Soul on Board is the debut solostudio album by the English singerCurt Smith, released on 6 September 1993 byVertigo andPhonogram Records.

The album was Smith's first musical venture after leaving pop rock bandTears for Fears in 1991. Preceded by the single "Calling Out", both the album and the single were ultimately unsuccessful and failed to chart in the UK. A second single, "Words", also failed to chart. Subsequently, the album was never released at all in the US, although advance promotional cassettes were distributed in the US in very limited quantities, indicating that a US release of the album was originally planned.

Smith later stated that he despises the album and alleges that he made it purely to fulfil hisrecording contract withPhonogram andMercury Records.

The Gazette wrote that "Smith's album is just as studio-professional and wallpaper-forgettable as whatever his fellow former TFF pop snob Roland Orzabal put out."[4]
