New soul singers of 2012 who is your favorite
 

I love that music in 2012 is starting to swing back to soul. Who are some of your favorites new artists? try some of these and let me know what you think

Mayer Hawthorne: Let Me Know
Eric Hutchinson: Rock and roll
Alabama Shakes: Hold On
Brett Dennen So Much More

Any cool songs out there that go with this beat??

One of these days soul music is going to make a comeback, but 2012 is not one of those years.

How sad...I was, and still am a Riot fan. Though I haven't played any of their albums in awhile. My favourite was always the debut LP...'Rock City'. Some really powerful hard rockin' songs there for sure ;) I still own several of their albums on vinyl, and CD. Here's one of many favourite songs...

Huge fan of Mayer Hawthorne

But Alabama shakes comes in close 2nd for me

Recently been enjoying:

Al Greens Lay It Down album

Charles Bradley No time for Deaming album. I love the backing music on the album played by the Menahan Street Band. The interviews I have seen of him, he always comes across as being humble and grateful for his opportunity to record his own music. Before he got his break he was a James Brown impressionist.
