Comment:

The '90s was the decade when R&B opened up the window on a whole new world of possibilities, blending with elements of hip-hop, rock, and pop, and branching out in ways no one could've predicted, from the jolt and jump of New Jack Swing acts like Bell Biv Devoe to the eclectic, sassy sounds of Lauryn Hill and beyond. It was also the era when R&B really ascended to not just join, but also dominate the mainstream of American music. So how can you zero in on the all the crucial cuts from this vital era in R&B history? Simple — just tap into the towering stack of '90s R&B Essentials we've assembled for you right here, encompassing everything from His Royal Purpleness himself, Prince, to soul explorer Maxwell, R&B empress Erykah Badu and much, much more.
