Top Soul and R&B

By eMusic Editorial Staff, eMusic Contributor

R&B is such an overwhelming genre. It lies at the heart of rock 'n 'roll and is somehow separate. It burns brighter, but can go dark. It shimmers and whinnies and roars. It's the sound of struggle and revolution, but also love and charity. Here is more than half a decade of an ever-changing and original American art form. Investigate for yourself. more »

They Say All Music Guide

Aaliyah has a pleasant voice, but the real reason the teenager’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number, was a hit is the radio-ready production courtesy of R. Kelly, her then-husband. Kelly wraps Aaliyah’s voice in layers of lush synths and deep grooves, while adding songs that are frequently better than the ones on his own album, 12 Play. Age may have its share of filler, but its singles are slyly seductive. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
