I wasn’t listening to R&B in my preteen years I was only listening to rap. But last year when I was 16 I started to dig more into R&B
Welcome to the family. Who did you listen too first?
The first R&B song I got into was Because Of You by Ne-Yo when I was 13, but I started to dig more into R&B last year when I listened to Jeremih’s self-titled album
That’s a good place to start Jeremih has a decent catalog imo
