By combining hip-hop, house and disco-driven R&B, Soul II Soul carved a lane all their own. The London-based group, who dominated dance floors in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, specialised in songs that spoke to the essence of life’s shared experiences. These commonalities are most felt in “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)” and “Keep On Movin’”, both of which featured the sleek vocals of singer Caron Wheeler. As these tracks demonstrate, Soul II Soul’s sweeping arrangements always drove their productions forward. The group wrapped themselves in infinite grooves, fusing pulsating beats and memorable mantras into spiritual club communions.
