contemporary R&B

Contemporary R&B is a style of rhythm and blues that emerged in the 1980s, blending traditional soul vocals with electronic production, synthesizers, and drum machines.

The sound is smoother and more polished than earlier R&B, often incorporating elements of hip-hop, pop, and funk.

Artists like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Usher defined the genre's commercial peak.
