So, as far as the past couple weeks in free music goes: there was a LOT. Also, we’re commemorating the 6th anniversary of J Dilla’s passing. See below for a great blend of tributes and mixes.

Since I’m focusing on fewer selections for the blog, I wanted to give you all some ammunition for finding your own new music online. Mine is just one of many great music blogs out there, and the following video will give you a way to find many more and fortify your hard drives with much more awesome free music.

I was worried that by excluding podcasts, my list would consist mainly of Beat Tapes. It was great to find that’s not the case at all, as I found some excellent EPs and Singles from some pretty amazing artists. 2012 is already shaping up to be a great year from independent Soul Music. Here is my complete listening list for the week and here is my Spotify playlist.

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season and are enjoying the new Western calendar year. As for me, I took a much-needed break, caught up on some TV and time with my family and set some new goals for 2012.

So, a few things are going to change on the blog, mostly due to time constraints. There is really so much music coming at me on a weekly basis, that’s it’s truly impossible to give everything a fair listening. I’m talking specifically about podcasts and mixes. For the better part of last year, I really simply glossed over a mix/podcast to assess whether it got mention on the blog. That’s not fair to the blog or the mixes I’m featuring, so I’ve decided to eliminate the Mix category from future postings. I’ll probably still include them in the Google Doc and Spotify playlist when I can, so look for them there. I’d rather concentrate my time and focus on Albums, EPs, Beat Tapes and Singles. But keep an eye out on this blog for tips on how I find new music. That will more than likely include a list of podasters that I subscribe to, and I’ll more than likely make a list of them here at some point.

Well, 2012 is not messing around, music-wise. Both Diggs Duke and Robert Glasper came out of the gate at a full clip. Tons of producers hit with their beat tapes, and we got a great compilation of Jill Scott remixes from Bama Love Soul. Here is my full listening list as a Google Doc and also this week’s Spotify Playlist.

To catch up with December, here are my Spotify playlists for last month.

In order of favoritism:

#1 Malice & Mario Sweet – Happy 2 Year Deluxe Edition (Bandcamp – $5.99)

One of the best bangs for the buck and a record I was pretty much obsessed with for the entire year. If you can find it, there is a free version of this record around, but I wholeheartedly recommend you shell out the meager 6 bucks and get the bonus material of the Deluxe Edition. These guys are ones to watch in 2012.

#2 Tracy Cruz – Universoul Symphony (Amazon – $8.99)

Tracy’s sophomore effort was simply a masterpiece. I was impressed by the sheer amount of thought, originality, passion and vocal talent that went into this record. It gets my vote for the best songwriting of the year, and I really think the mainstream Soul blogs really missed out on highlighting this record more than they did. 

#3 Deborah Bond – Madam Palindrome (iTunes – $9.99)

You’ll notice a significant theme in 2011: Women dominated. Deborah Bond’s “Madam Palindrome” ran neck and neck with the Tracy Cruz record for my favorite spots. It was really difficult choosing a favorite. Bond does have the distinction of having my favorite music video of the year, “You Are The One.”

#4 Michelle Shaprow – Purple Skies (iTunes – $9.99)

I’ve been singing Michelle’s praises since late 2010. So it’s not surprising that “Purple Skies” is still dominating the iTunes music charts in Japan, maintaining the #1 spot. With a new publishing deal with BMG, it’s just a matter of time before she blows up stateside.

#5 Alabama Shakes – Alabama Shakes EP (Bandcamp – $4)

Man, this one came out of nowhere. Who’da though one of my favorite records of the year would be a Roots Rock album? This quartet is quickly gaining serious heat and buzz nationwide. This record is like hearing Janis Joplin and Otis Redding’s lovechild. Solid Southern Rock & Soul.

#6 Weeland & The Urban Soul Collective – The Golden Sessions (iTunes – $9.99)

If you know anything about me, you know I like well-crafted live Soul music. Weeland & the Urban Soul Collective has that great combination that takes me back to groups like The Brand New Heavies, Repercussions and The Brooklyn Funk Essentials. 

#7 Paris Toon – Baptism By Fire (Bandcamp – $10)

I’ve known Paris since the old original MP3.com days, and his band, Mothers Favorite Child, has always cranked out top-notch material. So it was a great surprise to see him using the band to highlight his own compositions. This record has some powerhouse musical and vocal performances in it. My only potential gripe with this recording is that some of the songs sound edited short. I would have loved to have heard the full version of all these songs.

#8 zebrahim – in my heart i am (Bandcamp – $1)

Ebrahim definitely made his presence known in the past year. Not only with this release, but his two-album project from late 2010. There’s something in the water in Toronto that is cranking out fantastic indie Soul. And at only one dollar, this record is a steal.

