Neo-Soul is a return to live instrumentation, a reliance on raw talent, not studio trickery. Toni, Tony, Tone, and Mint Condition, as well as solo artists like Maxwell, Erykah Badu, and D'Angelo have become household names. A fusion of classic 70s influences and current Jazz and Hip-Hop inflections, Neo-Soul's music and lyrics reflect on concepts of love and family, as well as commentary on the social ills of society. --nusoul_blueroom
