''Neo soul'' is a blend of 1970s soul-style vocals and instrumentation with [[contemporary R&B]] sounds, [[hip hop music|hip-hop]] beats, and poetic interludes. The style was developed in the early to mid-1990s, and the term was coined in the early 1990s by producer and [[record label]] executive [[Kedar Massenburg]]. A key element in neo-soul is a heavy dose of [[Fender Rhodes]] or [[Wurlitzer electric piano]] "pads" over a mellow, grooving interplay between the drums (usually with a rim shot snare sound) and a muted, deep funky bass. The Fender Rhodes piano sound gives the music a warm, organic character. 

Notable artists include Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu. Also newer artists like H.E.R and Sza are influenced by Neo Soul. Neo Soul is full of deep lyrics and soulful sounds that resonate with listeners. Neo Soul has had a lasting impact on the music industry, Along with a deep soulful sound, it also includes very soulful lyrics that touch on topics of love and even loss.
