I've been a fan of Esperanza Spalding since seeing her on a "Performance at the White House" special. That relaxed vibe, coupled with her beautiful voice and that HAIR, caught my attention immediately. Each of her albums reflect a maturing of an artist -- not that they're necessarily "better" than the previous, it's that they are different and include a different voice each time.
After hearing "Black Gold," I have been patiently waiting for the full Radio Music Society to drop...and boy was this worth the wait. The flow, the music.....her voice -- this is pure perfection. I highly recommend buying this, grab a glass of wine, head out on your deck/patio and let the genius that is Esperanza flow out of your speakers. May she continue to be rewarded for her creativity....and may we be rewarded by enjoying and embracing her creativity.

I am convinced she can't make a bad song. I have been following her music since the first recorded tune made its way to the internet. She has mastered the bass and her voice is clear and full. What more can you want?
In her last album "Chamber Music Society", smart jazzy-licks combine with the pomp and baroque of classical sweeping highs. It was a work of genius and she really crossed a line no one had successfully done before. She brought the most structured and rule-bound style of music that we know today and what is often considered the most loose, least-regimented and open style and made a whole album of delights.
So how does she follow? "Radio Music Society".
Modern R&B, jazz, pop, and soul all mixed into a perfect set of tracks. Did she do any insane bendings of genres here? maybe not. But the WAY she combined them was sooooooo just....sensual and sweet. The whole album honestly feels like listening to the radio with all the various tunes that seem so different but still slightly connected. The flow is beyond perfect.
I honestly have had this album playing back-to-back on a few roadtrips and every time it just feels good. Whenever I know I need to change things up, I go to this album and probably have it going in the car for two weeks (as a musician, any album lasting over 2-3 days has got to be phenomenal. I play bass, and I hate repitition when I am LISTENING to music, so it says a lot that this album stayed in the car so long every time!)
What am I telling you? buy this album. As she says in the album," this song's the one to get your spirit groovin!"
it'll get you, you're gonna get hooked

Format:Audio CD
This is the first album I have by this artist.Some people say it is not really jazz but I like it. Might even try to find more jazz musicians because of this! I got the deluxe version and I'm glad I did because it includes the DVD with video clips. The packaging is really nice and the artwork inside has a vintage feel to it. The Deluxe version would make a great gift I think. The music is mellow and very relaxing to listen to. Esperanza has a beautiful melodious voice. I especially like Cinnamon Tree, Black Gold, I Can't Help It, City of Roses(an ode to Portland, Oregon) and Smile Like That. This is good to play when you are just chilling, when you need background music for study or on your commute. Superb music!

I thought this might be the dumbing-down of Esperanza...
I was wrong!
This album is brilliant. She leaves her acoustic jazz sound of the earlier recordings, and ventures into funk and a bit of hip-hop influence. Read more
