During an era dominated by TRL and boy bands, soulDecision's "Faded" resonated with its infectious melody, showcasing the band’s unique fusion of musicianship and pop sensibilities (a formula that worked wonders only a few years later for Maroon 5). Setting themselves apart from the manufactured acts of the time, the band not only wrote their own songs but also skillfully played their own instruments. Yet, despite this authenticity, their moment in the limelight proved fleeting. This week, SayQuoi owner Jenae Thompson joins us to unravel the mysteries behind soulDecision's brief fame, questioning whether mismanagement alone dictated their demise. Their narrative serves as a sobering reminder of the delicate balance between artistic integrity and the unpredictable currents of the music industry. In stark contrast to the lyrics of “Faded”, soulDecision's journey reminds us that making what seems like the right move in the moment might not always be best.
