专辑简介

"This Ain't R&B, Vol. 1" is a snapshot of Gary King's and Nate Barnes' musical collaboration in Los Angeles between 2004 and 2008. Firmly rooted in 80s and 90s R&B, the songs themselves represent an intentional movement back towards melody and a return to the importance of telling meaningful stories through song — all with catchy hooks and contemporary beats that make you bob your head. Torch songs. Hip-Hop. Funky horns. Piano ballads. Hints of New Jack. Thick harmonies for days. Heartbreak never sounded so sweet: It's R&B. And more. Soulful is as soulful does.
