THE ISLEY BROTHERS ARE BACK WITH FIRST NEW FULL-LENGTH IN 16 YEARS MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN, GIRL THE ALBUM
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inductees, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees, and GRAMMY® Award-winning music legends The Isley Brothers proudly present their anxiously awaited new album, Make Me Say It Again, Girl. It marks the duo’s first full-length LP since 2006 and thirty-first original album overall.
They originally set the stage for the record with a recreation of The Isley Brothers classic 1975 love ballad, “Make Me Say It Again, Girl,” joined by none other than Beyoncé. It recently catapulted to #1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay Chart, standing out as their first #1 since “Contagious.” It incited a flurry of critical applause from the likes of The FADER and Vulture who proclaimed, “For this one, Bey is out of Club Renaissance, trading lines with Isley over a smooth, polished track.”
Make Me Say It Again, Girl THE ALBUM places the pair’s classic sound in the spotlight for a whole new era. Whether it be the cinematic scope of “Long Voyage Home” or R&B escapism of “Disappear,” they lean into the hallmarks of their signature style with undeniable energy. They’ve also brought a few friends—both old and new—along for the ride. El Debarge and Earth, Wind & Fire team up with The Isley Brothers for the generational banger “There’ll Never Be,” while Rick Ross flexes with pure lyrical fire during “Biggest Bosses.” Elsewhere, Quavo and Takeoff ignite the irresistible and infectious “Keys To My Mind.”
After more than 60 years of creating massive hits, The Isley Brothers continue to produce timeless and impactful music showing why they are international treasures who are firmly woven into the fabric of our culture.

You’re The One is singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, Rhiannon Giddens’ 5th album and first full band release in over 6 years. The album, which is her first album of all original songs (all written or co-written by Giddens), was produced by Jack Splash (St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Valerie June, Solange) and features guest appearances from Jason Isbell, Leyla McCalla, and Eryn Allen Kane.
Over the course of her career, Rhiannon Giddens has established herself as one of the most important artists in the world.

Store Spotlight: Legacy Records, Dumbo, Brooklyn
Owning a record store wasn't a goal of Victorious De Costa, Barkim Salgado or Haile Ali, the three co-owners of Legacy, which opened in Brookyln's Dumbo neighborhood in August of 2021.
However, each had amassed a massive collection of vinyl through their respective DJing, rapping and producing careers.
As Victorious says in a video on the Legacy website, "I'd had my own records since junior high school, maybe elementary school, and I felt like I would one day leave my records to my children, but I don't have any children. The world is my child. So, Legacy for me is finding the joy of sharing my collection with the world."
With all three owners hailing from Caribbean descent, Legacy enjoys shining a spotlight on reggae, soca and merengue music, but the shop also boasts a wide array of jazz, hip-hop, R&B, rock releases and more, all inside a shop designed to resemble a 70s-era apartment.
Proudly Black, Latinx and BIPOC owed, Legacy is designed to feel like home. Check out some of the photos on their website. Legacy is also a member of the FAMS coalition.
