Recommend Me Some R&B

[StevenRichardsRules]

I've been wanting to get into R&B for a while. So can anyone point me in the right direction? What are some good artists to look at and some good songs to listen to?

Jagged Edge. I really hate R&B, but they seem to be pretty decent.

[Enter Blue Guy]

I'm a closet R&B fan. I'd say you can't go wrong with anything by Jodeci (even a little bit of the brotherly splinter duo K-Ci and JoJo), Dru Hill, and Blackstreet. And no R&B collection is complete without a little Boyz II Men.

Yeah, EBG hit the nail on the head, some Boyz II Men for sure.

Brian McKnight is quite good.

I'd say John Legend, Dwele, Bilal, D'Angelo, Glenn Lewis, Musiq (Soulchild) & Raphael Saadiq aswell. I think these are all worthy of a listen. All very good R&B/Neo-Soul artists.

John Legend and Musiq are fantastic suggestions. Also, I haven't heard much from him, but Sleepy Brown has a solo record out that looks like it would be good listening.

[Buford Ripley]

Glad to see that I'm not the alone in being a Musiq Soulchild fan on EWB. As for suggestions give Van Hunt, Lathun and Raul Midon a listen, however, I doubt they'll be the kind of R&B that you're looking for.

John Legend and Musiq are fantastic suggestions.

Oh yea, I forgot about them too. They're def good.

[ROC]

Oh, kind of a different type of R&B, but M.I.A. is a solid girl group. They've got a pop-friendly sound and yet their sound is more diverse than most pop R&B (which might be why America barely paid attention to them ).

Van Hunts first album was brilliant but i didnt enjoy his second album(Into The Jungle Floor) as much.

Sleepy Brown's album 'Mr.Brown' is worth a listen but theres quite a bit of filler material on there.

Musiq Soulchild's last album 'Soulstar' was amazing.

Tyrese's new album 'Alter-Ego' has a rap and rnb side, the rnb side has about 4-5 really good songs. One of my fav rnb albums of all time was 'I Wanna Go There' which Tyrese realesed in 2003 thats worth checking out.

Any Donnel Jones album there all great, Journey Of A Gemini(His latest) is definatly my favorite.

Hope that helped!

Jon B is highly underrated, definatly give his stuff a try. You can't go wrong with Jagged Edge,112 and Donell Jones

If your looking for an individual songs, these are a few I advise you give a listen to:

Dazz Band - You are my starship.

Jon B - Lately

Jagged Edge - Stunnas

Van Hunt - Dust

112 feat P. Diddy and Mase - Only You(remix)

Dj Clue feat Jagged Edge & Fabolous - I really wanna know you

Luther Vandross - If Only For One Night
