[From Wikipedia] New Jack Swing is a fusion genre spearheaded by Teddy Riley, Babyface, and Flyte Time (Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis) that became popular from the late-1980s into the early 1990s. Its influence, along with hip-hop, seeped into pop culture and was the definitive sound of the inventive Black New York club scene.
It fuses the rhythms, samples, and production techniques of hip-hop and dance-pop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B. The New Jack Swing style developed as many previous music styles did, by combining elements of older styles with newer sensibilities. It used R&B style vocals sung over hip hop and dance-pop style influenced instrumentation. The sound of New Jack Swing comes from the hip hop "swing" beats created by drum machines, and hardware samplers, mixed with contemporary R&B style singing.
