Marsha Ambrosius Challenges R&B

Studio 360

Modern R&B concerns itself with three things – love, lovemaking, and heartbreak. Marsha Ambrosius, a British singer now based in Philadelphia, wants to shake things up. On her debut album, the breakup songs are caustic and funny; her sad songs are wrenching. She’s tackled homophobia with a very personal video about the suicide of a friend. Will R&B ever be the same? Produced by Eddie Robinson.
