New York R&B Artists
List of Top New York R&B Singers
In the shadows of a genre that was birthed in the city, while rappers from the NYC have always received more shine and have been placed in a bigger spotlight, New York R&B artists have been making an impact in music for generations.
The city of New York, especially with places like Harlem, has always been a mecca for black entertainment and black music, from the days of jazz and blues to the era of the doo wop to the days of soul music during the 1970s. But since the rise of modern-day rhythm and blues, New York R&B singers have become game changers in music.
A city that is the home of numerous R&B stars has for long been making an impact from the Bronx and Yonkers, with artists like Guy, Mary J Blige, and Al B. Sure, to Harlem and Manhattan, with artists like Alicia Keys, Keith Sweat, Teddy Riley, and even Luther Vandross, to artists of Brooklyn, with Maxwell and Aaliyah, or even as far as Long Island with Ashanti and Mariah Carey.
As we enter today’s generation, stars like Teyana Taylor, who originally made her rounds choreographing before jumping into music, has become one of the most notable faces and of one R&B’s most talented and gifted artists while being at the forefront of New York’s R&B scene despite her recent announcement of retirement. Another artist, Justine Skye, who was arguably one of the 2010s top rising rhythm and blues artists, the Brooklyn native has continued her rise in music by solidifying herself as not only one of the top New York R&B artists, but one of the top female R&B singers of today’s generation.
In a music scene with the inventiveness of artists like rapper and singer SAINt JHN, the combination of unique artistry and peaceful and soulful sounds through artists like Raveena and Lion Babe, the versatility of artists switching between genres from rap to rhythm and blues like Melii, the versatility of artists that display their talent through multiple mediums, like actors and singers Leon Thomas and Mack Wilds, or just a roster consisting of naturally gifted singers like Rileyy Lanez and Alex Mali, New York R&B singers have the most diverse range of talent.
