SAULT, a mysterious Soul music collective is taking music by storm. In this video, we deep dive on a key secret of their success – Funk Music.
We deep dive on the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, how he diverted from the norms of music to create one of the most addictive formulas in music. As part of our BLUES SKL YouTube series, we look at how contemporary artists like SAULT continue to return to this formula, creating music that is widely popular today.
We explore why funk music is so addictive, why it’s been a mainstay in the music industry for more than 50 years, influencing the sounds of several contemporary artists like SAULT, Silk Sonic, Steve Lacy, Little Simz and Outkast. And we discuss its unique sounds, grooves and rhythms, as well as its influence not only on music, but popular culture as a whole.
