Soul de Vienne dances with depth and purpose in "Globalization"

Soul de Vienne comes to the rescue with a soulful, groove-centered reminder that music can still have a message and make you want to move. Their latest track, "Globalization," is wrapped in funk, jazz, and worldly music that leaves you reeling but the jazzy late-night conversation you couldn't shake out of your head as a college student.

There is a pulse to "Globalization" that feels like living in the streets of a city abuzz with stories or a voice resonating across borders. The instrumentals are affluent, stylish, and deeply ergonomic jagged funk grooves matched to the free-form improvisatory spirit of jazz. You can almost hear the band thinking, feeling, and reacting in the moment. Soul de Vienne's songs yearn for humanity in a growingly standardized, digital, and separated world. They aren't preachy or leaden. Every word is personal yet universal; Soul de Vienne wants to engage in this conversation, and "Globalization" is the opener.

There's something about hearing a band use their music to stand up for something, not in anger but with dignity and purpose. "Globalization" is a special kind of track that grooves as much as it meditates and reminds us that art can still break through static, speak truth, and make you feel and seen even from across an ocean.
