Album Introduction
Vol. II: 1990 – A New Decade is the second studio album by Soul II Soul — the pioneering London-based collective led by Jazzie B — released in 1990 on Virgin Records. The album reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, following the worldwide success of their debut Club Classics Vol. One (1989). Get a Life reached UK No. 5 (1990) and A Dream's a Dream reached UK No. 19 (1990). The 10-track album demonstrates Soul II Soul's distinctive 'funki dread' sound — blending smooth soul, R&B, funk, jazz influences and sophisticated production — giving them a position as one of the most influential acts in shaping British soul and urban music of the era.
