Debut of Undertones, a podcast that explores what’s going on beneath the surface of a variety of musical topics. In this episode, we trace the origin of the term “neo-soul” from its beginnings in the 1990s to its present-day iterations, as well as the paradoxical position of neo-soul as “new soul music”.
