I don't think it is possible to be innovative in soul music. I don't think it ever truly was.
Certainly not in a musical sense.
Lyrically, maybe. I think Amy Winehouse managed something in that respect by changing the lyrical content, but thats about it.
Soul should be left well alone for what it is and its better for it.
