that is very popular in our generation and what most teenagers cannot live without is
5 Underrated R&B Artists That Everyone Should Listen To

the beautiful thing called music. Throughout each decade there have been artists that have
captured our hearts (and ears) the most, such as The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston,
the queen Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Kanye West and many others. But while these artists were
and have been selling out arenas worldwide, there are many excellent new and upcoming artists
that do not get as much notoriety. Here is a list of 5 underrated people that everyone should listen
to at least once.

1. Sabrina Claudio
To all of you "SoundCloud rappers" out there, this artist is an example to not give up! If you are into
slow, sensual music, she is de nitely the one to listen to. Sabrina Claudio got her start on
SoundCloud in 2016 where she started to get a lot of recognition which then lead to her releasing
her EP Con dently Lost which is possibly one of the most beautiful things that I have ever listened
to. (Can you tell that she's my favorite?) She has also released quite a few singles and a mixtape,
About Time, which of course did not disappoint. Sabrina just released two singles Don't Let Me
Down ft. Khalid and All to You that have both been on repeat in my playlist.

2. Daniel Caesar
Daniel Caesar, real name Ashton Simmons, is another one of my favorites and is actually an up
and coming artist. In my opinion, he could be considered the male version of Sabrina Claudio

(which may be the reason that I adore him so much). Caesar rst released his EP in 2014 titled
Praise Break followed by another EP in 2015 titled Pilgrim's Paradise. He has also released many

that have gained him a lot of recognition such as Get You ft. Kali Uchis, We Found Love,

and Japanese Denim. In late 2017, he released his debut album Freudian which I think is very
worthy of listening to.

3. H.E.R
H.E.R., also known as Gabi Wilson, is a new artist that I am just starting to listen to but am quickly
falling in love with. The name H.E.R. has been revealed as an acronym for "Having Everything
Revealed" which her identity was just recently revealed after being mysterious, hiding what she
looks like. She has been featured on a song with Daniel Caesar, Best Part, which is even more of a
reason to listen to her. But this R&B queen has singles of her own along with two EPs H.E.R.
Volume 1 and Volume 2, and an album titled H.E.R. She is de nitely an artist to keep an eye on
because she is making her rise to fame.

4. Jessie Reyez
This beauty has released songs that are super relatable and have had me singing as I'm ripping up
some pictures after a breakup (who hasn't been there before?). Jessie Reyez is starting her growth
as an artist with an EP Kiddo, and her singles Figures (the song I was referencing above), Cotton
Candy, and Phone Calls. She has also been featured on other artists' songs such as Hard to Love
by Calvin Harris and has even been nominated for some awards for iHeartRadio.

5. SiR
And last but certainly not least, SiR is another R&B artist that is starting to gain some fame. He
released two mixtapes Wooden Voodoo and Long Live Dilla back in 2012 and 2014, but really
gained attention when he released his album Seven Sundays in 2015 and an EP HER in 2016
followed by HER TOO in 2017. He continued to spark my interest this year with his mesmerizing
album November that I have not stopped listening to.

I always think it is important to support any artist for putting their work out for the world to judge,
but these were a couple of my personal favorites that I hope you take the time to listen to.
