{"product_id":"extra-added-soul-crossover-modern-and-funky-soul","title":"Extra Added Soul: Crossover, Modern and Funky Soul","description":"J\u0026amp;D's 20-track compilation Extra Added Soul: Crossover explores obscure avenues of '70s soul, concentrating on offshoots of proto-disco, smooth soul, soft funk, and boogie -- highly danceable grooves that have been tagged as an offshoot of Northern Soul called \"modern soul\" by 21st century R\u0026amp;B mavens. Whether the four-on-the-floor rises to the surface or not, disco is the underpinning of the music here, present in such Philly-styled cuts as Eula Cooper's \"Standing by Love\" and Mind \u0026amp; Matter's \"I'm Under Your Spell,\" or the stylish breezes of Elvin Spencer's \"Lift This Hurt\" and the Latin-tinged \"No Matter\" by La'Fez. If the tracks don't feel as spangly as prime disco, that's also their charm: they were cut on the cheap, so what we're hearing are musicians creating a groove together. That snazzy groove flows throughout these 20 songs, and it's what makes Extra Added Soul: Crossover worth hearing. The songs may not always stick -- and, certainly there are no stars here (Syl Johnson is the closest, unless you count Prince's early band 94 East) -- but the rhythm is infectious and the satin slickness is endearing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48154158694565,"sku":"825764003018","price":31.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/cf4e8f18181936df686854b7a25b0969.jpg?v=1786799120","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-fr\/products\/extra-added-soul-crossover-modern-and-funky-soul","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
