Franglish R&B

Franglish R&B, also known as “R&B Franglais” (French) a sub-genre of Rhythm and Blues music originating from the Franglish speaking communities such as France and Canada, and certain part of Africa, sung and performed by Franglish Speaking Artist either over live instrumentals and, or backing tracks.

Typical instruments are:

Modern synthesizer,, Drum machine, Microphone, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Backing track, DAW, Sampler, Loops, Drums kits, Electric Guitar, Bass guitar, Talk box, piano Piano/Keyboard/Keytar, KeyBass, Hooks/ Lyrical melodies and Harmonies, Lead Vocals, Backing Vocals, Ostinatos, Melisma and Rap-singing.

Just like Contemporary R&b music , most Franglish R&B artists often focus on melodies and catchy hooks, and chorus that contrasts melodically, rhythmically and harmonically with the verse.

Often the lyrics of Franglish R&B songs typically focus on love and romantic relationships

A notable label of this kind of Franglish R&B is Negre Marron Records which was founded in New York City 2018 by René Guemps.
Her new Franglish R&B Single, just went platinum.

Flinglish

A Flinglish is the combining of the words 'Full' and 'English'.
This is often used when you are so drunk that your ability to seperate these two words becomes non existant.
