That said, I believe there are many differences in R&B music from the 90’s/early 2000’s to the latter 2000’s to 2014 but I’ll discuss one – quality of content. Ne-Yo have concentrated their efforts on pleasing the pop crowd and are just now coming back to their R&B fan base. Also, artists who had started out strictly urban i.e. Rappers are singing (thanks to auto-tune) and singers are rapping, or at least trying to. To that end, several artists have weighed in on “the state of R&B” conversation in recent years, most of whom say there’s been a tremendous change in the music, namely, digression instead of progression.įor instance, the style has become diluted because nobody’s really singing from the soul now. There have been more than enough catchy radio hits but not enough songs that will stand the test of time. Sadly, though, the last decade (the mid 2000’s to now in 2014) has hardly produced R&B classics of that magnitude.

Drake samples Jodeci's "My Heart Belongs to You" on his latest release " How About Now," and last year he paid homage to the band with the track " Jodeci Back (Freestyle)" featuring J Cole. Jodeci's music continues to impact contemporary artists. Dalvin played a 1990s gig at London's Wembley Arena, along with other acts from the era: Blackstreet, Dru Hill, SWV, and Changing Faces.
