Jack Studer is your neighbor. Heas your buddy sitting on the porch picking tunes with a smile on his face, flipping over an old bucket for you to pull up a seat. Jackas music is as welcoming as the man himself, but donat let it's easy-going nature fool you. Originally from Philadelphia and currently based on the outskirts of Nashville, he's been honing his singular voice and guitar playing prowess for over a decade, touring with his long time friends the West King String Band and, more recently, performing with Nick Shoulders. Yet after traveling endless miles and countless stages, he still makes time to sing a song all his own. What lies beneath the warm melodies and placid surface is the true heart of Jack Studer, a well of mischievous wit and fearless introspection. His songs stem from a place of seeking solitude in a reality of humming highways and whining airports & barrooms. Falling Forward, Jack's second album, is 13 tracks of slacker alt-country that binds traditional Nashville roots with contemporary indie rock sensibilities. Recorded live at his house and co-produced by Grant DaAubin (Nick Shoulders, Willi Carlisle), the album blends folk-rock, classic country, and confessional americana with the craft of a genuine drifter and veteran sideman falling forward into his own.

Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut full length, 2023's Come Around and Love Me, Jalen's career has undergone a meteoric trajectory. The track "If You Don't Want My Love" went viral, garnering 253 million streams to date.

He opened for Thee Sacred Souls on their national US tour, as well as Olivia Dean on her 2023 UK tour, and has sold out countless club dates across the globe as a headliner. Now, in 2026, with the embers of his debut still burning brightly, Jalen prepares to drop his eagerly awaited sophomore album, Doctrine of Love.The hard work and relentless touring behind his debut has fortified his craft. His message: "The doctrine of love holds that every thought and action should be guided first by compassion for others, because love is the highest measure of human worth." The tracks on the forthcoming album are born from this creed. With his deep knowledge and love of classic soul, Jalen delivers authenticity in abundance. Doctrine of Love blends pop sensibility and soulful melodies with raw grit and groove, expanding on the orchestral arrangements of Come Around and Love Me with flourishes of horns and gospel-kissed background vocals, creating a highly stylish exercise in modern soul artistry.

The Sons Of Robin Stone were a blue-eyed soul outfit that took Southwest Philadelphia by storm beginning in the early 1970s, and revolved around it's core of sensational vocalists: Jimmy Phillips (lead and first tenor), Joe Dougherty (lead, first and second tenor), Jim "Flick" Farrow (baritone and second tenor), John "Patcheye" Palladino (baritone) and Franny Flynn (bass). Visually as well as musically striking, their electrifying sets at Atlantic City's famed Steel Pier are the stuff of legend. They paved the way for acts such as New Kids On The Block and their influence is still felt today. Phillips was recently summoned into the studio by legendary producer Butch Ingram to record a brand-new EP featuring updated arrangements of three of the Sons Of Robin Stone's biggest hits as well as couple other beloved soul classics. Jimmy delivers a remarkable performance on The Temptations chestnut "I Want A Love I Can See," which was so good it was chosen as the lead single for the project.

