R&B BPM — Typical Tempo Range

R&B generally falls between 60 and 100 BPM, creating a smooth, sensual groove. Modern R&B has expanded its tempo range, but the core of the genre remains in slower, emotionally expressive tempos.

• Smooth, groove-oriented rhythms
• Emphasis on vocal performance and melody
• Lush harmonies and chord progressions
• Influence from soul, funk, and hip-hop
