Description of alternative rnb music
Alternative R&B, also known as alt-R&B or PBR&B (short for "Pabst Blue Ribbon R&B"), is a subgenre of contemporary R&B that emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Alternative R&B artists often incorporate elements of electronic music, hip hop, indie rock, and soul into their music, creating a sound that is often more experimental and boundary-pushing than traditional R&B.
Musically, alternative R&B often features atmospheric production, ethereal vocals, and unconventional song structures. Lyrics often explore themes of love, relationships, and personal growth, and may include more introspective and poetic elements than traditional R&B.
Some of the most well-known and influential alternative R&B artists include Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, FKA Twigs, Blood Orange, and Solange, among others. The genre has also influenced a range of other artists and genres, including pop, hip-hop, and electronic music.
Alternative R&B continues to evolve and push boundaries, with many contemporary artists incorporating its sound and style into their music.
