Sunday Soul Groove

There is a kind of Sunday that does not want to be rushed. Coffee, slow light, nowhere urgent to be. This is jazzy soul music for a Sunday morning, the warm and unhurried end of the groove spectrum, made for exactly that kind of day. It sits in the lane where jazz, soul, and funk overlap, heavy on feel and head-nodding rhythm, the sort of thing that makes a slow morning feel like a small occasion. The mood is daytime and social rather than late and solitary, music you can put on with people in the room or on your own with the windows open. You will hear the soulful keys of Alfa Mist, the soulful warmth of Jordan Rakei, the drumming of Yussef Dayes, and the keys-led grooves of Alfa Mist, drawing especially on the UK jazz and nu-soul scene that has been quietly making some of the best music in this space. There is a deep well to pull from here, and the playlist keeps growing as the catalogue does, so follow it if this is the soundtrack your weekends want. Make something to drink, find a comfortable spot, and let it carry the morning.
