This collection includes over 135 thoughtfully curated vocal one-shots, featuring lead lines, expressive adlibs, layered backgrounds, and vibrant shouts in Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish. Rooted in the sonic aesthetics of Soul, Jazz, Funk, Fusion, and European Progressive music, every vocal cut brings its own unique nuance—offering producers a fresh palette of global vocal tones that go far beyond the typical sample pack.
Recorded through a vintage 1969 Electrodyne console and enhanced by classic microphones, diverse acoustic environments, and the iconic EMT 140 plate reverb, these samples carry the saturated warmth and analog character reminiscent of late ’60s and early ’70s studio sessions. Ideal for creators looking to weave authentic, multilingual vocal textures into their music with an unmistakable retro feel.
