Identify my track- stacked vocal harmonies and ad-libs
- programmed but soft drums
- extended jazzy chords
- intimate close-mic vocal
Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 70–110 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in R&B / Soul, by tempo. If Contemporary R&B does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Neo-Soul70–100 BPM
Live, warm and jazz-informed. Real drums with a loose behind-the-beat feel, Rhodes electric piano, rich chord voicings and an organic mix.
- Soul / Funk95–125 BPM
Vintage groove music. Tight horn sections, syncopated bass, gospel-powered vocals and a band locked into a pocket.
