Released in 1997, \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e was an instant shot in the arm for a stagnant R\u0026amp;B landscape, propelled by Badu’s grit-laden double-reed voice and bluesy delivery that justifiably drew comparisons to greats such as Billie Holiday and Nina Simone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyrically, \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e was the poetic, existential and spiritual counterpoint to the slick superficiality of the contemporary status quo. Musically, Badu's organic and emotive approach was lush and laidback, harkening back to classic soul and R\u0026amp;B, but juxtaposing them with modern hip-hop beats. Anchored by hits such as \"On \u0026amp; On\", \"Next Lifetime\", \"Otherside of the Game\", and \"Appletree\" - \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e’s inspiring confluence of social consciousness and bewitching soul remains timeless. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Analog Vault\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo years after D'Angelo brought the organic sound and emotional passion of R\u0026amp;B to the hip-hop world with 1995's Brown Sugar, Erykah Badu's debut performed a similar feat. While D'Angelo looked back to the peak of smooth '70s soul, though, Badu sang with a grit and bluesiness reminiscent of her heroes, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. \"On \u0026amp; On\" and \"Appletree,\" the first two songs on \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e, illustrated her talent at singing soul with the qualities of jazz. With a nimble, melodic voice owing little to R\u0026amp;B from the past 30 years, she phrased at odds with the beat and often took chances with her notes. Like many in the contemporary rap world, though, she also had considerable talents at taking on different personas; \"Otherside of the Game\" is a poetic lament from a soon-to-be single mother who just can't forget the father of her child. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErykah Badu's revolution in sound - heavier hip-hop beats over organic, conscientious soul music - was responsible for her breakout, but many of the songs on \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e don't hold up to increased examination. For every intriguing track like \"Next Lifetime,\" there's at least one rote R\u0026amp;B jam like \"4 Leaf Clover.\" Jazz fans certainly weren't confusing her with Cassandra Wilson - Badu had a bewitching voice, and she treasured her notes like the best jazz vocalists, but she often made the same choices, the hallmark of a singer rooted in soul, not jazz. Though many fans would dislike (and probably misinterpret) the comparison, she's closer to Diana Ross playing Billie Holiday - as she did in the 1972 film Lady Sings the Blues - than Holiday herself. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/baduizm-mw0000180546\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eAllMusic\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e—\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e debuted on February 11, 1997, it was … jam-packed with concepts that spoke to a higher consciousness. Lead single “On \u0026amp; On,” the song that first brought her to wider public attention, makes several references to the teachings of the Five Percent Nation, a cultural movement grounded in the belief that all black people are divine. A core part of the Five-Percenter doctrine revolves around the idea of the black man as God. But\u003cem\u003e Baduizm\u003c\/em\u003e was more concerned with the empowered black woman, putting her work, relationships, family values, and quest for knowledge under the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s melodies and instrumentation reflected a range of influences, most notably jazz, soul, hip-hop, and R\u0026amp;B. Blended as they were on \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e, the result was branded as neo-soul, a concept attributed to record exec and D’Angelo manager William “Kedar” Massenburg. He signed Badu to her first label deal and released \u003cem\u003eBaduizm\u003c\/em\u003e on Kedar Entertainment, his imprint via Universal Records. Massenburg was already marketing D’Angelo as an alternative R\u0026amp;B artist when an early Badu demo landed in his lap, and “Erykah [was] a natural for me to follow that blueprint,” he boasted to Billboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErykah Badu’s role in neo-soul made her a visionary of the modern soul revival, and it’s an influence that reverberates still through Janelle Monàe, Solange, D.R.A.M., and many more. But more than just representing a moment in time, Badu emerged from the neo-soul haze unscathed, with a classic debut firmly in her pocket and an unwavering drive to inspire and create. That’s what she’s here for. And she’s still fly. – (via \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/thepitch\/1440-where-neo-soul-began-20-years-of-erykah-badus-baduizm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"300\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.spotify.com\/?uri=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0AdCd5aZbu62xuQTR1gLPe\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Motown  Format:2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Gatefold \u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2023 \/ Original: 1997\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Neo Soul, Contemporary R\u0026amp;B, Female Vocals\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: TAV Essential Listening\u003cbr\u003eFile under: Funk\/Soul\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Motown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456542253214,"sku":"00602557018066","price":70.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/f88c966b5e3d245aaf71769073f9cabb1fc97644.jpg?v=1646291839"},{"product_id":"joelculpeppersgt","title":"Joel Culpepper – Sgt Culpepper","description":"\u003cp\u003eHailing from south-east London, Joel Culpepper is an artist who’s been on Mr Bongo's radar for some time now.

