We don't we really use R n' B as a term to classify music over here. All of that stuff gets filed under Urban which is a f***ing stupid name because the Velvet Underground were about as urbanised as you can get (they were from New York for christs sake!) yet theyre in the rock/pop section.

You never Dock Boggs and Woody Guthrie filed under the Rural section do you?

Id call it contemporary soul but I don't think theres much soul in a lot of it so its a misnomer.
