Behind the Groove with Syleena Johnson
In this day, it's not uncommon to find singers who can't sing topping the charts. But to the discerning music lover, real singers with real voices and real talent still matter. One such artist who falls into that category...
Behind the Groove with Peter Hadar
Something that we love to do here at SoulBounce is to expose people to artists they need to know and music they need to hear. One such artist who we gave the Bounce-Worthy distinction to last year was Newark,...
Behind the Groove with Maiysha

Behind the Groove with Mary Mary
Erica and Tina Campbell, collectively known as Mary Mary, are not your grandmother's gospel singers. Yes, the lively duo is grounded in the Word and Christ-centered, but you are just as likely to hear their songs played on secular radio...
Behind the Groove with Nikka Costa
It's funny how an artist can take a few years off and return to the scene without skipping a beat. Such is the case with Nikka Costa. Her genre-blending sound caught the ears of soul and rock fans alike...
Behind the Groove with Jean Baylor
Mention the name Zhané to most and a smile will cross their faces as they fondly remember the soul singing duo from the '90s. With their laid back grooves and unique look, Jean Baylor and Renee Neufville were trendsetters...
Behind the Groove with Raphael Saadiq

Behind The Groove With Peven Everett
Any fan of soulful house music has probably tapped their feet, snapped their fingers or broken out into a fully choreographed dance routine when Peven Everett's music comes on. There is no way that you cannot jack your body when...
Behind the Groove with Robin Thicke
Growing up as the child of two entertainers, you would think that Robin Thicke had an easy road to success. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, and he spent years waiting for his time to shine. That time finally came...
Behind the Groove with Ayah
There are some artists that take a while to grow on you and then there are those who get you open after just one listen. In the case of Toronto's Ayah, let's just say that she had many of us...
Behind the Groove with Noel Gourdin
Noel Gourdin may be a new jack on the scene, but he is an old soul when it comes to music. The Brockton, Massachusetts born-and-bred singer has deep roots in the South, and he pays homage to this on his...
Behind the Groove with Calvin Richardson
Remember a time when you could turn on the radio and actually hear real singing at any time of day on most stations? Sadly, those days are gone thanks to corporate greed and general public apathy. But thankfully there...
Behind the Groove with Hil St. Soul
The name Hilary Mwelwa may not be familiar to most soul music fans. Unless, that is, they're aware that she is the "Hil" in the duo Hil St. Soul--and arguably the "Soul" as well. Hilary serves as the face and...
Behind the Groove with Lalah Hathaway
The name Lalah Hathaway is synonymous with good music. Bursting onto the music scene in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, 18 years later she is still here and stronger than ever. Whether she's singing soul or jazz, originals...
Behind the Groove with Anthony David
Anthony David may not be a household name yet, but that's all about to change if India.Arie has anything to say about it. When we got word that India would be getting her own label imprint and releasing Anthony...

SoulBounce Chats With Keite Young
Keite Young is an artist who doesn't fit easily into a box. He's a little bit funk, a little bit blues, a little bit gospel and a whole lot of soul. His music reflects a myriad of diverse influences,...
SoulBounce Chats With Idris Elba
Idris Elba defies classification. He is a Brit, yet he slings slang as good as a brotha born and raised in any hood U.S.A. Although a bonafide heartthrob, he is surprisingly cool like that. And how many actors do you...
SoulBounce Chats With Dr. Donda West
Dr. Donda West is many things. She's an accomplished professor, a world traveler, and, most recently, a published author. However, all those things are secondary to what brings her the most joy in life: being Kanye West's mother. I...
