Soul is Heavy is an album by Nigerian-German singer-songwriter Nneka.

Soul Is Heavy stays true to Nneka’s African and Western European roots with a successful fusion of reggae, dub, dancehall, hip hop, and soul. The album features the popular singles “Shining Star”, “My Home” and “Soul Is Heavy” and features songs with Ms. Dynamite, Black Thought (The Roots) and Wura Samba & Mohammed.
