Future soul has emerged into the mainstream with commercial and critical success from several future soul artists such as Alex Clare[2] and his hit song "Too Close",[3] Daley,[4] Kymistry,[5] Omari Oneal[6] and Janelle Monáe.
French DJ David Guetta has done future soul in his song "Night of Your Life", which features American singer Jennifer Hudson.
[7][8] The genre since its inception has taken on a much more defined sound with artists like Josh Jacobson who emerged around the same time as Daley.
Jacobson went on to produce tracks such as "Not Alone" (featuring Skela) (2015)[9] and his cover of Little Dragon's "Twice" (2016),[10][11] which both created waves in the online music community for a unique yet defined sound.
Surrounding these releases, press including electronic tastemakers Nest HQ[12] were dubbing Jacobson's sound as "future soul".
