CD Baby Editor's Picks - Urban + R&B
Otis GoodnightOTIS GOODNIGHT: otis goodnight - An intentionally-electric brew of sassy acid-jazz, tell-it-like-it-is hip-hop, rich, smoovey soul, sexy funk and all out rock, Otis G's brew is most definitely greater than the sum of the parts; the creativity and knack for groove is exponential. With male/female vocals, the album ranges from lilting and swaying goodness to all-out booty-shakin' badness. Reaching from the psychedelic age to current musical tastes, this is the album for a seasoned palate. HEAR IT

After millions of CDs sold and an impressive trail of accomplishments from education to film production, his focus and talent comes to a fine point in this double CD of textured, intricately-layered and subtlely-crafted R&B pop hits. From nuance to outright passion, "Music From My Mind" delivers R&B excellence in every shade of integrity.HEAR IT
KendraKENDRA: myriadmorphonicbiocorpomelodicrealityshapeshifter - An ingenious mixture of smoky, late night, trippy Jazz, buzzy, suggestive, sensual Soul and lightly driving, deep-running funk, this album places itself with some of the favorite CD Baby indie groove albums, including Moonraker, as well as the big label women Erykah Badu and Jill Scott. With her proud but coy vocals she can go from R&B funk to laid back seductive jazz soul in a heartbeat. If you're needing a soundtrack for the lava lamp, this is it. HEAR IT
Jennifer PerrymanJENNIFER PERRYMAN: jennifer perryman - From breathtaking, piano-based folky pop that seems to match and celebrate the expanses inside of your mind (think Kate Fenner, Jann Arden, Annie Lennox) to a swaying, groovy step into R&B and even a reach into funk (think a slightly toned down India Arie or Sade), one thing is for certain- no matter what this talented woman attempts, she's bound to succeed. With a powerful, from-the-gut voice that carries her through many a genre and with her attention to a solid foundation in songwriting, every element, from jazz to pop, is closely refined and celebrated in this rich, full-spectrum album.
