Description:

R&B disc guide "Introduction to New R&B," published in August 2015 by Space Shower Books, is a joint effort by R&B specialists and music journalists Tsuyoshi Hayashi and Osamu Sho to introduce black music from the late 90s to the present day with a new perspective centered on "D'Angelo" to great acclaim. The two have been very successful in introducing black music from the late 90's to the present day, with "D'Angelo" as the core. This compilation CD, selected by these two musicians, offers a taste of the world of Disc Guide, including contemporary organic R&B and neo-soul, with a focus on D'Angelo. The CD will be co-produced and licensed in cooperation with Sony Music, and will include tracks from a wide range of artists. Liner notes will also be written by Hayashi and Chuang. Newly written for this album. Includes lyrics.
