"Sensitivity" aside, do we have any great vocal tracks from 2011 as good as "Frontline" or "Do You Mind?" I love the girly r&b stuff far more than the MC-led stuff and I feel totally out of the loop, keeping up with radio shows and their hard-to-follow never-filled tracklistings is difficult, and much as I love this music I never get to hear it out locally.

Yes:
Fuzzy Logik & Myshy's "Playground"Natalie May's "Clothes Off"Scottie B's "Feel Nice, Feel Right"Hannah Liston, "The Middle (Dumplin Remix)" (this is unreleased though)
Granted, that's much less than the number of top-shelf vocal tracks from 2008-2010.
But - unlike for 2010 - I wouldn't argue with the proposition that funky fell off its A-game this year.

cosign tim's choices except the unreleased one that i haven't heard, but swindle & roses gabor "spend is dough" was probably my favourite uk funky track of 2011

Lex it's the one you said that you really really needed a copy of immediately.
I tend not to remember that "Spend Is Dough" is funky and that's not a dis cos I think it's fantastic. In my head it's kind of a classic melting pot tune - although there's no reason for it not to be considered funky either.

Miss Fire & DJ Naughty - Closerhttp://soundcloud.com/missfireuk/closer
Is a well nice vocal track from this year, it was free too. I think Miss Fire had another too, but it's slipped my mind.
