Conventions Of Genre - By Bradley

The genre we have used is in between urban soul and rock. I say this because i feel that the song "heartbeat" begins slow and then midway of the song the bass of the beat then kicks in. Our song inflicts aspects of rock as it is remixed by chase and status. The genre rock is known for its heavy, over the top bass and instruments; in our video we hear this more towards midway of the song. Over the years Rock has changed it has gone from progressive rock to glam rock to soft, hard and heavy metal rock Our song lies between soft and progressive rock as it dose not have the profound bass of the instruments from the beginning. The urban side of the music comes from whats know as music that is radio fromat. The term was coined by the late New York DJ Frankie Crocker in the mid 1970s. Urban contemporary radio stations feature a play list made up entirely of hip/hop, rap, contemporary R&B, more urban-styled pop. Urban contemporary was developed through the characteristics of genres such as R&B and soul. Our artist Nneka herself is listed as a R&B, souland hip/hop singer.
