Eccentric Sweet Soul

Description

So, what is Sweet Soul? Perhaps a happy medium between lowrider soul and symphonic soul? A lush, vibrant production, as if wrapped in sonic silk, sure to captivate the listener? Whatever the case, one thing is certain: its purpose is crystal clear. Pleasure, sweet and slow, bajito y suavecito. Every kiss begins with soul, or Sweet Soul for lowriders. Sweet Soul is the ancestor of what we now call modern soul. It emerged in the late 60s and 70s, alongside the rawer, funkier soul that dominated the airwaves. While the latter prioritized powerful rhythms and raw emotions, Sweet Soul smoothed out the rough edges. It emphasized melody, warmth, and refinement, giving it a calm and lush atmosphere that made it easy to re-listen to and love, even decades later.
