alternative Soul singer-songwriter
whose music captures the essence of the human experience. Her Louisiana roots
resonate lyrics that weave stories of long ago with the beat of today’s
sound – Blues, Rock and Soul. Yewande’s birth name (Yoruba for “Reincarnation
of Grandmother”) after all foretells her place amongst the great storytellers
that will undoubtedly lead the music industry into a new era. |
