Swingbeat

Swingbeat is a hybrid musical style that combines elements of swing jazz, R&B, and hip-hop. The style was developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and is often associated with acts such as Bell Biv DeVoe, Boys II Men, Mary J. Blige, and SWV. Swingbeat is known for its smooth, soulful sound and its emphasis on vocal harmony. The style has been used in numerous hit songs, including the 1990s hits “Poison” by Bell Biv DeVoe and “Water Runs Dry” by Boys II Men.
