R&B (rhythm and blues), is a musical genre combining soul with funk, reggae, hip hop and elements of rock and pop music. Usher, Ciara and Mariah Carey are well known R&B singers with powerful vocals that typify this sound.
Rhythm and blues
When we hear “rhythm and blues,” most of us envision iconic performers such as Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin or Otis Redding. But R&B music encompasses various subgenres like funk, soul and hip hop – and often draws from black American culture by way of spirituals, work songs, ballads, chants shouts or field hollers which were performed by African Americans themselves.
Some artists who perform R&B are considered traditionalists, while others have experimented with pushing its limits. Grammy-winner Mary J Blige serves as an excellent example of this latter category; her powerful vocals and danceable tunes have made her a fan favorite over decades.
Leela James has broken boundaries within R&B music with her award-winning soul crooning and fearless approach to song. As founder of Hurray for the Riff Raff, her journeys around the globe as modern-day Huck Finn have inspired art that reminds us there are always other ways of life.
Rhythm and soul
R&B (rhythm and blues) is an umbrella term encompassing most post-World War II African-American musical styles, from early rock ‘n’ roll and doo wop to soul, funk, disco and contemporary R&B (aka urban contemporary). In some circles it even extends to dancehall, reggae and hip hop music styles.
Urban Blues music first emerged in urban centers like New York, Chicago and Detroit during the late 1930s, where its artists were steeped in blues and Black American church music traditions; some records even featured overtly Christian lyrics. Instrumentation emphasized electric guitar, drums, bass and piano while lead vocalists provided melodies performed through vocal improvisations.
Etta James and Sam Cooke led an evolution between rhythm and blues and pop music during the 1960s. Motown Records produced commercially polished sounds featuring glamorous singers with propulsive rhythm sections; Stax Records of Memphis combined southern blues with soulful crooning from Otis Redding and Carla Thomas for its own commercial sound.
In the 1970s, R&B music shifted back towards disco and funk music. By the 1980s and 90s, however, funk and rap became more widely popular while R&B evolved into more of an electronic-driven style with contemporary beats that was known as New Jack Swing and introduced it to new audiences.
Today’s rhythm and soul still features some hallmarks from its early iterations, including danceable beats and powerful vocals, but has evolved into its own distinctive genre with an infusion of jazz and pop influences that is both current and timeless.
Today’s leading RB and soul performers, such as Mary J Blige and Alicia Keys, use their voices to convey emotion while remaining true to the core essence of their music. These performers combine elements such as hip hop, R&B, poetic interludes and an undeniable soul into their performance.
Future prospects of R&B music remain unclear, but it remains an integral component of modern music. Some experts predict that its relevance may wane with the rise of hip-hop and rap, while others predict its continued growth.
