The celebrated duo MFR Souls are renowned for their skill in combining soulful music with energetic dance beats. MFR Souls have established their position as innovators in the genre with their latest full-length album, From The Heart Of Piano, which showcases a collection of music that embodies the essence of Amapiano. The album serves as a tribute to the genre, featuring tracks that seamlessly blend innovation and nostalgia, expanding its horizons while staying true to Amapiano’s fundamental essence.
MFR Souls, Mdu aka TRP and Kabza De Small recently made a guest appearance on Saxo, accompanied by KJM on the cornet.
The project starts with the track Essence, an introductory piece that establishes the tone for the album with its soothing, atmospheric melodies and peaceful instrumentation. Initially, the track has a minimalist quality, but it gradually evolves into a dynamic combination of rhythm and emotional depth. As the album unfolds, MFR Souls delve into a diverse range of sonic landscapes, encompassing upbeat, club-oriented hits and more contemplative, soul-filled slow tracks.
Soul Searching is a standout track that combines rich basslines, uplifting keyboards, and melodic log drums to create a deep, groovy foundation. The track’s soulful melodies are accompanied by the emotive vocals of guest artists, which bring out a sense of yearning and introspection. Heavenly showcases a dynamic balance of celestial harmonies and an urgent percussive beat that propels the listener forward while preserving a soothing atmosphere.
A central aspect of From The Heart Of Piano is the collaborations with the MFR Souls team partnering up with numerous Amapiano artists, such as Boohle, Nkosazana Daughter, and Josiah De Disciple. The collaborations on the album introduce a richer and more varied sound, demonstrating the genre’s capacity to unite diverse voices and viewpoints. The album’s wide range of styles is apparent, with songs like Sunset Groove creating a mellow, calming atmosphere, whereas Jump & Dance increases the pace and intensity, making it an ideal selection for dancing.
