Search - Various Artists :: Neo Soul United 3

As Described by Robb @ Soulcafe.net Aside from the quality & consistency of the Neo-Soul United franchise, the only thing bigger and better than its ability to put together some of the most talented artists and best songs the Neo-Soul genre has to offer, is its commitment to breaking new sound & ground as well as new artists. For this, we should not only go out and get V.3 (1 & 2 if you haven?t already), but we should thank Glory Records for carrying on the "struggle", and making the musical ride sweeter for both the fans and the artists. Neo-Soul United V.3, is a "tributive" revisitation, re-innovation and rebirth of what Soul and Rhythm & Blues (now mistaken as present R&B) music was in the 60?s & 70?s. This album is in a word, a throwback. A throwback to when classic, ageless crooners like Smokie, Curtis, Stevie, Donnie, and Marvin controlled your listening pleasure. This explosive period of creative expression, social consciousness, and passionately unparalleled artistry could be looked upon as the cornerstone of what makes us irrevocably American and human; at our best. For those who have forgotten, those who never knew, and those who are simply searching; music used to be a source of expression, reflection, joy, pride, and hope. If we ever needed meaning, direction, relevance, and a positive picture of love & inspiration in our music, we need it now, and it seems that Neo-Soul United V.3 came and delivered just that. V.3 revisits & reconnects us with the roots and reasons that make Soul and Neo-Soul music so . . . well, soulful. Like each of the previous volumes, V.3 takes art, expression, emotion, and talent; mixes them with some of today?s flavor, and yesterday?s grooves, and pours it all into the music. Consider Neo-Soul United V.3 the soundtrack of yesterday being channeled from yesterday?s artists to the artists of today. Neo-Soul United V.3 is in a class by itself among compilations as well as Soul/R&B albums released this year. If you?re looking for that old school vibe, but still yearn for new music, this is definitely the album for you.
