Classic Western R&B songs to listen to in autumn

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Japan has four distinct seasons, and with the greenery turning red in autumn, many people may find themselves wanting to listen to calmer music that suits the scenery.

For those listeners, we’ve selected Western R&B with a touch of melancholy.

From tranquil R&B with a delicate feel to tracks wrapped in a sensual mood, we’ve picked songs from a wide range of styles.

There are brand-new releases as well, so if you love R&B and soul, please relax and enjoy to the very end.

A music genre with strong choral elements—vocal harmony.

The group that brought many classic songs incorporating this style into R&B is the four-member Boyz II Men.

One of their best-known tracks is “I’ll Make Love to You.” The song centers on a romantic night with a loved one, and its lyrics and gentle vocals complement each other perfectly.

When you listen, be sure to pay attention to the lyrics as well.

Bryson Tiller, an R&B singer who rose to popularity in the mid-2010s, isn’t just a classic R&B vocalist—he also has a rapper-like side, and lately he’s been releasing a lot of R&B infused with hip-hop.

Among his works, the track I especially recommend for autumn is “Don’t.” Wrapped in a stylish slow jam that defined the late 2010s and early 2020s, this song is perfect for the fall season, when summer fades and the chill begins to set in.
