The keen reader might remember reading about American outfit Soulganic not long ago. Writing about their funk-flavoured effort ‘Family Ties’, we proudly described it as “a loopy and intense composition with an eclectic structure.” Now, the talented group returns with a new record, ‘Bear That Weight’, showcasing a different side of the Charlotte-based project.
Leaving behind groovy riffs and sharp guitar tones, Soulganic jumps into elegant, luscious soul territories. Featuring cathartic and mellow vocals, the track evolves into an R&B anthem, revealing its ballad-powered, romantic character. Such a magical contour completely wraps the listeners into spiritual, meaningful lyricism, while pursuing a vintage identity, namely blinking an eye to Stax and southern soul.
Moreover, ‘Bear That Weight’ clearly displays Soulganic’s ability to purely serve the song, setting aside their instrumental prowess. You won’t find long solos on this track. Instead, the three amigos try to cater to the vocals and the melody the best they can. It works! Speaking about it, they explain: “Our aim with ‘Bear That Weight’ was to make people feel connected and supported, and to do so, we wanted to tap into the raw, spiritual energy of the soul records that shaped us and the hopefulness and positivity many of them conveyed.”
