Long overlooked and pressed in modest quantities, the album quietly built a reputation among collectors as one of those rare low-budget releases where the artistry far outweighed the resources behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFronted by the charismatic Herbie Hunte, whose warm and expressive vocals drive the record throughout, the Royalists blend blue-eyed soul, post-beat pop, light psychedelia and baroque flourishes into a sound both sincere and distinctive. From the infectious opener “Baby I Love You” to the ambitious “Royal Suite” and the atmospheric instrumental standout “Lost Voyage”, the album showcases a band making inspired music with heart, energy and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its humble origins, The Soul of The Matter stands today as a rediscovered gem, passed between collectors and crate-diggers for decades.
