There are plenty of other examples of "modern soul" - what I've posted are examples from the 90s - but I'd say the above are essential listening.

Other artists to check out include:

Raphael Saadiq
Omar
Rahsaan Patterson
Musiq Soulchild
Mint Condition
Angie Stone
Donnie

I'm assuming that by "modern soul" the OP is referring to what is also known as "neo soul" which, as a movement, began in the 1990s...
