Sweethearts is a music group founded in the City of Geelong, Australia in 1989[1][2][3] who play new soul – a fusion of styles based around classic soul and Motown. They have an international following [4] and play at concerts of big music festivals.

The Sweethearts began at Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College under the direction of Ross Lipson.[5] Lipson was a science and instrumental teacher at the school, who with colleagues from the music department, formed a group to play jazz standards and soul music.

In mid-year of 2013 they were the subject of a multi-part documentary on the Australian ABC television[6][7][8] and have had air play on Australian national radio network Triple J with their song "Secret".[9]
