R&B is slowly dying

Started from the 1940’s as an African American urban sound that evolved from blues and jazz. It became popular because of its insistent beat that causes you to dance. In the nineties R&B was a hit, with young teenagers and adults making one hit wonders. There would be tons of artists collaborating with others and ending up forming a group, like New Edition, Earth, Wind, & Fire, Boyz II Men, Blackstreet, etc. But started falling off as we reached the 21st century. Now there are hardly any new R&B singers or groups, just mainstream ones. Waiting from days, to weeks, to months, and maybe even years until their favorite artist drops another album.
