Music Genres - Pop Soul

POP SOUL

Pop soul is a term used to describe Rhythm and blues and soul music performed by white artists, particularly that with a strong pop music influence. The term was first influenced in the mid- 1960's to describe white artists who performed soul and R&B that was similar to music of the Mowtown and Stax Record Labels.

A good example of an Artist from this Music Genre is

PALOMA FAITH

'Born in Hackney, London, Paloma Faith is half Spanish and half British. As an ex magician’s assistant, trained contemporary dancer, St Martin’s alumni with an MA in theatre direction, a performer in burlesque shows, and an actress, Paloma has been mixing artistic media throughout her short adult life. A few years ago she introduced music, her primary love, into the equation, at first mimicking the blues and soul singers she so admired, but eventually finding her own voice.'

Just like Taylor Swift, Paloma Faith's Music Lyrics are often Narrative and her songs will be very easy to make a music video for.

This could allow us as a group to be a bit more creative with what we want to do. One of the Paloma Faith's songs myself and my group members would like to do is

'Stone Cold Sober'
