广义上,R&B可视为“黑人的流行音乐”,它源於黑人的Blues音乐,是现今西行流行来和摇滚来的基础。
Stevie Wonder
Boyz II Men
Babyface
Babyface不仅是一名成功的制作人,还是一名出色的R&B歌手,经由他手制作的歌曲大多都成了排行榜的热门单曲,他长长的制作名单上不乏如麦当娜、玛丽亚·凯莉、席琳·狄翁、艾瑞克·克莱普顿、迈克尔·杰克逊这样的大牌艺人。然而真正为他赢来第一座格莱美奖杯的却是作为他自己的专辑《For The Cool In You》的歌手,而获得最佳R&B男歌手。
with him
Usher
burn Billboard Top 100
1999年的格莱美颁奖礼上,Lauryn Hill凭借在专辑《The》中的出色表现,获得格莱美十项提名,并最终赢得了包括“最佳R&B女歌手”和“最佳年度唱片”在内的五项大奖,也让她成为第一个在一届格莱美上摘取五个金唱机的女艺人,在Lauryn Hill的音乐中不仅有R&B柔情的旋律,还有Hip-Hop强劲的节奏,Lauryn Hill的音乐和成长背景注定了她可以自如地驾驭这些音乐风格而丝毫没有凝滞的感觉。
Lauryn Hill 99g9
Mariah Carey
流行天后Mariah Carey在R&B领域取得的成就有目共睹,实际上Mariah Carey是过去十年来对华语歌迷影响深远的几个欧美流行艺人之一。她那能震碎玻璃的海豚高音虽与传统的R&B音乐有着明显的出入,却在炫丽之余,将内心的情感融入到歌曲当中,深得全世界粉丝的欢心。
We Belong Together
R.Kelly
“I Belive I Can Fly”曾是多少篮球少年的励志金曲,甚至也成为传奇篮球明星迈克尔乔丹的主题曲,R.Kelly凭借这首歌达到了事业的顶峰,不仅捧得三项格莱美大奖,还让他真正登上了流行巨星的宝座,虽然R.Kelly某些歌曲中的色情意味以及不检点的私生活一直为人诟病,却丝毫不影响其歌曲的感染力。
I Belive I Can Fly
Sade
虽然入行至今已经有20多个年头,Sade只推出过五张专辑和一张精选,与其他同辈歌手相比专辑数量几乎算是少得可怜,但事实上,她的第一张唱片就为她铺平了通往巨星的道路。《Riamond Life》更是仅用了一年的时间就在全球取得六白金的唱片销量,也使Sade成为英国最畅销的女歌手,她沉厚的磁性嗓音和慵懒随性的唱腔则赋予了她优雅、独特、神秘的个人魅力
IMMIGRANT
Craig David
一曲《7 Days》从英伦席卷了全球,就连国内选秀歌手也将这位“英国小王子”视为自己的偶像,并在比赛中以翻唱他的歌曲为荣。Craig David出生在英国的南安普顿,受贝司手父亲的影响,小克雷格很早就在俱乐部担任说唱歌手和DJ,处女单曲“Fill Me In”横扫全英单曲排行榜,首张专辑“Born To Do It”打破了R&B传统,以独特的2-Step Garage音乐元素,以及嘻哈、摇滚、拉丁、爵士等音乐风格的融入,从很多方面改变了R&B的原始定义。
Unbelievable
John Legend
随着流行乐的发展R&B越来越多的同Hip-Hop、Rock等流行元素密不可分。John Legend在得到著名Hip-Hop制作人Kanye West一纸合约之前,就已经与包括Lauryn Hill、Jay-Z在内的大牌艺人有过合作,然而真正令John Legend一举成名却是在Kanye West为其制作专辑《Get Lifted》之后,John Legend凭借这张专辑一举夺得最佳R&B专辑、最佳R&B男歌手等三项大奖,2006年John 又凭借《Once Again》再度捧走了最佳R&B男歌手的金唱机。

Song: Negative Things
Listen baby
I wonder why sometimes we fall apart oh yeah
Together we are so wonderfull yeah baby
And every single day i pray,
that really things shouldnt never be this way
Im only trynna be a better man
Why then do you see all the negative things, in me?
Cos all i ever do is try to be,
all that i can be
Girl you know your hurting me,
all the things you say to me
As i lie at night im imagining things,
how it used to be, girl you know your hurting me
What am i to do with a broken heart?
All the time everybody say that you and me are over
But i know were meant to be together for eternity
Was it untrue what we promised each other?
Baby my heart keeps telling me
That it shouldnt be this way forever
Im only trynna be a better man
Why then do you see all the negative things, in me?
Cos all i ever do is try to be,
all that i can be
Girl you know your hurting me,
all the things you pray to me
As i lie at night im imagining things,
how it used to be, girl you know your hurting me
What am i to do with a broken heart?
Girl remember when, we made our promices?
That we would be together through-out every single thing
Now im only trynna be a better man,
but you've never noticed that
Girl i truely love, to be around you
And baby ill give you anything you want me to
Cos i know this might be hard for you,
And i know that we will be
Why then do you see all the negative things, in me?
Cos all i ever do is try to be,
all that i can be
Girl you know your hurting me,
all the things you pray to me
As i lie at night im imagining things,
how it used to be, girl you know your hurting me
What am i to do with a broken heart?