He's proudly informed by vintage soul and R\u0026amp;B sounds of the 1960s and '70s while showing love and respect for contemporary hip-hop and possessing a mindset that's tuned into the world in 2021. Harding's first two albums, 2014's Soul Power and 2017's Face Your Fear, were outstanding works that confirmed he was as talented as anyone in the retro-soul community, with the addition of a visionary outlook and songwriting skills that set him apart from his peers. Harding's third LP, 2021's If Words Were Flowers, finds him going from strength to strength, with a set of tunes that deliver an emotional impact while finding him continuing to stretch his musical boundaries. The rich bass, echo-laden guitars, and layers of percussion are familiar from his previous releases, and Harding and producer Sam Cohen have added lush string and horn arrangements and massed vocals on several numbers that boost the atmospherics, reinforce the psychedelic undertow of the melodies, and give the music a feeling of thematic unity that adds to the effectiveness of the material, individually and as a suite. Much of If Words Were Flowers was written and recorded during a time of unrest and uncertainty in the United States, and without calling out specific political and social themes by name, it plays very much as a product of its time, with Harding using love as a metaphor to discuss human understanding and compassion as well as its absence (especially on the cool but impassioned \"Where Is the Love\"). The arrangements often nod to the conscious funk and soul anthems of the late '60s and early '70s, both in their taught grooves and the mingled moods of hope and confusion. And Harding continues to impress as a vocalist, delivering strong, authoritative, and perceptive performances on all eleven tracks. Harding drew the title If Words Were Flowers from the old saying that you should give flowers to those who matter in your life while they're around, not after they're gone, and this music is a gift to a world in need of some loving care; it's never sappy but offers a message of spiritual succor to those who need it, and it's a great, rewarding listening. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/if-words-were-flowers-mw0003586960\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAll Music\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0msliOKoJh1aYmcpuEoBn2?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Anti\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2021\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Funk \/ Soul\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Psychedelic, Soul\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anti-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41456753967262,"sku":"714092769111","price":39.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Curtis-Harding.jpg?v=1646296316"},{"product_id":"saultuntitledrise","title":"Sault – Untitled (Rise)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- The Analog Vault \/\/ Essential Listening -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish music collective Sault (a project that is helmed by songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Inflo, best known for his work with Little Simz, Michael Kiwanuka, Cleo Sol, and Jungle) are as enigmatic as they are prolific.

(About the most she has in common with them is that they all make music and have good pop sensibilities.)That’s a good thing. Chapters has a unique air to it, despite its existence in the over-saturated R\u0026amp;B marketplace right now. Despite that, many of her songs offer original takes on the genre. Crush (which features a soulful Usher performance), has a chorus that plays with staccato elements influenced by reggae. Yuna’s performance on Your Love would fit well in a Bond film (I’d happily lobby for her to sing a Bond track, actually).Perhaps it’s her background, but Yuna’s music has an ever-so-subtle hint of world music inspiration that I really like. It’s R\u0026amp;B that isn’t afraid to treat its audience as intelligent beings who are willing to take their time to digest something.

Double Booked, in fact, opens with jazz trumpeter and frequent Spike Lee film composer Terence Blanchard name-checking Roots drummer Questlove. Of course, Glasper was by no means the first to bring those worlds together—hip-hop figures like Q-Tip, Gang Starr’s Guru and Questlove had long laid the foundation, all of them instrumental in bringing an awareness of jazz to a whole new generation of listeners. But if Glasper wasn’t in on the ground floor of that sea change, his involvement predates his own crossover success, having played with the likes of Bilal, Erykah Badu, The Roots, J Dilla and Common in the late ‘90s. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Practically every note on this album shines with the splendor of the African-American contribution to music, and that’s the triumph here. When “Everybody Love” segues into “It Don’t Matter,” for example, the mood glides seamlessly between early-2000s neo soul and classic ‘70s soul. As a pretend radio DJ, Glasper has quite the supple touch, and his nostalgia for the glory days of both periods shines through. But as a real-life composer, he writes piano progressions that take your breath away, and Black Radio III is filled with them. Ultimately, it’s Glasper’s ability to write for, lead and listen to other musicians in equal measure that makes Black Radio III as vital and promising a statement as its predecessors. – \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pastemagazine.com\/music\/robert-glasper\/black-radio-iii-album-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePaste Magazine\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0rLSX7OMtwRHDjjCWL6tHC?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoma Vista – 00888072400313\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 x Vinyl, LP, Album\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEurope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJazz, Funk \/ Soul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhythm \u0026amp; Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Loma Vista","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41517869596830,"sku":"888072400313","price":65.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/4C1106_1.jpg?v=1648034660"},{"product_id":"jitwam-third","title":"Jitwam – Third","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn Third, Jitwam expands upon his beat-making abilities and production, fusing live music with samples and edits while elevating his craft to new heights.

