For a lot of modern RnB, the 'band' aren't really playing much in the way of music. If you take away the vocals, you are left with a very syncopated drum-beat, and a few instrumental highlights. The vocals are the main 'instrument' for the melody.

I like this mix - for both listening to, and dancing. I tend to prefer female singers, because the vocals come across better as a musical instrument

Craig David's band do provide far more 'music' than most RnB bands, but yes - he does sing to something different again. A bit of an aquired taste!
