Divided Souls Entertainment and Akai have once again partnered up to bring you their latest expansion aptly titled Dynamic Soul. This latest outing showcases a natural offshoot, the organic lineage to the rich history of Soul music. In recent years, R&B music has seen a bountiful resurgence by way of artists like Anderson .Paak, Kali Uchis, Solange, Bruno Mars, and many others, eschewing categorization in favour of timeless compositions. The lush arrangements, instrumentation, and an ever-present foot firmly planted in the past with the other pushing the boundaries forward are most reflective in the music, as well as this expansion. Dynamic Soul captures this essence with 40 kits packed with live guitars, bass, vintage keys and synths, allowing your creative capacity to find new heights. Soul music has proven itself timeless, and Dynamic Soul effortlessly moves across the various sub-genres with an ease that the end-user will find most appealing and creatively stimulating.
