Here's a comprehensive list of forthcoming quality r&b, soul, jazz and gospel releases (alphabetically by artist), including those released going back to January 2009 (see bottom of this page) and are based on The Soul of Amsterdam's best available information. We have omited upcoming urban/r&b titles from major labels, re-issues and compilations unless a title include previously unreleased and/or bonus tracks/remixes.

This list is updated often, and is only as precise as the information that we are provided. We realize that some information may be incomplete. Due to the nature of the business, some information may change. And that's where you come in, since we rely on artists, record labels and visitors to keep us current.

Are we missing anything? Is there an album in your area that we don't know about? Help us keep it fresh. So please email us any information that you think should be added or changed for our next update.

A lot of the upcoming titles listed on this page can be heared (sometimes exclusively) in The Soul of Amsterdam show with Andreas Hellingh on Starpoint Radio. Staying up-to-date is easy - bookmark this page and visit regularly.
