In the Heart

Kool & the Gang

Polished 1983 R&B defined by shimmering synthesizers and smooth-sailing melodies. A transition from gritty street funk into sophisticated, romantic pop-soul.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the soaring, multi-tracked chorus of Joanna where the sentimentality peaks
The rhythmic interplay between the palm-muted guitar and the bubbling synth bass on Rollin'
The way the saxophone solo on September Love cuts through the hazy synth pads with a sharp nostalgic ache
