Exclusive Interview: Pop Culturalist Chats with GSoul

Global superstar GSoul pens a love letter to his fans with the release of his first-ever English-language EP titled Natural. The five-track collection highlights GSoul’s powerhouse vocals and showcases his most raw and vulnerable work to date. Pop Culturalist was lucky enough to speak with GSoul about the project.

PC: How did you discover your passion for music?
GSoul: I have always loved singing for as long as I can remember. I fell in love with R&B music growing up.

PC: Who or what has had the biggest influence on your career?
GSoul: Mariah Carey.

PC: You’ve had a lot of success throughout your career. When you look back, is there a moment that stands out?
GSoul: There have been so many amazing moments. One moment that stands out is when I won amateur night at the Apollo. That was surreal.

PC: Tell us about Natural and the inspiration behind the EP.
GSoul: It’s my love letter to my fans and loved ones.

PC: If you had to select a song off of Natural that best encompasses who you are as an artist, which would it be and why?
GSoul: I can’t choose. [laughs] All of them show different sides of me as an artist and a vocalist.

PC: You’ve said in previous interviews that this is one of your most personal works to date. Was it ever a scary prospect to tap into that vulnerability?
GSoul: You can only be truly strong when you can be vulnerable. I find my strength in my vulnerability and that’s how I communicate with my fans through my music.

PC: As we look ahead to 2022, what can fans expect from you?
GSoul: Hopefully, touring!

Pop Culturalist Speed Round

PC: A band or artist that fans would be surprised to learn is on your playlist?
GSoul: I don’t know. [laughs] I listen to many different kinds of music and artists.

PC: First album you bought?
GSoul: Mariah Carey’s Music Box.

PC: First concert you attended?
GSoul: Mariah Carey. [laughs] I’m such a fanboy.

PC: An album that changed your life and why?
GSoul: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. It’s a classic with the message, arrangement, and vocal performance.

PC: A venue on your bucket list to perform at?
GSoul: The Apollo.

PC: A must-have on the road?
GSoul: God.
