Intro

NewJackSwing

Originally called Swingbeat, New Jack Swing is the infusion of hip-hop beat-production techniques with the songwriting and sensual singing style of contemporary R&B. Producer and songwriter Teddy Riley is often credited as the founding force of the New Jack Swing sound (along with early Babyface & L.A. Reid).

Relationships
Parents	RAndB	Originally a marketing term for popular African-American music with a strong beat, R&B has since come to define a few specific styles that are perhaps as much sonic as racial categories. The term has several distinct associated sounds, depending on the era. In the early 50s, R&B described popular blues records, and in the mid-50s, the term came to denote gospel and soul music, as well as popular styles with elements of electric blues, acoustically similar to contemporary rock and roll (which itself grew out of early R&B). In the 70s, it largely referred to soul and funk, and in the 80s, the term began to refer to a sonic hybrid of earlier R&B, pop, soul, funk, rap, and electronic music. It has morphed and evolved while maintaining this hybrid identity to the present day, taking on newer production and performance styles as time passes.
