It's called baby making music for a reason. The sensual vocals, the heavy breathing all make R&B. But it's not only baby making music. It can be political like what Marvin Gaye did with "What's Going On" or Aretha Franklin track "Think". The versatility of R&B is never ending.
But the resurgence of R&B is desperately lacking that special feeling. The closest anyone has come being great is Amy Winehouse. Her personal life has been a tabloid favorite. But its her music that should be appreciated. Her song "Love Is A Losing Game" is lyrically magical. And "Back to Black" in my opinion was one of the best tracks of 2007.
The future for Amy Winehouse has been unclear for a while now. She is apparently is in a house surrounded by close friends and family trying to detox from drugs. But whatever the future holds for this diva, her footprint will be implanted in music history. As the fallen star or the greatest comeback in 00's.
