Nowadays my favourite style of music is the R&B but also I like other types of music like pop-rock,dance or house. The R&B (Rhythm and blues) is a popular music genre combining jazz, gospel, and blues influences and first performed by African American artists.The R&B was one of the predecessors to rock and roll. Whitney Houston or Stevie Wonder are examples of this genre of music but I like the new R&B that sometimes is combined with hip-hop.Some examples of this new R&B are Usher,Beyoncé,Akon,Cassie,Rihanna,JoJo and now Justin Timberlake too. Of all those singers my favorites are Rihanna and Justin Timberlake. Rihanna was born on the Caribbean island of Barbados in 1988.She started to sing at the age of 15 and her first album was Music of the Sun that was released in 2005.She became popular with her first single called “ Pon de Replay”. Her second album called A Girl Like me has been released this year and the first single “S.O.S” has a lot of success.Also there’re some great songs in this album like “Unfaithful”, ”We Ride” or “Break It Off” featuring Sean Paul. media type="youtube" key="WxjXgLkL5go" Justin Timberlake was born in Memphis in 1981 and he became popular in the boy band *N Sync.When he was 5 years-old, he worked with Christina Aguilera,Britney Spears and other childrens in a TV programme called The Mickey Mouse Club. His first solo album was Justified and his first single was “Cry Me a River”.He won two GrammyAwards and the album was also a success but nowadays his new album FutureSex/LoveSounds was having a lot of success. My favourite song of the album is “My love” and I like very much the videoclip. media type="youtube" key="ahGdq3Qs6v8"
