Progressive soul

Okay kiddo, have you ever listened to a song that makes you feel all the emotions possible? That's what music does, it helps us feel happy, sad, excited or calm.

Now imagine you hear a song that starts with a simple sound, maybe just a voice and a guitar. But as the song goes on, you start hearing more instruments, more complex melodies and lyrics that make you think. That's kind of like progressive music, it's a type of music that starts simple and gradually gets more complex.

Progressive soul is like that, but it's a specific type of music that tells stories about life and love. It combines elements of soul music, which is all about expressing emotion, with the complex and ever-changing sounds of progressive rock.

In progressive soul, you'll hear smooth and powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics, and instrumentation that blends traditional and modern elements. The music might start with a simple beat or melody, but gradually add more instruments and layers of sound to create a unique listening experience.

It's like going on an adventure in your imagination through the different sounds and emotions the music offers. Each song feels like a journey, taking you to new places and stirring up all kinds of emotions.

So if you ever want to feel all the feels, just listen to some progressive soul music and your heart will be full!
