Emerging singer/songwriter Nya Jade is not an R&B singer. The independent artist and CEO of Katako Records is forced to market her debut CD My Denial as an R&B project simply because the brainless wonders who heavy hand the music industry can't seem to get it: not all Black women singers fall into the "R&B" category.

Ok, now on to the review.

Sweet-soul music, rare, pure and done the down-home classic way is the order of the day on Atlantic Unearthed: Soul Sisters, a compilation showcasing some of the finest B-side, rare, and never-heard tracks from Atlantic Records' female roster in the 1960s/early '70s.

Grimey, raw, pure and exciting are just some of the adjectives that can be used to describe Atlantic Unearthed: Soul Brothers, a compilation showcasing some of the finest never-heard 60s and early-70s tracks from Atlantic Records' male roster. 

Listening to the self-titled debut from singer/songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae is like hearing sunshine pouring into your ear, or soaking in a jacuzzi tub filled with liquid light. Lyrics, arrangements, production... everything's so completely satisfying it leaves you drenched and sated... and still needing more.
