Good Things by Aloe Blacc

Good Things, Aloe Blacc's second studio album, came out on Stones Throw on September 28, 2010, and it finds the singer, rapper and producer, also one half of the hip-hop duo Emanon, going all in on old-school soul: warm, vintage-minded grooves and a voice that sounds like it was made for them.

"I Need a Dollar", produced by Truth & Soul and sent out as the first single that March, is the centerpiece, a plea with a title that says it all. It went to No. 2 in the UK and Ireland and to the top in Flanders, and an edited cut became the theme song for HBO's How to Make It in America. "Loving You Is Killing Me" followed as the next single in 2011, and "Green Lights" was also issued as a single in the UK.
