Kent

Kent is a reissue label with a sharp focus on soul, R&B and related corners of Black American music. Its catalogue brings together full artist retrospectives, label anthologies and carefully chosen singles, with releases here touching Candi Staton, Irma Thomas, Jon Lucien, Goldwax and Motown.

That range says a lot about Kent’s place in this field. It works across deep-catalogue excavations and scene-defining compilations, from dedicated artist sets to surveys like This is Goldwax 1964-1968 and Hit and Run! More Motown Guys. The result is a label identity built around attentive curation and a real feel for how soul history connects across artists, labels and local scenes.
