This is the written article that i've written. This is an interview between ESSENTIAL and Teya Evans.
ESSENTIAL: Give us
a bit of an idea on what R&B really is about
TEYA EVENS: “The genre of R&B is something that I’m
very passionate about. It brings in all the soul and passion to music. There’s
just so much history behind it all, it’s really amazing. I mean, R&B was abbreviated from the word Rhythm and
Blues. I bet you didn’t know that! It was originated in the 1940’s and was a
popular music genre of African-American music in the early 1950s”
ESSENTIAL: Now that you’re back and here to stay how has it been?
TEYA EVENS: “Yes
it’s been hard getting back on track, but I really do enjoy my job It’s
something I love and always have. Being at the studio and working on dance
routines can get tough but I’d never give it up for anything.”
ESSENTIAL: What sets you apart from other R&B artists out there?
TEYA EVENS: “I started singing at a very young age. Every
Sunday I'd go to Church with my family and sing in the choir. When I was about
7 years old I’d play on my dad’s piano and ask him to teach me how to play.
Occasionally, I’d sit down and figure out things on my own. That’s when I knew
music was my passion.
ESSENTIAL: Your
album is out. The leading video is out. What’s next?
TEYA EVENS: “Well,
I’m always working on new material in the studio, but right now the focus has
been on getting ready for shows and gigs. And at the same time still promoting
the album and getting the word out.”
ESSENTIAL: Would there be any tours coming up
TEYA EVENS: “Yes, in the new year the PASSION& SOUL
tour will be announced worldwide especially for the new single but mainly for
the fans as I love them so much, I’ve come such a long way and they’ve
supported me through it all”
ESSENTIAL: Right now that’s what I
call an interview it’s been a pleasure Teya Evans. I’m sure we’re all looking
forward to the release
TEYA EVANS: “You’re ever so welcome,
it was great”

History of R&B
The term rhythm and
blues was frequently applied to blues records. The term "R&B"
became used to refer to music styles that developed from built-in electric
blues, as well as gospel and also soul music. The term was credited to Jerry
Wexler when he was editing the charts in Billboard magazine (1947). The term
was used in the chart listings from 1949 onwards and the charts in question
encompassed a number of contemporary forms that emerged around that time. By
the 1970s, rhythm and blues was used as a blanket term for ‘Soul&Funk. In
the 1980s, a newer style of R&B developed, becoming known as
"Contemporary R&B". Rhythm and Blues is essentially about
emotional expression and is largely a vocal medium.
