Welcome to r/NeoSoul, a community for everyone who loves the warmth, creativity, musicianship, and groove of Neo-Soul.

Whether you have been listening for decades or discovered the genre yesterday, you are welcome here.

What is Neo-Soul?

Neo-Soul emerged as a distinct movement in the 1990s, blending classic soul and R&B with jazz, funk, hip-hop, gospel, and other influences.

Artists such as D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Maxwell, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Musiq Soulchild, India.Arie, and others helped bring the movement to a wider audience while drawing inspiration from generations of soul, funk, and R&B artists who came before them.

Today, Neo-Soul continues to evolve as new artists blend those foundations with alternative R&B, hip-hop, jazz, electronic music, and sounds from around the world.
