Afro house 10 mix (vocal mix)

Vocal house is a subgenre of house music that places a strong emphasis on vocals and melodic elements. It combines the repetitive beats and rhythms of traditional house music with the addition of soulful, uplifting, and often gospel-inspired vocals. The vocals in vocal house tracks can be either original recordings or samples taken from other songs.

Vocal house emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s, primarily in the club scenes of New York, Chicago, and the United Kingdom. It drew influence from genres such as disco, soul, R&B, and gospel. Artists and producers like Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, Masters at Work, and Todd Terry played a significant role in popularizing and shaping the vocal house sound.

The vocals in vocal house tracks often convey positive and uplifting messages, promoting love, unity, and the power of music. The lyrics can range from catchy hooks and repetitive chants to emotionally charged verses. The vocals are usually performed by solo artists, divas, or vocal groups, lending a human touch and emotional depth to the music.

Musically, vocal house typically features a four-on-the-floor beat with a steady kick drum, hi-hats, and other percussion elements. It incorporates melodic synth lines, lush pads, and piano chords to create a harmonically rich and atmospheric backdrop. The vocals are often the focal point of the track, supported by catchy melodies and hooks that are easy to sing along with and create a sense of euphoria on the dancefloor.

Vocal house has remained a popular subgenre within the electronic music scene, with numerous classic and contemporary tracks defining its sound. It continues to evolve and incorporate influences from other genres, including pop, deep house, and soulful house, while maintaining its uplifting and melodic character.

Notable vocal house tracks and artists include "Finally" by CeCe Peniston, "Show Me Love" by Robin S, "You Don't Know Me" by Armand Van Helden, "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" by Modjo, and "Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez, among many others.
