Theirs is a sweet, down-tempo vibe all their own inspired by the music their parents loved and the Southern Californian cities that embraced them. Vocalist Joshua Lane’s voice was full of warmth, the chorus neither demand nor plea but plain fact: “There’ll be no peace / until there’s justice.” Thee Sacred Souls are part of a generation of musicians connecting with and celebrating the heart of 1960s soul and rhythm and blues, and their sound both revels in and diverges from those genres. The holiday felt especially farcical that year, and the fireworks we saw on our drive home-as the song provided an accidental soundtrack-seemed facetious, mocking, cruel. On July 4, 2020, Thee Sacred Souls’s “Give Us Justice,” their tribute to George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, played on the college radio station here in Miami.
