Review

Most Philly Soul heads would consider the 1970s as the genre's peak period. By the 1980s, dancefloor tastes had changed, with the driving rhythms and sumptuous strings of disco replaced by a heavier reliance on synthesizers and electro-boogie flavours. Yet many of Philly Soul's greatest artists continued to favour classic sounds and production techniques, cranking out a mix of simmering slow jams, comforting dancefloor grooves and dewy-eyed arrangements. This sumptuous collection from Harmless revisits that period, offering up a bumper selection of little-known ballads. Of particular interest is Instant Funk's "So Glad I'm The One", a classic Philly Soul production that doesn't neatly fit with their usual electrofunk-heavy discography.
