The alternative side of R&B is having an explosion right now!
The Weeknd is doing extremely well, and we are also loving Mykky Ekko, Joel Compass and Raleigh Ritchie.
Ritchie's gearing up for the release of his new album and has given us a taste of new music - which is even more on the alternative side! This is like some FKA twigs shiz. And we love her!
Check out the soulful and sinister You Make It Worse above!

You may remember Majid Jordan from Drake's hit Hold On, We're Going Home.
Well, the Canadian rapper is such a fan of this duo that he signed Jordan to his label, October's Very Own, and just released their first EP.
It is a superb collection of soulful pop that will make Justin Timberlake jealous!!!
Check out his cool and sexy lead single, A Place Like This, above!

2013 has been such an exciting year for R&B!
The genre is thriving with new artists who are creating exceptional music and pushing the boundaries of what the sound of rhythm and blues is like these days!
One of these great new musicians is Kesington Kross, who - to us - is like the American counterpart to Joel Compass.
This is taking off where Frank Ocean left and going for a sexy jog! Moving it forward - sensually!
And making a statement!
Check out Redemption above!
