Vocal
house is a musical genre that came to the fore in
the late 1980s and early '90s. It is often comprised of deep
soulful vocals (usually sung by female jazz divas) and a
piano break, at some stage of the tune. Other samples
usually included jazz loops, horns and
funk basslines.
Its roots can be traced back to America, although later influences came from Italy and the Balearics.
