The American star talks about the route that the genre has gone…

Our urban music blog Omarion recently and he went on to share his thoughts on the R&B has gone with all the electro/pop influences etc.

The singer doesn’t mind, but he classes real R&B as the type of music that the late Luther Vandrossmade back in the day.

He said: “I think there are a lot of subcultures in R&B right now. I kind of stand with what I was saying before, there are really no boundaries. But you know, I really don’t look at R&B like it’s R&B, because the real R&B I would say, is like Luther Vandross.
