Soul No. 5 - Caroline Rose
from the album LOSER (2018) The Preacher urges us to "save" it, by living life on the straight and narrow, because nothing - in God's eyes - is more important. Yet James Brown has one, and he's Super Bad. Then there are The Beatles; their's was made of rubber, which - as far as I can tell - is neither good nor bad. Yup, I am talking about soul. Quite frankly, I have zero clue what a soul is, or even looks like, and I really don't care. That said, I am totally digging Soul No. 5 , a new tune by Caroline Rose - a songwriter from NYC. This song doesn't take "soul" very serious at all. Instead, it is surrounded by an uptempo beat, fun guitar riffs, and a fabulous Farfisa organ. Best I can tell, the song is about being so good looking that men gawk at you. The lyrics and the collage of visual images make me smile. So does the way she occasionally drops her vocal register down and then ascends, which reminds my of Will Smith's theme
