Aloe Blacc Lift Your Spirit Interscope / XIX Retro-Soul AllMusic Avg User The rapper-turned-singer's first major-label album spiffs up his retro-soul and mixes it up with touches of blues, gospel, and a blast of stadium folk. Joan as Police Woman The Classic Play It Again Sam Alternative Singer/Songwriter AllMusic Avg User Joan as Police Woman's fourth album is a soulful treatise on happiness and what it takes to get it. Metronomy Love Letters Because Alternative/Indie Rock AllMusic Avg User Trading breezy synth-pop for urgent, heartbroken soul and psych-rock influences, Metronomy deliver some of their most gripping music. Elbow The Take Off and Landing... Polydor Alternative/Indie Rock AllMusic Avg User The band grapples with middle age on its gorgeously melancholic sixth album. Ledisi The Truth Verve Adult Contemporary R&B AllMusic Avg User This succinct, largely upbeat, wholly R&B set from one of the genre's most consistent voices features guest appearances from...nobody. Bill Pritchard A Trip to the Coast Tapete Records Alternative Singer/Songwriter AllMusic Avg User After one of a few lengthy disappearances, this cult songwriter resurfaces with an album of optimistic jangly guitar pop.
