Venial Sin2025 Here is how Progressive R&B is defined by The GrammysThis Category recognizes excellence in albums of progressive R&B vocal tracks. This Category is intended for artists whose music is rooted in many of the elements of R&B but has a more progressive sound that may include elements such as hip-hop, rap, pop, dance, and electronic music. This category is differentiated from R&B and/or other Traditional R&B by an emphasis on experimentation and innovation, often through unconventional song structures, dynamic production techniques, and multi-genre influences that challenge traditional R&B conventions.
