Neo-soul / Soul/R&B

PAN M 360 at FIJM 2024 | Thee Sacred Souls conquer new souls

by Guillaume Laberge

Love was in the air on the balmy evening of Tuesday, July 2, as California’s Thee Sacred Souls headlined the FIJMl TD stage. Thousands of Montrealers of all ages flocked to the downtown area to admire the musical brilliance of this up-and-coming band.

Thee Sacred Souls is a name that’s becoming increasingly prominent on the neo-soul / R&B scene. Since the release of their first song in March 2020, the band now has several hits under its belt. The formula is simple: take inspiration from the sound of the R&B/soul greats of the day, such as Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The O’Jays etc., and add a modern twist while respecting the authenticity of the music of yesteryear. This ingenious formula offers a type of R&B/soul that’s very nostalgic and romantic, but also very refreshing.

The band kicked off the show with some of their most popular songs, including “Love Is The Way”, “Will I See You Again” and “Easier Said Than Done”. The inspired performances of lead singer Josh Lane, accompanied by his equally talented backing singers and musicians, captivated the crowd from the very first note.

Throughout the show, the atmosphere was warm and the audience very receptive to what Thee Sacred Souls had to offer musically. It was also very pleasing to see that most people knew the songs, which is quite rare at a free concert. This added greatly to the experience.

Thee Sacred Souls are also gearing up for the release of their second album Got a Story to Tell on October 4. In the meantime, the band have been playing some of the songs that will feature on the album, such as their most recent single “Lucid Girl”, as well as other previously unreleased songs, all of which are very good.

After a round of covers and other tunes from their discography, the band closed the show with the famous “Can I Call You Rose?” which delighted the audience and brought the performance to a fitting close.

Thee Sacred Souls put on a top-quality, love-filled show, and certainly won over many new fans… new souls.Thee Sacred Souls put on a top-quality, love-filled show, and certainly won over many new fans… new souls.
