Ode to R&B
One of the loves of my life is music. No matter the occasion, it was always there. Growing up I listened to all genres of music but R&B always stole my heart.
Every song that I loved, made me feel something deeper than a beat or lyric. They helped me through happy and difficult times.
R&B is one of those genres that just gives you the feels. Heartbreak versus in love, there was a song to match every mood.
We all have that one playlist that puts us in our feelings, one that brings us back to our first love, first kiss, first lust, or first sexual experience and tearful end of relationships.
Aaliyah had us women writing 4 page letters, Adina Howard had us women in our t-shirt and panties, Ginuwine showed us the differences. 112 had us on cloud 9 with Cupid. K-ci and Jojo,Jagged Edge, Brain Mcknight had us ready to walk down the aisle. Boyz II Men had our hearts with every ballad. Mariah Carey had us feeling emotions.
R&B has changed over the years but what has remained the same is the message that is conveyed and the emotions that we feel every time we hear our favorite love song.
What's your favorite R&B song?
