New-soul is a subgenre of R&B music, very close to neo-soul. New-soul features more traditional jazz elements such as scatting and improvised solos. The music takes the improvisational aspect of jazz, the yearning of R&B, the feel of neo-soul, and the groove of funk to create an entirely new genre.
This style was first discovered in 2021 by singer and songwriter, AIA.
"You heard that new-soul album AIA just put out?"
"Yeah, that joint was fire!"
