Over a mix of eclectic sounds, Prince free flows, raps, sings, and gathers the world's premier voices and musicians for this album. Listening to this album requires a bit more careful ear, as the finer points are in Prince's attention to detail and technical excellence, as well as spiritual vibrance. Drawing from a wide spectrum of styles, ranges, and eras, Art Official Age, which is the artist's 33rd studio album, reflects a virtuoso creating from the highest sources of energy. Prince is one of the most influential artists of the last 50 years. Even the best rappers wish they could sing like their favorite R&B heroes at one time or another. Â When we are gathered around the Holiday table for Christmas Dinner or whatever you find yourself celebrating, it's the R&B that more often gets played for the entire family, and when we are in are most intimate moments it's easy to wish we could sing like Trigga, Breezy, flow like D'Angelo, or swag it out like Prince. Despite critics debating if there is still any "true" R&B being produced, given the synthesis of Hip-Hop & R&B especially (but also the fusion of R&B with Pop, Dance, Electronic, and Soul music), today's R&B is still serving a vital purpose in the global music ecosystem. Many of the artists and projects on the list fit the crossover space that's Hip-Hop stylistically, even if the records are presented in ballad or slow jam form. Â Nowadays, Hip-Hop culture permeates R&B records, and the music is generally more raw, rugged, and edgy- however, it is still important to all of our lives and ears. The fact is, today's R&B is a bit different than our parent's R&B. If not for R&B, that first crush, love, kiss, or more might be that much less special. R&B will always hold a special place in our hearts. These were our favorite R&B projects of the year.
