Favorite Soul Albums/EPs of 2023


Alright Yall! It's finally here! Check out Out Da Box Media's list of Favorite Soul Albums/EPs of 2023 curated by yours truly, Cril. I also managed to compile a top 50 Soul Projects List just like I did with the Hip Hop list and this was no easy task but I managed to accomplish, considering all of the previous monthly Best Soul Album/EPs lists I compiled on this site for 2023. Check out my rank order from 1 thru 50 below. ALSO just like the Hip Hop List, my Out Da Box Bros "Mark" and "Kuligett" provided their top 10 and top 5 Favorite RnB/Soul Projects below as well. The majority of the projects on these lists are available on traditional digital streaming platforms, only one project is currently exclusively on Apple Music and a few are exclusively on Bandcamp. I noted these digital locations in parenthesis next to these titles. In addition, check out the Check out our "Best Of Soul 2023" Playlist embedded below . This playlist includes some of the best stand alone singles to come out in 2023 from other artists, as well as Album/EP track selections from my top 50 list. Our Spotify Playlist is entitled "Best Soul Songs (2023)". Enjoy the music!