If you were to ask Joey Quiñones where he found inspiration for his music, you wouldn't have to look far from where the East LA son grew up. Listen to his work, and you're transported to a two-block radius of his neighborhood-from the liquor store to Sign of Music record store on Whittier Boulevard and back to a homie's house. In those two blocks, you hear cumbia blaring from the stores, punk rehearsals from a garage, oldies drifting from a neighbor's yard-a sensory overload that follows you home,all those genres singing in your head at once.This isn't a revelation to longtime fans of Quiñones' music. He has established himself as a premier interpreter of his generation, dedicating his career to offering his unique perspective on the Chicano soul songbook. But before Thee Sinseers, before the lush orchestrations and pitch-perfect harmonies that became his signature, Quiñones cut his teeth leading various backing bands for visiting Jamaican ska and dancehall acts touring Southern California. He describes those years as reggae college, getting yelled at by every Jamaican artist who had a record out. Those years ofapprenticeship in rock steady and roots reggae would inform everything that followed-and on his new solo record Inna Soul Steady Situation, Quiñones finally showcases those influences front and center.That quintessential blending of styles rings out immediately on the opening track "Soul Steady Situation"-Quiñones's vocals enter like a selector toasting over the riddim, an alarm call announcing his intentions with an urgency that feels club-ready and immediate. Then comes the classic drum fill, dropping into a rock steady groove that establishes the vibe: this is dancehall-infused soul meant for movement, not just contemplation. It's a deliberate departure from Thee Sinseers' lush orchestrations, stripped down to showcase the Jamaican foundations that have always lived beneath Quiñones's work.Before you know it, you've taken off on a sonic soul spaceship with Quiñones at the helm, supported by his two-person crew: Eric Johnson from Thee Sinseers on saxophone and Eleazar from the Brown Boyz on piano, as you cruise across silver-lined clouds and dip your toes into dreamy moonlit grooves found on "Don't Let Go," "Driftin'" and "One MoreNight."What Quiñones manages to do on this record-with the full support of Colemine Records, the defining label for contemporary soul music happening right now-is prove time and time again that he is an artist willing to take risks and continue to show his prowess when it comes to experimenting with different styles, while still being able to authentically express himself. It's a partnership built on trust: Colemine has established itself as the premier destination for modern soul artists pushing the genre forward, recognizing that genre-blurring isn't a gimmick but the natural evolution of soul music itself.With that authentic self-expression, Quiñones and his crew manage to squeeze in some lighthearted fun as well, establishing a sense of equilibrium to counteract the heavier emotional overtones found on previous Sinseers efforts. A perfect example is "Bolsita," a tongue-in-cheek party song paying homage to iconic anthems like "Tequila" by The Champs and "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell & the Drells. But Quiñones doesn't stop there-he folds in electric boogaloo, early Ray Charles big band energy,and the Latin soul flourishes of Joe Cuba and Willie Colón, creating something that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Eric Johnson's saxophone takes center stage, adding playful solos that widen the sonic spectrum. The term "bolsita," which translates to "little bag," serves as the lingua franca for "let's get the party started"-it's admittedly corny, Quiñones will tell you, but it's the kind of song where everybody's going to shout along whether they like it or not. And that's precisely the point.

Mamas Gun is a 5-piece band from the UK. Their sound is one that straddles so-called blue eyed soul and the best of soul in the black music tradition. With soul music being the common ground between the 5 members, echoes of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Bobby Caldwell, Bill Withers, Lewis Taylor and Sly Stone can be heard weaving in between the sonic threads of their frequently uplifting and heart rending music.Their sixth album 'DIG!' was recorded live to 16 track tape and features Brian Jackson on its title track. Mamas Guns band members include Andy Platts - the songwriting frontman with the golden falsetto; Drummer Chris Boot – the band's backbone, supplying the heaviest grooves with a jazz player's lightness of touch; Bass player Cameron Dawson, flowing and fearless echoing the spirit of James Jamerson but with a melodic sound uniquely his own; Terry Lewis, a guitarist whose taste, feel bring a warm old school validity, and last but by no means least; Dave Oliver, a dynamic keys player whose profound command of the piano, wurlitzer and hammond organ joins the dots from jazz to gospel to soul with ease.

Market East finally shares their most important statement to the world in the form of their debut LP, French Street. The group, composed of Kurt Cain on vocals, Vincent John on vocals, bass, guitar and keys, and Maxwell Perla on vocals, drums and percussion, deliver their signature celestial three part vocal harmonies over arrangements that have never sounded so rich and compelling. French Street is extremely soulful and the vocals are lush, like if the Zombies recorded at Muscle Shoals. The lyrics are poetic and nostalgic, as the group wrote songs about their bygone "golden" years. Back then, the boys didn't have much besides each other and their shared love of music. Vocalist Kurt Cain lived in a small rowhome in North Philadelphia on a nearly deserted alley called French Street. It was here that Cain, John, and Perla came together every week to escape reality and get high off sharing music. They developed a deep appreciation for all things 60s and 70s, from Simon & Garfunkel to The Moments, and everything in between. All these years later, and Market East has created a classic record of their own. From the baroque pop of the title track and the roaring soul of "Roses," to the Latin flavors of "Echoes of My Heart" and the orchestral flares of "Everyday, Springtime," Market East shows their impressive range. Recorded to analog tape in Philadelphia, the record was produced by Market East and Eraserhood Sound. Grab your copy of this timeless classic today.

