Description
A mellow, romantic strain of R&B, Quiet Storm is soft, smooth and adult-oriented. Named after Smokey Robinson's 1975 album A Quiet Storm, artists in this style focus on soul ballads cushioned by radio-friendly strings and gentle percussion. When Soul and R&B merged with hip-hop in the late '80s, Quiet Storm artists were relegated to Adult Contemporary radio.
