Being the new kid on the block, Vapor Soul is a music genre of debated origins, some say it was only invented by spotify in their wrapped yearly event as a marketing ploy, others believe that it is just the kids new trend. But to the attentive listener, they will notice that this kind of music has been slowly defining itself and growing its repertoire artist after artist for the past decade.
Vapor soul is a vibey mixture of Deep House, Electronica, Indie Pop, Hip Hop, ChillStep, House, usually with some lofi aesthetic (but is far from a requirement) and filling you with a genuine and warm feeling of peace of mind. An obvious comparasion with Vapor Wave is to be made, where some could argue Vapor Soul to be a blend of modern non ironic music with the "vapor" in Vapor Wave.
Some defining examples of vapor soul artists include: Tora, ZHU, BAYNK, Ark Patrol, TENDER, Tep No, Shallou, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Foreign Air, Hablot Brown, Tim Atlas, NoMBe, BANKS, Mansionair, Bob Moses, Flight Facilities, The Whitest Boy Alive, Chet Faker, Geoffrey, Filous, RKCB, SG Lewis, Emmit Fenn, NASAYA, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Crooked Colours, Big Wild, ODESZA, Louis La Roche, Tourist, Two Another, The Kite String Tangle, Kidnap, Villas Alps, Yoe Mase and many more existing or about to come.
