  1. Contemporary R&B (also known as R&B, singing with a rhythmic beat, urban pop, R'n'B, RnB, Hip Pop R&B, Heavy R&B or Modern R&B) is a music genre of American and Canadianpopular music, the current iteration of the genre that began in the 1940s as rhythm and blues music. Although the acronym "R&B" originates from its association with traditional rhythm and blues music, the term R&B is today most often used to define a style of African American music originating after the demise of disco in the 1980s.

  2. History of R & B By Robbie and Lisa • With the transition from soul and disco to R&B in the early to mid 1980s, new stars such as Prince and Michael Jackson rose in popularity. Jackson's Thriller re-popularized black music with pop audiences after a post-disco backlash among United States mainstream audiences. • Female R&B singers such as Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson became very popular during the second half of the 1980s, and Tina Turner came back with a series of hits with crossover appeal. Also popular was New Edition, a group of teenagers who served as the prototype for later boy bands.

  3. R & B • By the 2000s, the cross-pollination between R&B and hip hop had increased. Mainstream modern R&B has a sound more based on rhythm than hip hop soul had, and lacks the hardcore and soulful urban "grinding" feel on which hip-hop soul relied. That rhythmic element descends from new jack swing. Some of the most prominent R&B musicians today include artists such as Mario, Beyoncé, Rihanna, LeToyaLuckett, Usher, Ne-Yo, RaheemDeVaughn, Omarion, Keyshia Cole .

  4. R & B • Soulful R&B continues to be popular, with artists such as Mario, Alicia Keys, Lyfe Jennings, Anthony Hamilton, and John Legend showcasing classic influences in their work. Mariah Carey remains the most influential modern R&B artist to date, leaving her mark on young contemporary R&B artists including Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Ciara, Fergie, Rihanna and Alicia Keys. Some singers have also used elements of Caribbean music in their work, especially dancehall and reggaeton.
