British Soul

British Soul emerged in the 1960s, borrowing heavily from American soul but with a cheeky twist that often had listeners asking if the singer was simultaneously doing the washing-up. The sound is characterised by lush vocals and a smooth blend of R&B, often infused with elements of jazz and pop, leaving you wondering if you should dance or just sit back and sip your Earl Grey. It has a delightful way of tugging at the heartstrings whilst still managing to be a bit of a laugh, proving that a good song can have you misty-eyed and grinning at the same time.
