Pop soul

Pop soul is a genre that fuses elements of soul music with pop music, aiming to create a commercially polished sound appealing to mainstream audiences. It retains the emotional depth and expressiveness of soul music while incorporating catchy melodies and structures from pop music. Characterized by gospel-inspired chord progressions and rhythms, pop soul features accessible melodies and lyrics, often with a lighter and more upbeat tempo compared to traditional soul. The genre emerged in the 1960s and was exemplified by Motown artists. It later influenced disco in the 1970s and sophisti-pop in the 1980s.
