We've been patiently awaiting the release of Nneka's upcoming album, Soul Is Heavy, ever since learning about it last year. It's been even longer (a couple of years to be exact), since many have seen her perform in the United...

It has been over two years since *Nnek*a has toured in the United States. Well, with the upcoming release of her third album, Soul Is Heavy brings good news as Nneka is ready to return to the states. Also, Nneka has recently released the Coki (Digital Mystikz) remix of “My ...

Nigerian-German R&B/soul artist Nneka is releasing her third album, Soul Is Heavy, 2/28 on Yo Mama's Recordings. She has released an MP3 of a remix of "My Home" off of her previous album, Fader. It's a catchy afro-pop tune that would fit in at any respectable dance club. Let's hope the new album has a couple funky dance tracks like this.

For much of 2011, arguing about what is and isn't R&B appeared to be more fun than actually listening to R&B (however you personally defined it). But it turns out that was all just an illusion. Here are 20 terrific records that could start arguments, and end them. SPIN's Best of 2011: • One Fucked Up Year: SPIN's Best of 2011 Issue • SPIN's 50 Best Albums of 2011 • SPIN's 20 Best Songs of 2011 • SPIN's 40 Best Rap Albums of 2011 • SPIN's 10 Best Reissues of 2011 • SPIN's 25 Best Live Photos of 2011 • Endless Bummer: 30 Ways 2011 Was a Drag 20. Ledisi Pieces of Me Like that cute, self-assured little girl from the movie Airplane , she takes her coffee hot and dark, like her men. As with other formally refined, smooth-R&B belters, her dignity doesn't undercut her intensity; "I Miss You Now" boasts Shakespearean fervor and delicacy. 19. The Stepkids The Stepkids Bewildering art-funk fantasias from three falsetto-prone gentlemen channeling Sly Stone channeling the macabre cosmos. "La La" is beautiful and deeply unsettling. They're the Can of Stones Throw, if that makes any sense, which of course it doesn't. 18. (Tie) Balam Acab; Holy Other; How to Dress Well Wander/Wonder; With U; Just Once The bedroom deconstructionist wing, stretching the definitions of the "R" and the "B" (maybe even the "&") in crucial ways on their respective EPs. The amniotic Wander/Wonder is like listening to a Maxwell record drown, With U is like watching it evaporate slowly into the chopped-and-screwed electro-pop ether, Just Once is like presiding over an angelic-choir-abetted funeral at Cathedral de Notre Dame. You either roll your eyes at this stuff or they're rolling straight back in your head. 17. Ryan Hemsworth No Plans Electro-soul from Halifax (seriously), vintage but mostly in the 8-bit Castlevania sense. Other interests include amusing song titles ("It Takes a Couple of People to Hold Us Back"), entropy, fearing his mother's death, and a half-dozen other genres. 16. Romeo Santos Fórmula Vol. 1 He is accurately named, this absurdly sweet-voiced bachata titan gone solo and crossover-mad, soft but playing at hardness. Sound familiar? Primo honeymoon music if you can roll your Rs; guests Usher and ...

Nneka ‘s not the kind of artist that worries about staying hot, or her “buzz,” or releases freestyles over the hot beat of the moment in hopes of seeing her name on the blogs on more time. No, the Nigerian singer/rapper/human etc. only releases new music when she’s convinced its near perfect, so it’s not surprising that it’s been well over a year since her last album, Concrete Jungle , and three months since her last DJBooth feature, the Black Thought assisted God Only Knows . Thankfully, as Nneka’s new single My Home proves, good things ...

*Soul is Heavy* is the new album from the award winning Nigerian songwriter, *Nneka*. An effortlessly balanced combination of hip hop beats, reggae grooves, brass riffs and African-pop are the canvas for the motif of love, pain, politics and God. Respective albums have earned *Nneka* the moniker...
