This year we're seeing several movements in R&B. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men are continuing their streaks from previous years, while groups like TLC are reaching their commercial peaks (if only their treatment from the label reflected that). Seal, a London-based artist who previously worked with funk, blues, and acid house, would cross over to both The States and the Billboard Hot 100 with the soul single Kiss from a Rose. 1995 also marks the debut of fourteen-year-old Monica, who would become one of the defining R&B artists of the decade.

Rap is also having its moment in mainstream pop culture. I talked briefly about the rise of G-funk and reality rap a few polls ago. Here, we're seeing more of that rise with the late Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise. We're also starting to see rap and R&B start to mix together. Nowadays, the blending of the two genres is incredibly common. New jack swing already helped to bridge the gap between the styles. But with artists like Montell Jordan providing both R&B vocals and hip-hop flow, to Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' rap verses with TLC, to Gangsta's Paradise soul cover in the chorus, this blend is starting to become much more common. The Stevie Wonder sample in Gangsta's Paradise is notable for another reason. While hip-hop was built on the art of sampling, this specific style of vocal sampling would grow in popularity this decade, most notably from the work of Bad Boy Records and Sean Combs (F.K.A. Puff Daddy/[P.] Diddy). While controversial at the time, we will continue to see songs exemplifying this shift in the mainstream rap sound -- especially in the decades to come.

Lyrics:

One more time, let's do it again

Show no shame, just call my name

One more time, again and again

Don't you want to play my game?

Twenty to seven

I will make you feel like heaven

I turn you upside down

I spin you round and round

I put a spell on you baby

I will make you come and play me

I'm gonna make you mine

Let's do it one more time

You spin me round and round and turn me upside down

You put a spell on me and hit me to the feeling

One more time, let's do it again

Show no shame, just call my name

One more time, again and again

Don't you want to play my game?

Play me, play me baby

Play me, show me what you got

Come play me, play me baby,

Play me, don't stop don't stop

Do it, just do it, let's do it again and again

Keep it going on, show no shame

Come and play the game

How did I know that I would do this to you?

Now that I've made you mine

Let's do it one more time

You spin me round and round and turn me upside down

You put a spell on me and hit me to the feeling

One more time, let's do it again

Show no shame, just call my name

One more time, again and again

Don't you want to play my game?

Play me, play me baby

Play me, show me what you got

Come play me, play me baby,

Play me, don't stop don't stop

You spin me round and round and turn me upside down

You put a spell on me and hit me to the feeling

Lyrics:

Love and devotion, baby I can't get enough

Of all that love and devotion in my life

Love and devotion, baby love and devotion

You are the sunshine of my life

When a man loves a woman, a woman loves a man

Love and devotion gotta keep it if you can

A kiss, a smile, even when you cry

Everybody knows it we need it once awhile

So come on come on, you gotta keep it if you can

Love and devotion is the master plan

I'm talking about I'm talking about a wonderful emotion

I'm talking about a game called love and devotion

Tonight is the night

When love shines so bright

And we will be reunited

Love and devotion, baby I can't get enough

Of all that love and devotion in my life

Love and devotion, baby love and devotion

You are the sunshine of my life

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I want you baby

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I need you baby

Sweet little dreams as you can see

Easy come easy go but not for me

One life one love one family

Together forever in unity

So come on come on

You gotta keep it if you can

Love and devotion is the master plan

I'm talking about a wonderful untouchable emotion

I'm talking about guess, right

Love and devotion

Tonight is the night

Then love shines so bright

And we will be reunited

Love and devotion, baby I can't get enough

Of all that love and devotion in my life

Love and devotion, baby love and devotion

You are the sunshine of my life

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I want you baby

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I need you baby

When a man loves a woman, a woman loves a man

Love and devotion gotta keep it if you can

A kiss, a smile, even when you cry

Everybody knows that we need it once awhile

Love and devotion, baby I can't get enough

Of all that love and devotion in my life

Love and devotion, baby love and devotion

You are the sunshine of my life

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I want you baby

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey

Oh-la oh-la I want you baby, I need you baby

Songwriter:

Oh-la oh-la oh-la oh-la hey
