At the moment, it is trendy to proclaim that R&B has died and there is a lack of talent within the genre. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Within the last year, artists like Syd, Lucky Daye, Ari Lennox, Alex Vaughn and many others have delivered impactful R&B projects. Not to mention, acts like India Shawn, Giveon Kehlani, Summer Walker and several others have been on tour and selling out venues. Not to mention, SZA just went on a run of sold-out shows and topped the Billboard 200 chart for two months straight. With all of that said, one of the brightest stars in today’s generation of R&B is ready to put an end to this discussion forever.
“Not gone lie, I got some fire records dropping this year lol and I’m excited for y’all to hear them all. My goal is to stop the R&B slander and show that there are Artists today who can still make the R&B we love. We been doing that,” Kenyon Dixon tweeted on March 22.
“And I completely understand that the feeling is different when it’s authentic. When the music is coming from a genuine place and you really like that, they know.”
After touring the country last year, Kenyon Dixon is ready to return with new music. Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer and indie R&B artist Kincy, he has delivered his highly-anticipated single, “Slow Dancing.” Check out the full track below and get ready for new music from the soulful singer-songwriter in the future.
