10.05. NEW JACK SWING AND ELECTRO HOP

New jack swing or swingbeat is a fusion genre which became extremely popular from the late-1980s into the mid-1990s. The term \"new jack swing\" describes the sound produced and engineered by R&B/Hip hop artist and producer Teddy Riley. The new jack swing style developed as many previous music styles did, by combining elements of older styles with newer sensibilities. It used R&B style vocals sung over hip hop and dance-pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of new jack swing comes from the hip hop \"swing\" beats created by drum machine, and hardware samplers, which was popular during the golden age of hip hop, with contemporary R&B style singing.