#9 Diggs Duke – Gravity (Bandcamp – 99¢)

By far, however, for my vote of the best 99¢ you’ll spend all year goes to Diggs Duke’s “Gravity.” Chock full of thoughful songwriting, excellent production and superb vocal execution, this is a must-have for your 2011 collection.

#10 Anthony Hamilton – Back To Love (Amazon – $9.99)

The Dark Horse of the year. I hardly expected this record, which came out so late in the year, to be one of my favorites. But Anthony Hamilton upped his game even further with the amazing songs a vocal performances in “Back to Love,” inching his way into my Top Ten.

Honorable Mention (Google these!)
Miles Bonny – Lumberjack Soul
Wildcookie – Cookie Dough
Eric Roberson – Mr. Nice Guy

I’ve been singing Michelle’s praises since late 2010. So it’s not surprising that “Purple Skies” is still dominating the iTunes music charts in Japan, maintaining the #1 spot. With a new publishing deal with BMG, it’s just a matter of time before she blows up stateside.

#5 Alabama Shakes – Alabama Shakes EP (Bandcamp – $4)

Man, this one came out of nowhere. Who’da though one of my favorite records of the year would be a Roots Rock album? This quartet is quickly gaining serious heat and buzz nationwide. This record is like hearing Janis Joplin and Otis Redding’s lovechild. Solid Southern Rock & Soul.

#6 Weeland & The Urban Soul Collective – The Golden Sessions (iTunes – $9.99)

If you know anything about me, you know I like well-crafted live Soul music. Weeland & the Urban Soul Collective has that great combination that takes me back to groups like The Brand New Heavies, Repercussions and The Brooklyn Funk Essentials. 

#7 Paris Toon – Baptism By Fire (Bandcamp – $10)

I’ve known Paris since the old original MP3.com days, and his band, Mothers Favorite Child, has always cranked out top-notch material. So it was a great surprise to see him using the band to highlight his own compositions. This record has some powerhouse musical and vocal performances in it. My only potential gripe with this recording is that some of the songs sound edited short. I would have loved to have heard the full version of all these songs.

#8 zebrahim – in my heart i am (Bandcamp – $1)

Ebrahim definitely made his presence known in the past year. Not only with this release, but his two-album project from late 2010. There’s something in the water in Toronto that is cranking out fantastic indie Soul. And at only one dollar, this record is a steal.

#9 Diggs Duke – Gravity (Bandcamp – 99¢)

By far, however, for my vote of the best 99¢ you’ll spend all year goes to Diggs Duke’s “Gravity.” Chock full of thoughful songwriting, excellent production and superb vocal execution, this is a must-have for your 2011 collection.

#10 Anthony Hamilton – Back To Love (Amazon – $9.99)

The Dark Horse of the year. I hardly expected this record, which came out so late in the year, to be one of my favorites. But Anthony Hamilton upped his game even further with the amazing songs a vocal performances in “Back to Love,” inching his way into my Top Ten.

In no particular order…

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway of Gummy Soul

Combining De La Soul with Fela Kuti, this was easily my favorite Hip Hop project of the year. A serious must-download.

CHRiS ROuSE – AROuSAL(i)The ARRiVAL

Chris Rouse has an excellent voice and a talent for seriously soulful hooks. Why this isn’t mainstream radio R&B is really beyond me.

Terrace Martin – The Sex EP

A passion project of Martin and DJ Devi Dev, this project is something you can easily put on at the end of a romantic date. Break out the bubbly and groove to this one.

Shakka – The Shakka Crown Affair

Shakka has a very interesting syle that mixes Ragga with R&B and Pop. This concept album follows Shakka on a soulful heist.

Mayer Hawthorne – Impressions – The Covers EP

Admittedly, I’m not a big Mayer Hawthorne fan, but this respectful batch of covers was well executed and catchy. 

Zo! – …just visiting three

Returning for his third installment of free covers, Zo! delights us with some great renditions of tracks we’ve all come to call favorites. Not to mention the greatest Wham cover ever.

@Peace – @Peace EP

Probably one of the grooviest offerings of the year, this one came as a total surprise. Excellent beat production, substantial lyrics and solid rap delivery. Great alternative Hip Hop.

Trumaine Lamar – Things I Should’ve Told Her

Make sure you scroll down for the free link. Very insightful R&B by a rock-solid vocalist.

J. Mitchell MelodiousFly – LOve Kills The Demon an EP

J. Mitchell made quite a splash with this Future Soul offering, featuring production by Exile. 

Daley – Those Who Wait

Daley’s debut mixtape gave us not only some fantastic original R&B tracks, but also some nifty covers and appearances from special guests.

Anduze – Sightings (Mixtape Vol.1)

This mixtape has a great blend of smooth soul and guitar driven grooves. Coupled with Anduze’s voice, which harkens to me of performers like Chico DeBarge, Van Hunt and Robin Thicke.

