Rolling Stones' 100 Greatest R&B Songs of the 21st Century created lots of buzz since it came out on January 3rd 2024. Some people loved it, others pointed out what was missing, and the artists featured in it, celebrated. But as we know, music is a very personal thing, and what one person likes is not necessarily the other person's favourite.
I have always been a huge fan of R&B, the classic and contemporary one.
What is not to like about it? Soulful voices with funky, contagious beats that can bring out a plethora of emotions, comforting, happy and nostalgic. And growing up in the 90s, the golden era of contemporary R&B when we saw this genre being combined with hip-hop, pop, soul and electronic music, it was impossible to miss it. That genre expansion brought the most amazing iconic songs and chart-topping hits. The trend continued in the 21st century, especially in the first decade.
So I decided to create my own list and share it with you tonight. While I was inspired by Rolling Stones' list, I looked into my personal favourites, the songs that I am still listening to even if they came out more than two decades ago. Putting this list together was like walking down the memory lane, most of these songs reminded me of the past times, boyfriends, lovers, and fun times with friends.
There were so many songs, that I am breaking this show into two, both having almost 40 tracks of the pure R&B pleasure.
