Combining seraphic melodies and soft-spoken lyricism, 24-year-old RnB/Soul artist Berry Soul poises the invitation to an idealized utopia. Born to a Kurdish family and raised in Gothenburg, a locality in Sweden, Berry’s unyielding love for music derives from her youth.
Centering her love of music both leisurely and educationally, Soul honed her musical skills through years of studious experience within Europe. “I grew up watching MTV, where I was first introduced to RnB and Hip-hop. There was a lot of Middle Eastern music playing in the house at all times too.” Prematurely exposed to eminences such as Beyonce, Lauryn Hill, and Alicia Keys – fused with hereditament influence – Berry Soul’s sonic ability is a testament to various musician stylings. Evident throughout her latest visual offering (“Tired”), the self-directed cut prioritizes her unapologetic approach to the millennial lifestyle. Structurally gliding among a snare-rattling instrumental, the single is just one example showcasing her penchant for poetic soul – because after all, “it’s all in the name.” – Amal AlTauqi
