Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Daptone
Release Date: 2nd May

A foundational record for the sound of soul in the 21st century, the first album tracked at the "House of Soul" and one that would go on to spearhead a new generation of modern soul, rnb, funk and jazz singers and players. Sharon Jones's music with the Dap-Kings leaves an indelible mark and 20 years late 'Naturally' still stands tall as one of the great vocal R&B soul albums of all time. 

2005’s Naturally was a pivotal moment in the history of soul music. It was the first Daptone album tracked at the renowned “House of Soul”, a recording studio handbuilt by Sharon and the rest of the Daptone family in a two story rental in Bushwick, Brooklyn. The album has gone on to sell over 200,000 records, with hit singles “How Long Do I Have To Wait?” and “This Land is Your Land” streaming in the hundreds of millions- staggering figures for a wholly independent release.
Up to this point Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings had yet to reach an audience outside of dingy, hole-in-the-wall clubs, dive bars, and underground DJ parties, attended by only the most in-the-know. This was the scene where the band began to flourish, developing the sound that would forever alter the musical landscape and set a lofty new bar for what could be considered real-deal soul music. It made Daptone a household name and opened doors for countless musicians and record labels to come. Naturally sparked a renaissance that is still vibrating today- a testament to Sharon Jones’ legacy as the undisputed, reigning Queen of Heavyweight Soul.
