Being born in the late 90s has meant that I haven't always been able to fully appreciate the R&B songs of that era. Don't get me wrong, the 90s most definitely had a lot of great and classic R&B songs, but the R&B songs from the 2000s era have a huge place in my heart as I actually grew up listening to them and watching the music videos as they were released on music channels. As such, for nostalgic reasons I've always viewed a lot of the songs released in that era as being the best. There were just so many amazing songs released in the 2000s and early 2010s that I still love today, and for that reason I think that a lot of them are timeless.


In no particular order here are 25 R&B songs from the 2000s and a few from the early 2010s, that I personally think are timeless. These are the songs that I strongly believe we'll continue listening to in 30 years time!

  1. Keyshia Cole - Heaven Sent (2007)

  2. Mario - Let Me Love You (2004)

  3. Fantasia - When I See You (2006)

  4. Alicia Keys - If I ain't got you (2003)

  5. Destiny's Child - Cater 2 U (2004)
