New R&B/Soul Music: July 2012

The list of new R&B/Soul album releases for July 2012 is small, but most of the names on it are pretty familiar. The biggest is Chris Brown, who drops the sequel to his F.A.M.E. album, Fortune, on July 3. Also on the list are Joss Stone and Leela James, both of whom are coming out with albums of remakes this month. Joss's The Soul Sessions, Vol. 2 is a sort of sequel to her debut album; and Leela's Loving You More ... in the Spirit of Etta James, is a tribute to an all-time legend who died earlier this year. But the release with the most buzz behind it just might be Channel Orange, the official debut album by crooner Frank Ocean. For full details of July 2012's new R&B/Soul music, click the link below.
