🎷 Alternative R&B

My Favorite Music Genre

Alternative R&B is a term used by music journalists to describe a stylistic alternative to contemporary R&B that began in the mid 2000s and came to prominence with musical artists such as Frank Ocean, Drake, the Weeknd, SZA, Khalid, Bryson Tiller, PartyNextDoor, Tory Lanez, 6lack and others.

My personal favorites are Olivia Dean and Cleo Sol, both British singer-songwriters with a talent for capturing a unique depth in their music that almost makes you feel connected to them in spirit.
