Line 2:
Less conventional [[Contemporary R and B]] with more [[Soul Music|Soul]].
 
The term was coined by record executive Kedar Massenburg sometime late in [[The Nineties]] to describe the breakthrough artists in this period, namely [[Lauryn Hill]], [[Erykah Badu]], and [[D Angelo]]. The label [['''Neo Soul]]''' itself isn't exactly embraced by many of these artists, mainly due to the "neo" part, as if [[Soul Music|Soul]] died at some point.
 
The music itself, while taking a page out of [[R and B]]'s mass appeal with the structure and sound, is still deeply rooted in Soul music. It is still subject to [[Pop Culture Isolation]], as it's almost exclusively played on urban/African-American radio and outlets and hasn't reached the heights back in late 1990s.
 
=== Artists generally under the [[Neo Soul]] label: ===
