For all of us who are Neo Soul fans. This is the thread for it.

From D'Angelo to Kelly Price... :)

Would you classify Neo Soul as a brand new genre? Or is this just another fusion of Jazz and R&B and a little bit of Rock?

    yeah... neo soul is a new sub genre of soul which would fall under black music which has blues, r&b, soul and the like...

    "neo soul" sounds like a cool sub-genre, but i don't think any artist would want to be labeled...look what happened to grunge.

    i read an earlier reply that neo soul could be a fusion of jazz, R&B and rock---nothing "neo" with that. the artist's skin color or racial leanings should not interfere with musical expression, so as long as he/she plays the music with conviction.

    we always say it dont matter..the color of ones skin but it does..when whites come out wit their borrowed influences and outshines the black ones.. and tis just a shame..it only then becomes just a norm..black ones give the roots while the white ones comes for the sun and outshines hu gave it life..

    Neo soul intrigues me... I've never really been a huge fan of r&b, and neo soul is actually at the risk of being branded as just another r&b rehash. City Lite 88.3 was the first to dish out neo soul here in pinas... they had a weekly show called Smooth Soul Revue which was all neo soul. Sayang wala na. Anyway, the genre is promising and I hope it gets a bigger following here (but not to the point that it crosses over to mainstream).

    I have a track of Goapele's and it's called Closer... mood music :p Has anyone here heard of Maktub? I think their music can also be classified as neo soul... please correct me if I'm wrong.
