==Background and Recording==
The recording sessions for Soul began back in 2010, and by spring 2011 the album was confirmed to be completed. A track from the sessions, Loving Me To Death, made it onto a re-release of Mood Swings and was a precursor to Moodring's new, mellow sound. In March 2011, Moodring announced a year long hiatus, so that new Mother Cassie could spend time with her children, Bre could recover from a mental health condition and L'mondrea could work on a solo album. In early 2012 the band announced they were back together, and new music was revealed in April. The first track to be released from Soul is Broken, out May 28, 2012.

==Content==
Unlike the last album, Mood Swings, Soul concentrates on one genre of music, soul-inspired ballads and midtempo tracks. Furthermore, whilst Mood Swings was almost entirely produced by band member L'mondrea, Soul brings in big name producers: Jermaine Dupri, (Diamond Tears); Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, (Colour Me In, Foolish, Spaceman); Babyface, (Broken, (Too Hard To Say) I Love You); William Orbit, (Burn Part 1 and 2, extra production on Innocente); Delerium, (Innocente) and Ryan Tedder; (Change Like The Seasons, This Time). The group did this to diversify the sound, so that even though all the tracks are slow, there is a variation in styles, including minimalist dance and classic r&b.
