People Music is a studio album by American jazz bassist Christian McBride together with his band Inside Straight.

His originals include the composition “New Hope’s Angel” written when Whitney Houston died.

[8] Jeff Tamarkin of Jazz Times noted "Following a one-off big-band outing, this is his second with Inside Straight, the acoustic quintet he formed in 2009.

Like that year’s Kind of Brown, People Music feels like a mental reboot, an opportunity for McBride to call the shots on his own terms with some handpicked compadres".

[9] Corey Brown of Notreble said "The new album finds the quintet in hard-swing mode, delivering what they call “more road-tested, ‘lived-in’ Inside Straight” in an accessible way, and one that makes the audience part of the experience.
