Soul rock is a musical genre designated to label musicians who verge from having a rock-based sound that not only relies heavily on guitar, bass, and drums, but also the smooth vocal harmonies that are typically attributed to soul singers.
This label has been used to categorize popular bands such as The BellRays, Simply Red, Hall & Oates and Maroon 5 or more independent bands such as The Shivers. Some solo artists such as James Morrison, Paolo Nutini, Tina Turner and James Blunt have specialised in soul rock. Singer-songwriter Nerina Pallot experimented with soul rock in her Dear Frustrated Superstar era.
