Vienna-based genre-blending collective Soul de Vienne has released ‘Please, Forgive Me Today,’ a deeply personal single that serves as composer and producer Roman Schleischitz’s musical apology for events from 40 years ago. The track showcases the Austrian ensemble’s signature fusion of soul, jazz, funk, R&B, and pop through sophisticated live arrangements.

The single features Soul de Vienne’s trademark approach of combining warm, nostalgic melodies with emotionally charged brass sections performed on live instruments including trumpet, guitar, e-piano, bass, and drums. The arrangement captures what Schleischitz calls “the vulnerability of looking back on past mistakes and finding the courage to reconcile decades later.”

Soul de Vienne operates with a rotating lineup of top-tier musicians, allowing the collective to adapt its sound while maintaining the emotional core that defines their performances. This approach enables the group to shift between avant-garde showcases and crowd-pleasing live sets, with each performance shaped by the ensemble’s ability to read and respond to their audience.

The release of ‘Please, Forgive Me Today’ demonstrates how Soul de Vienne transforms personal narrative into universal themes through sophisticated musical arrangements. The track represents both artistic achievement and emotional catharsis, positioning music as a vehicle for reconciliation where traditional communication falls short.

With their combination of technical mastery and heartfelt expression, Soul de Vienne continues to establish Vienna as a hub for innovative soul and jazz fusion, creating music where “every note resonates with listeners” through the collective’s commitment to live instrumentation and emotional authenticity.

‘Please, Forgive Me Today’ is available now on all major streaming platforms.
