Genre research

Genre Research



This is our genre research from our main artist Angel whose genre is R&B, POP, GRIME.

R&B

Rhythm and blues, often abbreviated to R&B and RnB, is a genre of popular African-American music that originated in the 1940s. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular.

POP

As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks. pop features all these elements, utilising electric guitars, drums and bass for instrumentation

GRIME

Grime is typified by complex 2-step, 4X4, breakbeats, generally around 140 beats per minute, or sometimes structured around a halftime rhythm, and constructed from different synth, string and electronic sounds.[2] Stylistically, grime draws on many genres including UK garage, British hip hop and dancehall.[6] The lyrics and music combine futuristic electronic elements and dark, guttural bass lines
