New York dance trio Tortured Soul mix classic R&B and soul influences into the machine-tooled sound of traditional house music. Eschewing the usual sequencers and synths, the songs on Introducing Tortured Soul were recorded with live instruments, including real bass and drums and a very '70s-sounding electric piano.
Add to this slick but warm-sounding setting John Christian Ulrich's pleading falsetto vocals and comparisons can be made both to camp disco icon Sylvester and British new wave dance-popper Jimmy Somerville, which furthers the appealingly retro qualities of this album. The songs are unapologetically poppy, with solid chorus hooks along with insistent beats, although they're invariably stretched out to elongated club-friendly lengths. A solidly entertaining album, Introducing Tortured Soul might appeal even to those who profess to dislike house music.

Lyrics:
How’s your life
Are you happy
How’s your life
Without me
Without me
Without me
I bet you have more free time
To make your money
And time with your friends
To do things that are funny
How’s your life
Is it better
How’s your life
Are you happy
Without me
Without me
Without me, hey hey
Without me (Without me)
Without me, yeah
Mm
How, how is
Your life
How is your life, baby
It’s your life
Nights all alone
Without me
Love makes a house a home
You need me
You might get by
Without me, hey hey yeah
One thing’s sure, you’re gonna cry
Without me
How’s your life
Are you happy
How’s your life
Without me
Without me
Without me
I’ll bet you have more free time
To make your money
And time with your friends
To do things that are funny
How’s your life
Is it better
How’s your life
Are you happy
Without me
Without me, hey hey
How is your life
How is your life
How is your life
How is your life
Are you happy
Are you happy now, baby
Are you happy with your life, yeah
With your life
Without me
