Enjoy this new part of Synth-Pop & Sophisti-Pop by The Smooth Operators. Sophisticated Pop is a smooth, jazzy style of mainstream pop/rock that first appeared during the mid-'80s. Sophisti-Pop artists, like Sade and The Blow Monkeys, merged jazz-soul characteristics with their sound. About three decades later bands like Jessie Ware (picture), Work Drugs and Capital Cities borrowed elements from that style to create something new. Sophisticated Pop sounds best on lazy days when the weather is extremely hot.
