[nu-soul mag.] Top10 nu-soul album of 2009
Another year in music is complete and Nu-Soul Magazine’s editor Norman
Mayers has chosen his top 10 albums that best illustrate the concept of
Nu-Soul. These 10 albums were chosen because they made the biggest impact on
Norman’s mp3 player in 2009 and because they are all albums that you can
purchase (no free downloads on this list).
Nu-Soul is not simply about soul music but is about the fusing of styles,
pushing beyond the boundaries of traditional soul to create a sonic statement
that extends into the future. At Nu-soul the production and sound elements
matter just as much as the lyrical content. Soul, house, dubstep, drum&bass,
electronica, hip-hop - the following albums incorporate some or all of these
genres and have breathed new life into Soul Music as a whole. Enjoy the list.
Stay tuned for the Best Free Downloads, and Best Tracks of 2009.
