The Quiet Storm: A Quick Look at the Forgotten Genre
For those that know me, know my love for R&B music is real.
I don’t event know how I got here, but learning that Quiet Storm is an actual genre was actually not a surprise to me. To me, R&B has essentially been about expressing the true feelings of love since the beginning of time.
I remember stations like WBLK playing some of the most melodic backdrop to late night drives and unforgettable VIBES.
This is one of the reasons why I started That Slow Jam Party - to being back the feeling that only The Quiet Storm can give.
