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.

February 2023 marked the arrival of an album that's redefining the sound of soul for a new generation: October London's The Rebirth of Marvin. Signed to Death Row Records by Snoop Dogg, the 2025 Grammy nominated October London channels the spirit of Marvin Gaye in this homage to one of music's most soulful voices, capturing both Gaye's timeless influence and London's own unique artistry. Reflecting on the project, October London shared, "Dear Marvin, I'm not trying to be you. That's impossible. You're one of a kind. I just want to pay homage to you, brotha. You paved the way for this sound, and I'm just here to make sure they don't forget." The album's lead single 'Back to Your Place' has already topped the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart, captivating listeners and earning three Soul Train Music Award nominations. From his beginnings as a rising artist under Snoop Dogg's mentorship to his place as a force in modern R&B, October London's journey has led to this pivotal moment. The Rebirth of Marvin is both a tribute and an evolution, a soulful reminder of the legacy Gaye left behind - and of the new pathways London is creating for it today.

'New You,' originally a CD-only release in 2013, is timeless funk & soul - deep pocket & heavy grooves. Now, over a decade later, it is finally available in LP form. Orgone has been delivering dirty, organic, California soul with heart since 2001; music that grabs you by the collar, pulls you to your feet and shoves you wantingly onto the dance floor. It all started with two kids from the San Fernando Valley,whose shared affinity for gritty soul records of the 60s and 70s collided with the colorful music cultures brewing in Los Angeles during the late 90s. That friendship sparked a movement, and Orgone has been delivering nothing but gold to the funk faithful ever since.

The famed blue-eyed soul outfit that took Southwest Philadelphia by storm beginning in the early 1970s, the Sons Of Robin Stone revolved around a core of exceptional 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 appealing as well as musically, their electrifying live shows 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 other vocal groups, and their influence is still felt today. Lead vocalist Jimmy Phillips was recently summoned into the studio by the legendary Philly Soul producer Butch Ingram to record a brand-new EP featuring updated arrangements of three of the Sons Of Robin Stone's biggest hits: "Let's Do It Now," "Love Is Just Around The Corner," and "Got To Get You Back." As an added bonus, Jimmy delivers remarkable takes on the Temptations' "I Want A Love I Can See," and The Spinners classic "I'll Be Around" featuring guest vocalist Cherrill Rae of the popular 1970s Welsh-Canadian husband-and-wife disco - pop singing duo The Raes. The production is top notch with expert backing from The Ingram Brothers band, the first family of Philly Soul -with backing vocals by the band with added spice from Sharon Ingram and Nikita Harmon.

With Lost Lost Lost, Pratt & Moody gather the defining moments of their journey and package it with fresh soul gold into one cohesive, slow-burning statement. What began as a series of cult 7"" vinyl releases - often mistaken online for forgotten soul classics from another era - now finds it's natural home in album form. Written and recorded with Timmion's trusted house band Cold Diamond & Mink, the record captures the duo's unmistakable chemistry: emotionally rich songwriting wrapped in warm, analog textures that blur past and present.From the velvet sway of ""Addictive Touch"" to the cinematic tension of ""You Bring Me Joy"" and the beat ballad ache of ""Hard Way To Live,"" the album moves effortlessly between bedroom-soul intimacy and widescreen drama. ""Hang Tight"" opens with a blissful piano figure that nods to gospel-tinged 1970s soul before unfolding into a full-bodied groove, while ""Hooked On Your Love"" glows with golden-age group soul harmony sweetness. Across both sides, Pratt's finely tuned vocals and Moody's expressive guitar work anchor songs that feel timeless rather than nostalgic.At it's core, Lost Lost Lost is an album steeped in atmosphere - lush downtempo moments sit alongside sweet harmony-driven soul, cinematic builds dissolve into dark restrained grooves. Analog string synthesizers, vibraphone accents, tremolo guitar, and deep-pocket rhythms create emotional tension without excess. Pratt & Moody's strength lies in their melodic instinct: songs that feel big without being pompous or losing their human quality. The result is a record that feels cohesive, immersive, and that real thing - reaffirming the duo as key architects of the contemporary lowrider soul revival.

NI writes plainly about desire, grief, intimacy and self-possession, often leaving the emotional edges exposed. From the hushed intimacy of "Face in the Evening" to the hazy romance of "Middle of Nowhere", the album traces the story of a woman learning to trust her own voice and experience.

It stands as a definitive evolution of the distinct sound Blxst pioneered, blending crisp, trunk-thumping 808s with soulful, nostalgic chords and his signature, effortlessly smooth vocal runs.Entirely self-produced and co-written, Labor of Love bridges the gap between the sun-drenched grit of Los Angeles street culture and the vulnerability of late-night bedroom playlists. From the bounce of celebratory anthems to introspective, late-night drive confessionals, Blxst curates a tracklist that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. It explores the sacrifices made in the pursuit of greatness, paying homage to the sonic pioneers of LA while firmly cementing his own place as the vanguard of the city's modern sound. It is a celebration of independence and the self-made mentality, reminding listeners that he remains the chief architect of his own destiny.Ultimately, Labor of Love is a testament to the grind, capturing the sleepless nights and tested relationships that pave the road to success. Blxst puts his heart on the line to show that the work itself is where the true passion lives, creating an album for the city, for his family, and for everyone who stays dedicated to their craft. More than just a collection of radio-ready hits, this project is a cohesive, cinematic experience from one of music's most reliable hitmakers. It is a definitive reminder that Blxst isn't just riding the wave-he is directing the current.
