Nu soul
Nu soul is a musical genre that fuses R&B, 1970s style soul and hip hop. It is usually said to begun in the late 1980s with New Jack Swing artists like Guy and, later, Boyz II Men. The originator of proper nu soul is Mary J. Blige, who's 1992 debut What's the 411? has proven enormously influential. In the mid-1990s, artists like D'Angelo (Brown Sugar), Lauryn Hill (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu (Baduizm) made the genre a critical success, with moderate to occasionally blockbuster commercial success. Soon after the turn of the millennium, artists like Alicia Keys (Songs in A Minor) further popularized the sound, to some critical disdain.
