Fusing classic soul with funk, jazz, fusion, hip-hop, pop and electronic, soul of today is a patchwork of styles where no rules apply other than those that have been given since day one: great melodic and rhythmic foundations. However, seeing as the word “modern” implies a fleeing snapshot of the exact moment of now, this collection of EZkeys MIDI rather sets out to capture the evolution of post-classic soul from the late 1990s through to today. Expect the lush and velvety ballads reminiscent of the early pre-millennium neo-soul era all the way through the funky, beat-driven and electronic amalgams that followed.

If you’re looking to make songs that fearlessly arch over the last few decades of soul evolution, this collection of EZkeys MIDI is for you.
