A new station from Smooth
Smooth Soul was launched by Global on 12 September 2024, as part of a wave of new spin-off stations across its brands. It joined Smooth 80s, the relaunched Smooth 70s, Smooth Chill and Smooth Country in the Smooth family, giving listeners a dedicated place for soul music with Smooth's relaxing style. Global also runs Heart, Capital, Classic FM and LBC, and its stations are available on the Global Player app.
What you will hear
Smooth Soul plays timeless soul music from artists such as Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Bill Withers, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston, along with modern soul from singers such as John Legend, Alicia Keys, Corinne Bailey Rae and Michael Kiwanuka. The playlist leans towards smooth, feel-good grooves and beautiful ballads rather than uptempo dance tracks, making it perfect for relaxing at home, cooking dinner, a quiet drive or setting the mood for a special evening. Presenters add warm introductions and stories about the songs, but the music always comes first.