Iconic singer Mavis Staples is an alchemist of American music, and during her 70+ year career one of her most beloved musical moments was her riveting performance in Martin Scorsese's film' The Last Waltz,' performing "The Weight", with The Band, a moment that forged a life-long friendship between her and Levon Helm. Staples came to Woodstock, NY to perform as part of Helm's renowned Midnight Ramble series, and the ensuing concert-available now for the first time on the rousing new ANTI- Records release 'Carry Me Home'-would mark a personal high watermark for both artists. Captured live in the summer of 2011, 'Carry Me Home' showcases two of the past century's most iconic voices coming together in love and joy, tracing their shared roots and celebrating the enduring power of faith and music. The setlist was righteous that night, mixing vintage gospel and soul with timeless folk and blues, and the performances were loose and playful, fueled by an ecstatic atmosphere that was equal parts family reunion and tent revival. Read between the lines, though, and there's an even more poignant story at play here. Neither Staples nor Helm knew that this would be their last performance together-the collection marks one of Helm's final recordings before his death-and listening back now, a little more than a decade later, tunes like "This May Be The Last Time" and "Farther Along" take on new, bittersweet meaning. The result is an album that's at once a time capsule and a memorial, a blissful homecoming and a fond farewell, a once-in-a-lifetime concert-and friendship-preserved for the ages. Staples and the night's soulful crew of backup singers handle the vast majority of the vocal work here, but it's perhaps album closer "The Weight," which features Helm chiming in with lead vocals for the first time, that stands as the concert's most emotional moment."It never crossed my mind that it might be the last time we'd see each other," says Staples. "He was so full of life and so happy that week. He was the same old Levon I'd always known, just a beautiful spirit inside and out." "My dad built The Midnight Rambles to restore his spirit, his voice, and his livelihood," says Helm's daughter, Amy, who sang backup vocals with her father and Staples at their performance. "He'd risen back up from all that had laid him down, and to have Mavis come sing and sanctify that stage was the ultimate triumph for him."

Grim days call for fierce love. And Mavis Staples, one of the most enduring figures in American music, is laying it down. Sad And Beautiful World is the latest solo album from a national treasure and multigenerational talent. Produced by Brad Cook, Sad And Beautiful World spans seven decades of the American songbook - a range nearly as vast as Mavis' career - and includes reinventions of timeless songs by Tom Waits, Sparklehorse, Gillian Welch, Frank Ocean and more. Cook imagined an album in the tradition of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Will the Circle Be Unbroken, a group of artists coming together to celebrate community - in this case, one centered on Mavis. Collaborators include Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Jeff Tweedy, Derek Trucks, Katie Crutchfield, MJ Lenderman, and Justin Vernon. Inducted into several halls of fame (Blues, Rock, and Gospel), a Kennedy Center Honoree, a winner of multiple GRAMMYs (including a Lifetime Achievement Award), Mavis is musical history. She's collaborated with nearly every major figure of her era(s), from Bob Dylan to Prince, Aretha Franklin, and Willie Nelson - not to mention countless stars from subsequent generations.

An extremely rare 45 single stands as the only release from a talented young soul music vocal group named The Metaphors. "Come On Back (To Me)" b/w "You Have Everything (That A Man Can Have)" was originally released in 1972 on the New York City-based RAD records label in a limited run. The original vinyl is so rare that a copy sells for close to $1000 in rare groove circles. The American rapper Prodigy, one half of the hip-hop duo Mobb Deep, sampled the "B" side of the single on his 2012 release, "Black Devil" a track from The Bumpy Johnson Album - which might have first spurred collectors to search for the original 45, thus driving up the price. According to Phil Valentine, the songwriter and lead vocalist on the track who was only 18 years old when they recorded it, both songs on the single were recorded first on a 12 track, then bumped up to a 16 track. The songs were both supposed to have a final mix and a do-over for the vocals, but their manager at the time (Ronald Alexander Davis, who produced the tracks) ran out of money to finish - so he created the RAD label to release it on vinyl. The resulting single is a quick-mix, originally intended for presentation as a demo to the Buddha record label. The members of The Metaphors consisted of Valentine, Donald Jefferson, Tom Weathers, Jerome McCloud and Jimmy Ingram. The backing band was led by Ingram, who played keyboards and arranged, and consisted of Sly Boone on guitar, Geroy Grant on electric bass, and drummer Clyde McCray. Ingram went on to have a long career in the world of Philly Soul as part of the family band INGRAM, and is still active as a songwriter, arranger, saxophonist, and keyboard player. The Metaphors are no more, but their sole 45 has earned them their rightful place in the history of soul music - and this exclusive release ensures that their legacy will live on for generations to come.

With their upcoming album Waves, Moonchild enters a bold new chapter. A deeply personal and emotionally raw project, Waves explores themes of grief, healing, resilience, and self-worth, eschewing the love songs that once dominated their catalog. "This album is about processing loss and stepping into your power," says Amber. "It's a lyrical departure, but it reflects what I've been going through these past few years."The project also marks a return to in-person collaboration and a new embrace of sampling and sonic experimentation. The result is an album that feels more vulnerable and grounded than ever, while still pushing the boundaries of their signature sound.
