Usher Says R&B Is NOT DEAD

Usher has addressed music followers who declare that R&B music is useless.

In an interview with Billboard, he says the style may be very a lot alive.

“I’m very happy that there’s a new installation of R&B artists who care to be authentic to what they are creating, inspired by artists of the past. Everybody who has ever said to me that R&B is dead sounds crazy. Especially when I know the origins of R&B are in all other genres of music. It’s about creating commerce in other spaces,” stated Usher.

“I am taking part in the #SuperBowl, man.” 👏

Usher’s profession revived in spectacular trend after his viral Vegas residency. The singer can even be performing on the Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present this month.

He continued, “I never felt like R&B was dying. I think it just needs expansion. We’re moving toward a standard where people are looking at snippets — TikTok, Instagram and other things — and when fans get it, they take it and do something with it. But if we start to think of it that way and create from that place, the standards for R&B will change.”

Y’all agree?
