Genre:

Smooth soul

Smooth soul is a fusion genre that developed in the early 1970s in the United States, blending elements of soul, funk, and pop music. It achieved mainstream success until the late 1970s, when it was succeeded by disco and quiet storm. Originating from the Motown Sound, smooth soul features slow tempo ballads with silky, sensual vocals and light, polished arrangements, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. It includes lush string sections and piano, with light funk influences in percussion and basslines. Common lyrical themes revolve around love, sex, and seduction.
