Raphael Wressnig – Soul Ballad (Soothe the Mind) | Official Video

Renowned Hammond B-3 organist Raphael Wressnig releases Soul Ballad (aka Soothe the Mind), the second single from his anticipated album Committed. With a nod to the late ‘60s and early ‘70s funk, soul, and soul jazz, Wressnig infuses the classic tones of the Hammond organ with a fresh, modern energy that feels both timeless and alive.

Soul Ballad sets the stage for Committed with its groovy, Hammond-fueled vibe and deeply soulful, bluesy warmth. With a laid-back yet captivating groove, Wressnig expertly crafts a rich, vintage sound while allowing the mighty B-3 to breathe and groove along. Changing tones and colors with each soulful phrase, he captures the essence of the Hammond’s expressive, slow- burning beauty. This track offers a glimpse into the album’s deep Hammond textures and showcases Wressnig’s signature style— rooted in the past, yet undeniably fresh and forward-thinking.
