origin-blues
r&; The predecessor of B appeared in the black area of America in the 194s.
At that time, not many people could afford colorful entertainment. Black people who loved music liked to gather in the streets after dinner to play music with simple instruments such as harmonica and express their feelings about life, work and leaving their hometown. This developed the blues-R & The predecessor of B.
With the invention of audio tapes and the emergence of more and more small radio stations, blues music began to jump out of the black circle and became popular in Chicago. I don't know if it's because blues music has been talked for too long, and fans are eager to hear blues songs with strong rhythm, bright rhythm and not too sad content.
In line with the change of public tastes, musicians added piano, drums, color style and the ultra-new technology at that time-electronic guitar to their works, so that the audience could dance to this new school of Blues music with strong Rhythm, thus achieving a classic "rhythm complaint song".
fresh sense of rhythm
the important R& B musicians include Ray Charles, Ruth Brown and The Drifters. After listening to their classic works, we will find R&; B Music, such as Jay Chou and Utada, is very different. But as far as musical elements are concerned, they still have many similarities. The most prominent part is the rhythm part.
most of the r&; B works take 4 beats as a section and 12 sections as a paragraph. Different from the traditional white pop music, the rhythm complaint emphasizes the second and fourth beats in a section, which is a very fresh rhythm effect.
the sound quality changes a lot
no matter the timbre of singing or musical instruments, there will be great changes.
sound quality is the "texture" of sound. When we hear "Mud", we will feel that Xu Zhian sings very sadly; The sound of the wooden boy flute often gives us a very lively feeling. This is the effect of the sound quality of different songs and instruments.
in r&; In B's works, such as Jay Chou's "Bullfighting" or "The Lady", we can easily find that the opening paragraph and the chorus are obviously treated differently in terms of music or voice.
The singing and instrumental parts often echo each other-in R&; In song B, when the singer sings certain sounds, the music part or the chorus singer will play/sing those sounds repeatedly, like "asking questions and answering questions" or making it sound like an echo.
R& B Another feature is that some phrases and sentences are repeated many times. Just like the continuous "I don't, I don't, I don't" in Tornado, it is an obvious example.
