Neo soul (also known as nu soul) is a marketing term for a sub-genre of contemporary R&B. The music is usually a hybrid of 1970s-influenced soul music with influences from jazz, funk, Latin, African, hip hop and house music. The term neo soul was originated by Kedar Massenburg of Motown Records in the late 1990s. Neo soul's audience tends to be underground, preferring that the music favor underground credibility and soulfulness over mainstream popularity. Some musicians who create what is described as neo-soul prefer to disassociate themselves from the tag, due to the term's buzzword-like usage. Some of these artists simply refer to themselves as soul artists.