Daniel de Bourg: The DDB Mixtape Volume 2 – THE BRIDGE

Did someone order a heaping helping of funky white soul? Daniel de Bourg follows up his critically acclaimed “The Prelude” with this collection of further vocal goodness.

Balance and the Traveling Sounds – Departure EP

This band is definitely vying for “ones to watch in 2012.” Bolstered by their fantastic cover of Daft Punk’s “Something About Us,” this EP features one of the best new bands of the year.

Green Street – Endless Summer

Giving Balance and the Traveling Sounds a run for their money, Brooklyn crew Green Street are also offering up fantastic live jazzy Soul Hop. This also features Free Soul Music Saturday favorite Ken Ross.

MARTIAN LUTHER – EXTRA TERRESTRIAL BROTHER

Fans of Van Hunt and Amp Fiddler will appreciate Martin Luther’s solid free EP. “The Facebook Song” alone makes this a must-download.

The Revelations feat. Tre Williams – An Introduction To… [Free Sampler]

Make no mistake, Tre Williams can SANG. This 9-track offering is just retro enough to be cool yet not too derivative.

HONORABLE MENTIONS (Google these!)
Jae Fresh – Pictures of In?uence
BamaLoveSoul Presents Anthony Hamilton: The Hamilton Project
Kero One – The Catch UP
DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah – Back For More
Gil Scott Heron – Live At The Bottom Line ’77

Click play to hear my “Best of 2011? mix!

Welcome to the 1st installment of my “Best of 2011? posts. This one highlights the soundtrack of my year.

Not unlike 2010, 2011 was a great year for independent and mainstream Soul and R&B. It was difficult settling on a few songs to highlight, but here are just a few of my favorites from this year.

Speed of Light – Malice & Mario Sweet

What an unbelievably pleasant pairing of voices. With some firece production by Tall Black Guy, this was the feel-good track of 2011.

Tonight Feat. Meshell Ndegeocello – Miguel Migs

To say this groove is infectious is an understatement. It’s good to hear Meshell doing something a little more soulful and simple.

So In Love (ft. Anthony Hamilton) – Jill Scott

 
Probably the most mainstream of my picks. But it’s really hard to do much better than Anthony Hamilton and the incomparable Jill Scott.

Heroine – Wildcookie

Pretty dark in its undertones, but the groove and vocal are fantastically on point.

The Light – Funkommunity

I wore this track OUT. I mean, I was obsessed. This is where Future Soul is headed. And I love it.

Love’s Galaxy – Tracy Cruz

From her sophomore release, Universoul Symphony, which you will more than likely see on my “Best of 2011? albums list in the coming weeks.

Free – Teri Tobin

A fantastic message, harkening back to they days of Donnie Hathaway. Teri Tobin is definitely one to watch in the coming year.

Trouble – José James

Such a pleasant surprise to get some new Jose James this year. And he knocked this one out of the park.

Everything She Wants feat. Phonte – Zo!

Zo! absolutely killed on this Wham remake. A perfect vocal performance by Phonte and a nod to Michael Jackson at the end make this a must-listen

The Cure – Slakah the Beatchild

Not only did Slakah craft a genius song here, he also produced and directed his own music video for it. “Talented doesn’t even begin to describe this guy.

Welcome – Acer Maple featuring Michelle Escoffery

This probably gets my vote as the most beautiful song of the year. A wonderful acoustic performance with the sultry vocals of Michelle Escoffery. Sheer perfection.

Please make sure you check out my full mix on my Podomatic. Hope you enjoyed this list, and we’ll see you soon for more “Best of 2011? goodness.

This week was, in a word, daunting. Especially when it came to Beat Tapes and EPs. I swear, the music started flooding my inbox last Saturday night and didn’t quit until this Friday afternoon. I recommend checking out each and every EP listed this week and make sure you look at my listening list this week, as there’s probably a lot of stuff I glossed over and didn’t give a full listening. I had to be more picky about what I put in the Spotify playlist, so this week, all you get is full quality.

This is the probably the LAST Free Soul Music Saturday of the year, as the rest of the month I’ll be highlighting the best of 2011. We’ll just have to play it by ear. If something is irresistible, I will still post it to my Twitter.

Welcome to Free Soul Music Saturday.

Another insane week for new free music. I actually listened to several beat tapes this week. While they were perfectly adequate, a lot of them didn’t make the blog. But I do recommend you check out my full listening list this week to see them. I included them in the Spotify playlist too.

Welcome to Free Soul Music Saturday.

This week was INSANE with new music. It was truly a struggle to keep up with everything that hit my inbox. 

It’s prompted me to lead you to the DEAL OF THE WEEK. This is one you can’t pass up. Until Monday, First Word Records is putting up all of their compilations up for free. This is a ridiculously huge amount of grooves, and you’d better not pass it up. Go to their BandCamp and get to clicking.
