In honor of Black Music Month, here are seven of R&B’s finest rising stars. Summer Walker, Victoria Monét, Bryson Tiller, Queen Naija, and a host of others are paying dust to the tired idea that " R&B is dead" by incorporating elements of hip-hop, alternative, and even electronic music into their sound.Īnd while it may not be your mother’s traditional R&B, it’s worth turning up in embrace of the genre’s ongoing evolution. These days, artists like Jazmine Sullivan, SZA, Ari Lennox, Kehlani, Jhené Aiko, Giveon, and Daniel Caesar rule the genre, but there’s always room for more in the mix. Since its inception, R&B has veered away from the jazz and blues that lay at its foundation. Throughout its long history, R&B lyrics and instrumentation have been a source of inspiration and empowerment for Black Americans - with Sam Cooke 's "A Change is Gonna Come" and Marvin Gaye 's "What's Going On" being clear examples. Of course, the genre is much deeper than make-up-to-breakup anthems and "baby-making music." R&B originated in the 1940s as a catch-all term for Black music, later giving birth to soul music in the '60s and evolving further in the '90s to include a breadth of contemporary influences. From fighting just to make up, to setting a cheating lover's clothes ablaze, to finding any excuse to mention a crush's name in conversation, good R&B music will make you feel all the emotions.
