What is RnB?
Also: R&B, Contemporary R&B, Rhythm and Blues
R&B (rhythm and blues) here means the contemporary form: smooth, vocal-led songwriting that descended from soul and gospel, layered over modern hip-hop, electronic, and pop production. It centres voice, intimacy, and groove — the slow-jam and late-night-radio lineage stretching from Mary J. Blige and D'Angelo through SZA, Frank Ocean, and Daniel Caesar.