Across ten tracks, he creates infectious songs which are gratifyingly hard to categorise with a mixture of modulated vocals and traditional instrumentation amalgamated with the headiness of soulful house and jazz. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jitwam.bandcamp.com\/album\/third\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOn Bandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"380\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6Hd2U9xPomEmLfKHekr9pG?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eRoya\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– ROYA014LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Album\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUK \u0026amp; Europe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022-07-22\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e22 Jul 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eElectronic,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJazz,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRock,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFunk \/ Soul\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSoul,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDisco,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHouse,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFunk,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDowntempo,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLatin,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePunk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Roya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42021104681118,"sku":"5060263728566","price":45.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/a3386540136_10.jpg?v=1662375074"},{"product_id":"eddie-chacon-sundown","title":"Eddie Chacon - Sundown","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The 59-year-old singer of Charles \u0026amp; Eddie fame is back with a second album of tightly written melodies and abstract tracks that draw you in to a rich, heady world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe question that haunts \u003cem\u003eSundown\u003c\/em\u003e is whether the unexpected success of \u003cem\u003ePleasure Joy and Happiness \u003c\/em\u003ecan be replicated: a sense of anticipation attends its release that clearly wasn’t there before its author’s status was upgraded from one-hit wonder to low-key R\u0026amp;B legend. The answer turns out to be a qualified yes: it replicates its predecessor’s success precisely because it doesn’t try to replicate it, taking a noticeably different route to invoking a mood of hazy calm. The sound has shifted. The drum machines have largely been replaced – or at least augmented – by live percussion; there is brass and woodwind alongside the samples and electronics; it feels jazzier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn \u003cem\u003eFar Away\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHaunted Memories\u003c\/em\u003e, Chacon, now 59, sings over muffled clusters and runs of electric piano notes, like a particularly inconspicuous improvised solo that runs throughout the track. The sound of \u003cem\u003eSame Old Song\u003c\/em\u003e exists on the cusp of pillow-soft early 70s soul and the era’s spiritual jazz. Chacon has mentioned Pharoah Sanders as an influence on the album, although the Lonnie Liston Smith of Astral Traveling might be a more obvious comparison – and its electronic washes and drones stop it shifting into the realm of homage or pastiche. And with its spiralling synth solo and 80s groove, you could append the descriptor “jazz funk” to single \u003cem\u003eHoly Hell\u003c\/em\u003e without anyone getting too upset, while noting that it is jazz funk of a distinctly warped cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone of the songs has shifted, too. Although a vein of melancholy still runs through the album – “I’ve been thinking too much,” it opens, “I’ve been barely hanging on” – it’s more obviously tempered by optimism, albeit optimism of an ambiguous variety. “We’ve got each other and that’s a start,” offers Holy Hell’s equivocal assessment of a relationship. “We can keep on shining \/ But we can’t stop the hands of time.” Meanwhile, The Morning Sun’s component parts seem to pull towards slightly different ends: the blissed-out lyrics and breezy sax at odds with the slightly discordant, faintly ominous synth weirdness that’s going on underneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTightly written melodies – as on \u003cem\u003eHoly Hell\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eStep by Step\u003c\/em\u003e’s appealingly rough-hewn take on a vintage slow jam – vie for space with more abstract tracks. Haunted Memories feels as if you are eavesdropping on a jam session at the precise moment when a song starts to emerge through the mist. The title track moves in the opposite direction, gradually, joyously unravelling. Regardless of the setting, Chacon’s voice sounds fantastic – his falsetto on Comes and Goes is particularly gorgeous – and the effect is the same, potent and affecting: it’s an album that pulls the listener in close and envelops them in its rich, heady world for its entire duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003ePleasure, Joy and Happiness\u003c\/em\u003e was released, Chacon talked about it as a culmination, half an hour of music into which he’d poured everything he had: “a perfect representation of who I am”. It made you wonder if it was a one-off, a curio unlikely to be followed up. Soothing, moving, occasionally disquieting and utterly immersive, \u003cem\u003eSundown\u003c\/em\u003e suggests its predecessor was something else entirely: merely the first step of an entirely unlikely and entirely delightful career renaissance.\" - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2023\/mar\/30\/eddie-chacon-sundown-review-delightful-career-renaissance-for-former-one-hit-wonder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Low-key R\u0026amp;B legend” Eddie Chacon’s first album with Stones Throw, Sundown, is out now. Twelve new songs, produced by and written with John Carroll Kirby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie’s story is by now well known: after achieving stratospheric success as one half of the duo Charles \u0026amp; Eddie, whose hit “Would I Lie To You” topped charts around the world, Chacon took over two decades away from the music industry. Meeting John Carroll Kirby in 2019 inspired his return to music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSundown is about “being humbled by how little time we have on this earth.” Eddie said to Crack Magazine: “I was away from music for over 20 years. As you get older, as an artist, youth culture becomes very intimidating. You start to ask yourself, ‘Is there a place here for me? Where do I fit into this?’”