New Music From Some Favs

Jeffrey Osborne, Toni Braxton lead 2018 Upcoming Album Release

Classic Soul Favorites

It is always fun for us to hear new music from artists who have been bringing us joy for years. And the new year will bring a few of them back for their first releases in awhile. Leading off the pack is classic soul man Jeffrey Osborne, who will issue Worth It All in the Spring on the Mack Avenue label, followed closely by new labelmate Tower of Power, coming June 1 with a brand new one, and Candi Staton later in the Summer.

But first things first: In February, Toni Braxton releases her first solo album in eight years, with Sex & Cigarettes, and if the lead single, “Deadwood,” is any indication, it will be a winner. Also the women from En Vogue return in March with Electric Café, Chrisette Michele brings us Out of Control in April, and N’Dambi will be back after nearly a decade with Dream Junkie. Finally, Justin Timberlake just announced that his new album, Man of the Woods, will appear on Feb. 2.
