R&B (rhythm and blues) has a variety of wildly different sounds, ranging from soulful, modern, acoustic-driven tracks to heavily produced electronic, afro-beat rhythms, or trap-influenced instrumental.

Even their diverse subgenres like neo-soul, trap soul, contemporary R&B, and alternative R&B take me into another orbit!!

There is something so fun about listening knowing that it’s going to be completely different from the previous song.

So let’s meet the artists!
