  1. 1Innervisions (1973)Innervisions (1973)Released 1 Jan 1973Stevie Wonder gives each song a distinct job, from the inward calm of Visions to the street drama of Living for the City.

  2. 2Still Bill (1972)Still Bill (1972)Released 1 Jan 1972Bill Withers can make a groove sound immediately companionable without sanding down the feeling inside it.

  3. 3Love Deluxe (1992)Love Deluxe (1992)Released 1 Jan 1992Sade keep a precise balance between spacious grooves and close emotional observation.

  4. 4What's Your Pleasure? (2020)What's Your Pleasure? (2020)Released 1 Jan 2020Spotlight invites you onto Jessie Ware's dance floor, but the album keeps changing the kind of space around her voice.

  8. 8Flowers (2025)Flowers (2025)Released 1 Jan 2025Warm grooves and contrasting lead voices give Durand Jones & The Indications a coherent sound without making every song do the same thing. Paradise is an open doorway; Rust and Steel brings grief into that warmth rather than interrupting it. Even the brief opening title piece feels like an…0
  9. 9Telefone (2016)Telefone (2016)Released 1 Jan 2016Noname's conversational rapping and warm, jazz-inflected production make the songs feel like different faces of one person.
