#SaveRnB : The Mixtape, The Motive, The Mission!

“Save RnB isn’t just a mixtape, it’s a mission”

 

The world is full of hip hop, pop, rock, etc. and over the past years, I feel like R&B music has fallen off the radar. Not because there’s no great R&B artists left, but because so many have transformed into what the industry wants them to be and the trends.

 

R&B is timeless. R&B is heartfelt, it’s raw, it’s emotional—you can play that one old R&B song that made you feel amazing “back in the day” and I guarantee you that joy would return if you played it today. But nowadays all the new releases consist of ‘twerking and bottle popping’. Now I’m all for a good twerking session occasionally but these song expire about 2 months after the radio gets a hold of them. Simply because you get tired of it, and there’s no attachment because you didn’t emotionally connect with that song, you just liked dancing to it.

 

R&B was that glue. It kept people hooked because we will forever have feelings. Whether we’re in love, out of love, depressed, happy…whatever it may be, we feel it.

#SaveRnB is a mission to keep R&B music alive. To incorporate the old school with the new school, to FEEL it again, to make people want to dedicate songs to one another again, to unite R&B singers instead of forcing them to compete, to make people sing along, smile, cry, love, make love… Save the love, Save RnB!
