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

With their second album, Writing’s on the Wall, Destiny’s Child still suffers from slightly uneven songwriting, but it’s nevertheless an assured step forward for the girl group. Not only are they maturing as vocalists, they are fortunate to work with such skilled, talented producers as Kevin “Shekspere” Biggs, Rodney Jerkins, Dwayne Wiggins, Chad Elliot, Daryl Simmons, and Missy Elliott, who all give the quartet rich, varied music upon which to work their charm. So, even when the album fails to deliver memorable songs, it always sounds alluring, thanks to the perfect combination of vocalists and producers. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
