In reply to Beam Me Up Scotty.

I'm talking about how odd it was for all these British acts to embrace the soul genre simultaneously in an attempt to crack the US charts. First was Amy Winehouse, then came Duffy, then Adele, then Sam Smith and, now, Ed Sheeran. When was soul part of British culture? Geeky pop is a British invention (Swedes may disagree), not soul.
