Hey sophisti lovers! I'm currently finishing preperations for a sophisti-pop Discord server. If you don't know what discord is, it's basically Skype but one that still works [lol] and has it's own various communities for all kinds of interests and topics. Please hit me up if you enjoy this music! <3 If I have my way with this server, it will be a fun space to talk about this wonderful yet overlooked genre, share juicy recommendations, uncover obscurities and even discuss similarly smooth stuff

Check out my long-in-the-making sophisti-pop mix at the links! Double, Viktor Lazlo, ABC, The Style Council, Anna Domino, George Michael, Moodoid, and many more. Tried to create the feeling of a cocktail party on a yacht or cruise; romantic, scenic, transitional, laid-back. https://8tracks.com/tinderboxofaheart/sophisti-pop-summer + https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB0qm7266sOP6-Yb3PA_wmXjKM0LQo9a2

I made a sequel last summer! This one is more about morning / oldtime city vibes, usually quite British. In a way, it's a soundtrack to summer fading into autumn. Prefab Sprout, Level 42, China Crisis. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB0qm7266sONZ5GLpJPhQeEVB7uopywnU

Smooth jazz is most of the time elevator muzak, it's instrumental. Sophisti-pop is actually interesting pop music (it even branched out to soul on some occasions) made by talented singers or bands with a love for classy, lush, sophisticated -indeed- music of composers like Burt Bacharach. Smooth jazz is merely meant to be heard as background music, sophisti-pop is meant to be listened, although it also perfectly functions as background music. Both are jazzy, the main difference is quality.

To me sophisti-pop is music for dinner parties where smug twats can drone on and on while their expensive hi-fi plays bland jazz tinged pop pap.

@SoulJazzsterInc: ABBA certainly had complicated or sophisticated song structures, but certainly not much jazz influence. All in all this ever more slicing of genres isn't satisfying. Especially when we stick to artist as base. Too many artists don’t do us the favour to keeping a single genre mind. Even tracks often switch or alternate genre. Remember [track artist=Queen]Bohemian Rhapsody[/track]?
