Daptone Records has announced an album of unreleased songs by the late Sharon Jones will come out on Nov. 11 — one year after her death.
Jones found her solo stardom later in life. Well before recording with her band The Dap-Kings, she served as a correctional officer on Rikers Island, the city’s largest jail complex. She then landed her breakout role as a backup singer to Amy Winehouse. She finally found success as a solo artist in the 2000s on the newly formed Daptone, a Brooklyn-based label dedicated to reviving classic soul and funk.
The album, Soul of a Woman, was recorded with the Dap-Kings in the months before Jones passed. In anticipation of the album, the label shared a new song, “Matter of Time,” via its video. Watch above.

“Though we’ll never again see her electric form shimmy across the stage, Sharon Jones continues to give us her soul and her music. She died nearly a year ago, but only now can we hear her final creation. Soul of a Woman captures a singer and a band at the peak of their power,” a press release stated. “Cutting one last time to eight-track tape at Daptone’s House of Soul studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn, the band endeavored to create a record that stretches the limits of their soulful sound in all directions, giving us both their rawest and most sophisticated recordings to date-a final statement by one of the most influential rhythm and blues voices of the 21st century.”
Jones, who battled pancreatic cancer since 2013, died at age 60. In her final days, she suffered a stroke when watching the results of the 2016 presidential election, and joked that Donald Trump’s victory was to blame.
