Two singers, the classical rock quartet, alto sax and a wide use of analog synthetizers are the source of Urban Soul's live sound.
The two voices are involved together to create complex harmonies; the quartet's job, together with the alto sax, is to funk the house; a non-trivial set of cuts and loops, sometimes coupled with live percussion, completes a wide spectrum of sounds which faces every day the challenge to mix harmonic research with physical movement, dance with melodies.
The band was formed in 2000, and the main task of the early periods was to fuse experiences and musical backgrounds of the members in a straight and close funky style.

“Sin atreverme demasiado a etiquetar a este grupo como “funk jazz progresivo”, son los amplios espectros tonales y la solidez de la propuesta de URBAN SOUL lo que permite recomendar a oídos cerrados su álbum debut, con apreciación general de 9/10”

“Hey, these guys are HOT. They have the perfect songs, cool singers, great musicians, and I'm lovin' the Italian thing. It's soooo groovy... get yourself one, you'll love it.”
Funky Junkie - Cd Baby
“Funky, accenni r'n'b, simpatie soul, qualche svisata "moderna". una miscela vincente per i romani urban soul che ci regalano nove pezzi godibilissimi. molto piacevole il gioco ad incastro delle doppie voci leader. Stimolante l'uso dei fiati. Non male la discreta presenza del moog
