Urban Radio - Smooth R&B 🇺🇸

Urban Radio - Smooth R&B focuses on delivering a smooth, mellow, and romantic R&B music experience.

The playlist includes classic R&B hits from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s from artists like Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, Sade, Babyface, Toni Braxton, and Brian McKnight. The station programming centers around on-air personalities who set the mood and connect with the audience by providing information about the music and artists. Some stations feature specialty shows that focus on subgenres of R&B, such as classic soul, neo-soul, or love songs. Urban Radio - Smooth R&B stations are often involved in their local communities, supporting local events and charities. While the format is rooted in R&B, it avoids tracks with heavy hip-hop influence or explicit lyrics, creating a relaxing listening environment.
