Inspired by 90s RnB and facilitated by modern technology, a new generation of musicians are currently reinventing the world of RnB.

She also aims to discover why 90s RnB from the likes of Mariah, D’Angelo and Aaliyah has proved so influential to a generation of musicians often too young to remember the music first time around.
