Soul II Soul

In the late '80s, as the world swayed to the rhythm of synthesizers and neon lights, Soul II Soul emerged like a funky breath of fresh air. Hailing from London, this musical collective led by Jazzie B wasn't just a band; they were architects of a cool, sophisticated sound that blended soul, R&B, and a sprinkle of futuristic vibes. With Jazzie's iconic Funki Dred look and a sound that made hearts skip a beat, Soul II Soul became the high priests of what could only be described as "funky zen."

Their breakout hit "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)" catapulted them into the international limelight, and suddenly, everyone was trying to recreate the smooth swagger that oozed from their beats. The Soul II Soul experience was like slipping into a silk suit, sipping on a fine wine, and grooving to a beat that made even the most rhythmically challenged souls feel like dance-floor deities. So, if you ever find yourself caught in a time warp between the '80s and '90s, just remember, it's probably a Soul II Soul track playing somewhere, reminding you that life is best lived with a touch of soul and a lot of groove.
