Neo Soul Hero and Heroine

Neo Soul music has only been around for a few decades, but has been the star to the

modern music style that has blossomed in the hip hop culture. This type of music style

has provided music listeners the ability to hear another form of enlightening music. It has

particular artist that have put Neo Soul at the top of its game and has provided a more

positive awareness to the community. These artists can be recognized as the hero and

heroines of Neo Soul and conscious music everywhere.

Eryka Badu, a successful female Neo Soul artist, is recognized as being the goddess

of the culture. She is the epitome of a heroine because of her knowledge and wisdom of

the music industry and the dedication she has shown towards it. She has touched the heart

and souls of many listeners and understands the most effective way of translating her

music to others. The impact she has in the black community shows her passion and love

for her people. She breaks the stereotypical aspect of black women by carrying herself

with natural pride and beauty. Other black women can look and listen to her and

understand what she stands for. She inspires us to love ourselves and to never give up on

your dream. 

On the other hand, as for a hero in the Neo Soul industry, Maxwell, who was

the 2010 Grammy award winner for Best Male R&B album, is one of the most influential

singers in the music industry.  He puts a lot of effort into his music and can make any

women come to tears when he sings. Just listening to the words in his songs can make a

person think about a lot of things. For example, some of his songs can help you realize

you have a good partner and want to make things work. This to me shows the leadership

and dedication to be able to help others and not always focus on you. 

That is what being a hero or heroine is about. It’s about having the confidence and drive to be a role model 

for others to look up to and take strides to make a difference. Even after their time in the spot

light has ceased, the remembrance of them will always be around.
