Before the Hype Comes the Music and the Music Is Soul
5 Conversations About Soul is a bootleg video graffiti glimpse into the lives and thoughts of critically acclaimed, established and emerging soul artists at their most direct and honest, talking about their relationship to the ideas, history and business behind the music. It is a backstage digital sketchbook of fierce opinion and considered reflection; a grassroots response to the homogenization and appropriation of music culture by big business; a digital diary that capture the heart of a movent that spans over 30 years.
More than a survey of "neo-soul," 5 Conversations documents the feelings and thoughts that drive and support two generations of black visionaries.
The Innovative Music Film Series is committed to the idea that all good music is underground music. It starts far away from the television and the magazines. It starts raw. It is a deeply personal and intimate process.
To get a sense of what this process is about, you've got to experience it. In the backrooms, in the clubs, in context, in the unprepared and the unrehearsed, honest moments.
It's about keeping it natural, real and being you. It's before the hype. It's the music and the music is Soul.Featuring:
