The Best of Late-‘90s and '00s R&B

MAYBE I have covered this…

a while back, but I have been listening to a lot to R&B from the end of the 1990s and into the '00s. Most from the early part of that decade. It is a sound that we do not really have now. Rather than this being a nostalgia blast, it is instead a look back at a period of music where we got the most amazing R&B. Some of the tightest, sexiest, catchiest and smooth jams. A really exciting alternative to a lot of the more commercial and huge Pop and other genre that were around then. I think there are some artists today who nod back to it but, as that R&B flavour of the end of the 1990s and the 2000s was so rich and has endured to this day, more artists should incorporate more. Perhaps there will be a revival or updating of that sound. In any case, going back twenty-five years or so, I have combined some terrific R&B slices from the late-'90s/'00s. Maybe I have left out some obvious ones so, if there should be a song in there missing then let me know. I hope that this 2000s R&B mix gives you…
A real lift.
