Times Insider features Adam Bradley, an R&B enthusiast and academic, reflecting on the genre's evolution and its contemporary female artists. Having listened to R&B for decades, he shares his thoughts in a new multimedia project conceived with T Magazine editor Kurt Soller. The resulting article discusses R&B's history and highlights the contributions of modern artists who are shaping its future. Bradley's extensive knowledge and passion for the genre underscore the significance of women in leading the current R&B renaissance.
I've spent 40-plus years saturated in these sounds, and no one's really asked me to reflect on my thinking on it until now.
The new R&B era is here, with women artists leading the way.
Turn off all that screaming," Mr. Bradley said in an interview, recalling his grandmother's disapproval of his early love for R&B.
Mr. Soller had been interested in thinking about the next generation of R&B musicians, and wanted to brainstorm a multimedia project around the topic.
