Artist Appreciation: Curtis Harding
As the first "Artist Appreciation" post on the blog, I thought it would be good to start with someone small and not quite well-known so today we're going to be looking at gospel/soul American singer Curtis Harding. In my opinion, unless you really look for it, gospel music isn't really common nowadays, pretty much non-existent within the UK (unless you count religious hymns I suppose) Anyway, Curtis Harding describes his own music as "slop 'n' soul" which basically means its a combination of soul and rock music. "slop" symbolizes Southern culture (a sort of food given to pigs) whilst soul represents the music of his youth. I thought this was interesting combining the two genres together, despite their origins in African-American culture, soul and rock music have evolved so much that the two don't seem similar at all. Anyway, I accidentally stumbled upon Curtis Harding during the finale of the MCU show 'Falcon & The Winter Soldie...
