The brilliance of R&B’s revival in recent years lies in the variety that has come along with it.

For, as Trey Songz and Willie Taylor succeed in peddling the ‘grown and sexy’, the likes of Frank Ocean continue to carve out more personal lanes, breathing life into the genre with messages and melodies that transcend genre for the first time in a long time.

Your thoughts?

As recent Hip Hop wins have shown, using the Hot 100 to determine how well a song is not always a good idea.

For, while some cuts may not sell enough week by week to score or hold Top Ten spots, they do sell enough to give the acts and labels behind much to smile about.

Alesha Dixon is opening up on what many would agree is a sensitive issue.

As one of the many driving forces behind Urban music’s mainstream notoriety in the late 90s/early noughties, the success she enjoyed as one third of Mis-Teeq went a long way to alter the perception the British media had of women of color.
