Soule - The Untold Story (Album)

Earlier this week, I came across this IG post from Florida artist Soule where it showcased a record from her titled “The Invade” that sounded profound & calamitous with a preview of a video to go along with it. It told the story of a young woman being sexually abused by her mother’s boyfriend, who didn’t believe her & even accused her of asking for the torment behavior. The story unfolded to be such a tragic turn of events & I be lying if I didn’t say the record had me tearing up by the end; it was stricken with a storytelling ability that put you in the background of this tale without no way to stop it. I found out afterward that this record was off her latest compilation titled “The Untold Story.” It’s a group of tracks that tell powerful narratives and is blessed with the ability to conjure up a vivid look into each story. Soule reanimates these tracks in such a beautiful way since it takes certain life obstacles that many face daily to heights that we shouldn’t sweep under the rug but embrace to help those around us dealing with the matters.

Each song on this album speaks volumes; pay attention to every bar she spits. It’s insane imagery, and I think we don’t get anything less of greatness from her. Soule’s pen is mighty in this album, and she doesn’t hold back one ounce of emotion when spilling her soul. Her intro record begins to talk about how a woman is perceived from a man’s view who has evil intentions. Most women don’t have trust for a man, and it’s not because they're sexist, but it’s because they’ve been hurt too much by the reason that their feeling was never accounted for, whether it be in a relationship or confrontation that didn’t need to go as far as it did. Soule starts the album on a high note, and I can tell it will only go farther the more we follow her lead. “The 911” explains the hardship minorities have to deal with concerning police and government-related issues. Growing up, the conversation on justice becomes more erratic due to blacks & browns being jailed or shot for just the color of their skin. Soule speaks on being judged and having a second look at her character just due to her race; it's a significant factor in why we retaliate to show we demand equality. It’s gone long enough, and we continue fighting to ensure our voices are heard. Her follow-up records like “The Poison” & “The Field” are standout tracks to me; they talk about the means of putting too much trust in people. It can be part of a relationship that feels one-sided where your falling into misery, or it could be the fact that people are asking too much of your personal time while you're attempting to make it better for yourself. As much as I would love to break down the whole album, I want to give the listeners a chance to enter at their pace. There are a lot of relatable factors in this album that I’m sure you're dealing with, and this will be your escape to know others are dealing with it and how they got out of it. Soule does a beautiful job of becoming a masterful wordsmith throughout the album. I compare her to storytellers in my life like Tupac Shakur, Dwayne Carter, Andre Benjamin & Brad Jordan. She’s uplifting a whole generation on this album, and welcome the next to hear her heart roar.

Soule has dropped two visuals from the project that are doing substantial well, and I’m sure it will expand the more people become introduced to her music. We highly recommend you get started by checking out her album here while sharing it around on all social media avenues.
