New R&B/soul Album Releases: Beyonce, Deniece Williams, Joe,
by admin ·
Last month was a vast improvement for new R&B releases (February was embarrassing), and now April is off to a good start.
So far, we’ve seen Beyonce revamp and re-release her current album, B’Day, with remixes and Spanish versions of “Irreplaceable,” “Listen,” and a collabo with Latina powerhouse Shakira on “Beautiful Liar.” Brand new material comes from Timbaland who offers his second solo album, while Anthony Hamilton releases Southern Comfort, a collection of tracks recorded before he signed with So So Def.
March saw releases from Musiq Soulchild, Joss Stone, Shirley Murdock, Amy Winehouse, American Idol finalist Elliot Yamin, and Marques Houston. We spoke to Houston about his fourth album, Veteran, which sees the sexy singer define himself as an adult (listen) to his grown-up female fans.
“The more adult fans they come up to you like ‘What you doing tonight?’ Because I’m in a relationship I gotta watch myself.” (Listen)
Upcoming April R&B/soul releases include the sixth studio set from Joe, 80′s star Deniece Williams (check below for audio), the legendary Mavis Staples and of course Ne-Yo.
