The answer is yes. Modern day Soul/R&B artists like Janelle Monae, Alicia Keys, Eryka Baduh, Eli Reid, Frank Ocean, Jamie Lindell, Jazmine Sullivan, Mayer Hawthorne, Nenah Cherry, Jose James, Nicolette, Raphael Saadiq, Sharon Jones, and Seal have added elements of jazz, trip-hop, dance music, rap music and rock, but their music remains within the framework of classic soul music.

Modern day soul music is radically different from the classic sounds of Stax & Motown of the Sixties and very different from funk & disco music of Seventies R&B music.
