R & amp; B Contemporary (also known as R & B ), is a music genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues, pop, soul, funk, hip hop, and electronic music.
This genre has a distinctive recording production style, a drum-backed rhythm, an occasional saxophone beat to give jazz shades (mostly common in contemporary R & B contemporary songs before 1995) and a smooth and lush vocal arrangement style. Electronic influences are an increasing trend and the use of hip hop or dance-inspired beats is typical, although the roughness and grit attached to hip hop can be reduced and smoothed. Vocalist R & amp; Contemporary B is often known for their use of melisma, popularized by vocalists such as Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, David Craig, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey.

Histori
Contemporary R & amp; B originated at the end of the disco era, in the late 1970s, when Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones added more electronic elements to the sound of black music back then to create a smoother dancefloor-friendly sound. The first outcome is Off the Wall (1979), which - according to Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic - "is a visionary album, which finds a way to break the disco wide open into a new world where the rhythm can not be denied, but not the main focus "and" is part of a colorful tapestry of ballads and strings of lush, subtle souls and pop, soft rock, and funk. "
Richard J. Ripani wrote that Janet Jackson Control (1986) "is important for R & D development for a number of reasons", because he and his producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "created a new sound combining rhythmic funk and disco elements, along with heavy dose synthesizers, percussion, sound effects and rap music sensibility. "Ripani wrote that" Control success "leads to the incorporation of rap-style features over the next few years, and Janet Jackson will continue to be one of the leaders in that development. " In the same year, Teddy Riley started producing R & amp; B which includes the influence of hip hop. Combination of R & amp; B and hip hop is called the new jack swing and is applied to artists such as Bobby Brown, Keith Sweat, Al B. Of course, Guy, Jodeci, and Bell Biv DeVoe.
