Soul music has been in a constant state of evolution, from its 1950s beginnings to its culture-shifting impact throughout the ‘60s, ‘70s and beyond. Musicians from Black communities in cities including Detroit, Philadelphia, Memphis, New Orleans and Chicago quickly took each region’s specific brand of soul global, paving the way for artists today to continue pushing the multifaceted sound to new generations and continents alike. To celebrate this new era of soul, we’ve put together a fresh collection of tracks by contemporary artists carrying the genre forward, from international acts like Indonesia’s Thee Marloes and Norway’s Les Imprimés, to R&B vocalists like Baby Rose and retro-inspired bands like Thee Sacred Souls.
