when you hear the sound of soul music you’ll know it’s soul because it gets you off your feet and onto the dance floor, your body yearns for movement and you don’t really know how it knows to do so, but you go along with it. you surprise yourself with your funky moves and before you know it, everyone else too is flailing about without a care. and then there’s the slow jams… and by slow they mean real slow. a yearning to take it down three notches kind of slow. a smooth and soulful slow. a “darl’, let me tell you how much you mean to me” slow.
