Vocal house is a musical genre that came to the fore in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is often composed of deep soulful vocals (usually sung by female jazz divas) and a piano break, at some stage of the tune. Other samples usually included jazz loops, horns and funk basslines.
It's roots can be traced back to the United States, although later influences came from Italy and the Balearics.
A few popular vocal house acts include Freemasons, Kaskade, David Morales and Star Tattooed.
