Описание
The Correspondents – представители лощеного лондонского стиля, причисляющие себя к весьма обаятельному жанру электро-свинга. Это направление многие рассматривают как модное поветрие, развлечение для подросших законодателей рейвов нулевых, а ныне адаптирующих различные проявления ретро-стиля околовоенной эпохи — от preppy до цыганского шика и бурлеска.
Самый заметный идеолог жанра — фронтмен The Correspondents, именующий себя Mr. Bruce - коренной житель Лондона, появляется на публике во фраке и маджентовых лосинах, с моноклем в руке, то и дело сетуя на то, что «СоХо стал уже не тот». Mr. Chucks — коллега Мистера Брюса по The Correspondents, ответственный за музыкальную часть, записывал хаус-музыку на протяжении последних десяти лет. Фанат джаза, он утверждает, что свинг для своего времени был тем же самым, что хаус сейчас — похожий по скорости, он был создан для энергичных танцев в клубах, а потому идеально сочетается с современной танцевальной музыкой.
Источником вдохновения для «корреспондентов» служит Нью-Йорк времен Великой Депрессии, богемный Париж 30-х годов, Лондон после королевы Виктории. Они изобретают ироничную смесь электронной музыки и забытых на грамофонных пластинках ритмов. Они семплируют голоса икон джаза вроде Пегги Ли, свинговые оркестры 30х, смешивая это со всем, что попадается под руку — хаус, электро, блюз, хип-хоп, drum’n’bass.
Эта парочка заработала себе репутацию одних из самых эксцентричных артистов Британии!

R&B
Contemporary R&B is a genre of American popular music, the current iteration of the genre that began in the 1940s as rhythm and blues music. Although the acronym R&B originates from its association with traditional rhythm and blues music, the term R&B is today most often used to define a style of African American music originating after the demise of disco in the 1980s. This newer style, often described as contemporary R&B, combines elements of soul, funk, pop, and, from 1986 on, hip hop.
The abbreviation R&B is almost always used instead of the full rhythm and blues term, although some sources refer to the style as urban contemporary (the name of the radio format that plays hip hop and contemporary R&B) or urban pop.
Contemporary R&B has a slick, electronic record production style, drum machine-backed rhythms, and a smooth, lush style of vocal arrangement. Uses of hip hop-inspired beats are typical, although the roughness and grit inherent in hip hop is usually reduced and smoothed out.
ROCK
Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll), is a genre of music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and became popular in the early 1950s, and quickly spread to the rest of the world. It later spawned the various sub-genres of what is now called simply 'rock', usually accompanied by lyrics. The beat is basically a boogie woogie blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum. Classic rock and roll is played with one electric guitar or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. Keyboards are a common addition to the mix. In the rock and roll style of the early 1950s, the saxophone was often the lead instrument, replaced by guitar in the mid 1950s. In the earliest form of rock and roll, during the late 1940s, the piano was the lead instrument, and indeed, among the roots of rock and roll is the boogie woogie piano of the big-band era that dominated American music in the 1940s.
The massive popularity and eventual worldwide scope of rock and roll gave it an unprecedented social impact. Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. Many of its early stars, notably Elvis Presley, built movie and/or television careers around their music.
The term rock and roll, which was black slang for dancing or sex, appeared on record for the first time in 1922 on Trixie Smith's My Baby Rocks Me With One Steady Roll. The word rock had a long history in the English language as a metaphor for to shake up, to disturb or to incite. The verb Roll was a medieval metaphor which meant having sex. Writers for hundreds of years have used the phrases They had a roll in the hay or I rolled her in the clover.
