Description
R&B, or rhythm and blues, is a genre rooted in African American musical traditions that blends soulful vocals with grooves drawn from funk, jazz, and hip-hop. The music emphasizes emotional expression through smooth melodies and rich harmonies, often exploring themes of love and relationships. Contemporary R&B incorporates electronic production and pop sensibilities while maintaining its focus on vocal prowess and rhythmic sophistication.
