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 Urich'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:
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
Your lover and your friend
I'll be there for you
I'll be there till the end
I'll be there for you
When things are up or down
I'll be there for you
Baby, I'll be around
[Verse 1]
When you're lonely come over take my hand
Got a problem
I'll try to understand
Girl just call me and I will run to you
Leave you hanging no, I will never do
Baby look in my eyes, I won't tell you no lies
I've loved you for ever
Girl, I know that we were meant to be together
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
Standing right by your side
I'll be there for you
Dry your tears when you cry
I'll be there for you
When things are up or down
I'll be there for you
Baby, I'll be around
[Verse 2]
When your family only makes you tense
And your friends ain't givin' you confidence
When you're tired girl, I can take the weight
Need some extra time I will stay up late
When I look in your eyes
I know i've got a prize
And I wanna keep her
Every day i'm with you girl, I love you deeper
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you
More than just a lover and your friend
I'll be there for you
You know that I'll be there til' the end
I'll be there for you
Never want you feeling lonely
I'll be there for you
'Cause you are my one and only
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for always
I'll be there for you
Through the good and bad days
I'll be there for you
Baby you and me together
I'll be there for you
I'll be loving you forever
[Outro]
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
La-la-la-la-la
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
You, you, you I'll be there for you
I'll be there, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I'll be there for you
Always and forever baby
I'll be there for you
Yeah you know that you're my lady
I'll be there for you
Girl I promise, yes I do
There's one thing that you can count on to be true
I'll be there for you
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la-la-la-la