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter releasing the 2020 album Pleasure, Joy and Happiness, which was a word-of-mouth hit, Eddie realized he had more left in the tank. Eddie and John recorded Sundown at 64 Sound Studios in Northeast LA. The first half was created in Ibiza, Spain for a few weeks. A fan and his family lent Eddie their “Villa Can Rudayla” after following Eddie’s return, wanting the space to inspire creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I didn’t want to fight my age. I wanted to make something that you’d have to be my age and have the life experience that I’ve had to make,” Eddie said in a recent interview with The Fader. “But sometimes when you embark on something it’s almost as if you need to give yourself permission… I wanted to do something that was tender and kind. And I also wanted to do something that was counter to the pop industry. I wanted it to be a meditative experience.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stonesthrow.com\/news\/eddie-chacon-sundown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eStones Throw Records\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/37OThjyGLpz8zQFtW0l4KM?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5z2FD5SYgew?si=o2P_iALK85gfNvre\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width: 50%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLabel:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStones Throw Records – STH2478\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl, LP, Album\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReleased:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJazz, Funk Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStyle:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeo Soul\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Stones Throw Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42541076185246,"sku":"0659457247812","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/Eddie-Chacon.jpg?v=1681290636"},{"product_id":"shigeto-cherry-blossom-baby-sakura-droplet-vinyl-edition","title":"Shigeto - Cherry Blossom Baby","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeritage has been at the heart of Saginaw's recording project from the start; his middle name is Shigeto, a name passed down from his great grandfather, which means \"to grow\" — it was apt given his premature birth weight of less than a pound, and remains fitting for the evolution of his artistry, now nearly 15 years since he signed to Ghostly. Shigeto produces organic electronic music traversing jazz, hip-hop, house, and IDM, often integrating field recordings and familial themes. During his live performances, he frequently veers from his electronic equipment and lays down jazz-rooted rhythms on his first instrument, the drums. He made his full-length debut in 2010 with the cosmic hip-hop of Full Circle, establishing his long-term affiliation with hometown label Ghostly International.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCherry Blossom Baby\u003c\/em\u003e, Shigeto's first full-length statement since 2017, sprouts out from a collective thaw, ambitious, collaborative, and fully realized. The Detroit-based, Japanese-American musician, DJ, Portage Garage Sounds label co-founder, and longtime Ghostly International artist embraces the role of producer and composer. Bold and cultivated with intention, the band-built sound honors traditions in electronic, jazz, R\u0026amp;B, and hip-hop, a fusion that's become his signature, now more vibrant than ever. Zach Saginaw and a group of guests and players present a snapshot in time, a celebration of self-love and an expression of vitality distinctly rooted in Detroit and informed by his family’s cultural history. \"I am a cherry blossom baby,\" he says. \"We all are cherry blossom babies, we all are resilient, we all are growing, we all will continue to.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA reaffirmed sense of self, momentum, and maturation is apparent in where Saginaw situates here as a songwriter and producer arranging ideas alongside Detroit's finest, a physical manifestation of his WDET 101.9FM show highlighting “forward-thinking music from the Detroit Diaspora.” Every track is a collaboration, be it with a vocalist or multiple instrumentalists, a tradition forged in his Portage Garage studio sessions. \"It's the first time I'm writing this stuff myself and getting these players to make it even better…it's impossible to have made it at this level without them.\" The production and mix favor a full, throwback quality, eschewing modern compression for more spacious dynamics, a nod to psych and jazz records of the '70s and '80s. \"It was on purpose but also subconsciously, playing live with jazz bands and DJing b2b with mentors like Dez Andrés, playing older sounds over the last decade. Sonically I wanted to make this record feel like you could see multiple people in a studio.\" — via Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2055250373\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Ghostly International\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Vinyl, LP, Album, Sakura Droplet\u003cbr\u003eReleased: 2024\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic, Hip Hop\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Jazzy Hip-Hop, R\u0026amp;B Swing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Contemporary R\u0026amp;B\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ghostly International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279332892830,"sku":"804297842035","price":48.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a1689407219_10.jpg?v=1742970493"}],"url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/collections\/r-b.oembed","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
