Pop Soul

Pop-soul, which emerged in the 1960s, is essentially what happens when rhythm and blues deigns to wear a sparkly jacket and join the party alongside mainstream pop, all whilst enjoying a cheeky cocktail. It boasts lush melodies, catchy hooks, and vocals that usually sound as if they've just endured a heart-wrenching breakup while simultaneously eyeing the dancefloor. This genre has splashed its way into the charts over the decades, proving that sometimes combining two excellent ideas yields something truly exceptional, like a cheese toastie on a rainy day.
