A thought about R&B music

Since I have studied classical music for so many years, I have to say I like it the most. However, beside classical music, the genre which I particularly enjoy is R&B. R&B is a music genre that combines elements of hip hop, dance, and pop music. It originates from traditional rhythm and blues music, today the term R&B is most often used to describe a style of African American music. The reason why I do like R&B music is that it is about soul, and most songs are around heartbreak,love, and life. Although it seems R&B music is all about sad or gloomy, the rhythm of R&B music is extremely relax. None like rap, most people like to relate R&B to rap music, they are actually different. Sometimes rap songs have no thought in lyrics, singers just wanna make them rhymed. Compare with R&B music, it has a lot of thought about life and love. And what is more of making the R&B music interested is that some R&B songs are improvised. The singers just sing what they are thinking in that moment. This is really cool!!
