Modern Soul

Description

Modern Soul is a subgenre of soul music that incorporates elements of contemporary R&B, funk, and jazz, characterized by smooth vocals, lush arrangements, and a polished production style.

History

Modern Soul emerged in the late 1970s as a response to the changing musical landscape, where traditional soul music began to incorporate more sophisticated production techniques and influences from other genres. It gained popularity in the UK Northern Soul scene and has since evolved, influencing contemporary R&B and neo-soul artists.
