Northern Soul is the debut album by the British dance band M People. It was originally released on 4 November 1991. After the release of the single "Excited", a new song not originally included on the album, it was re-released with an updated track listing in late 1992, reaching number 53 on the UK albums chart. Following the success of the band's later albums, Elegant Slumming and Bizarre Fruit, this second version was re-issued in October 1995 and charted at number 26.

In the beginning, the M People were at the cutting edge of the early Nineties dance scene. Innovators of the happy/handbag house sound, M People's debut Northern Soul showcases their innovative sound. Comprising Heather Small on vocals and Mike Pickering on keyboards (along with assorted other group members), the album justifies why they were originally seen as a dance act. Although hinting at the future direction the group would take, their sound here is a lot less polished than their later work and the rough edges make the album all the more exciting. Opening with the club classics "Excited" and "How Can I Love You More", the album right from the onset positions you in the heart of early 1990s house music. The pace is slowed down somewhat by less frantic tracks such as "Landscape Of Love" and "Tumbling Down", but even they have a distinctive housey pulse.
