Originally released in 2010 on Stones Throw, *Good Things* was Aloe Blacc's breakout moment—an album that fused Curtis Mayfield-style social commentary with Marvin Gaye’s smooth delivery and soul revival production from Truth & Soul’s Leon Michels and Jeff Dynamite. Tracks like the anthem “I Need A Dollar” and the heartstring-tugging “Mama Hold My Hand” caught fire across audiences, from hip-hop heads to radio play and sync deals, catapulting Blacc into global recognition.

This deluxe edition pairs the full original LP with a separate 1LP of instrumentals, letting the dusty drums, rich horn sections and vintage arrangements shine on their own. From the gritty optimism of “Green Lights” to the introspective soul of “Hey Brother,” this package celebrates both voice and groove—timeless soul with modern urgency.
