Surprisingly, the music scene based around UK R&B artists have created a true machine of inspiring and motivating rhythm and blues artists, from Ella Mai to Jorja Smith to Mahalia, there is no shortage of talented British female R&B singers. With the U.K. already handing the world legendary singers like Sade, Seal, and Amy Winehouse, among others within the rhythm and blues and neo soul genres, one can see how the U.K. has produced countless of gifted R&B artists.
Being the home of iconic rock and pop stars from oldies like The Beatles, Sting, Spice Girls, Elton John, to more modern-day stars like Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Rita Ora, UK R&B artists have always taken a backseat to the more popular genres. As the world’s music industry is growing, and black and more urban culture is becoming more popularized and marketed to much wider audiences, British R&B artists are slowly on the verge to become leaders of music within the U.K.
Diversity has also played a major a role in the growth and expansion of rhythm and blues as England, primarily the city of London, consists of cultures and traditions from all over the world. Within the local R&B scene one will find British R&B artists, Afrobeat artists, Reggae artists, and Neo Soul artists, all contributing to one of the world’s greatest R&B music scenes, being only second to the United States.
It is easy for the U.K. to be a leader in the genre when you have British female R&B singers like Ella Mai, who dominated music for an entire year with her hit single “Boo’d Up,” and Jorja Smith, who began around 2015 and has debuted twice at the number one position on the UK R&B charts. Becoming the mecca of the neo soul sound that has been displayed through artists like Lianne La Havas, Joy Crookes, and Cleo Soul.
