Rhythym and Blues often abbreviated to R&B, is a genre often associated with African American music and has been around since the 1940's. The term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular. The term has changed alot since then however, by the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for soul and funk. In the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as contemporary R&B and this is where our song Strange by JLS comes in. JLS are known for their love R&B songs and the song we chose is simply another one of the classic JLS songs.
