Top journalists for R&B & soul music

Use Groover to discover journalists who cover R&B, soul, neo-soul, and contemporary R&B. Filter by genre and media type, then send your track directly. Every journalist listens and responds within 7 days, or you get your credits back.

Journalists look for authentic voices, strong songwriting, and quality production. They want artists with a clear identity, whether you make classic soul, neo-soul, alternative R&B, or contemporary soul. A compelling story and professional presentation help you stand out.

R&B and soul are experiencing a creative renaissance. Neo-soul blends classic influences with modern production, while alternative R&B pushes boundaries with experimental sounds. Contemporary R&B artists mix genres freely, creating fresh takes on soulful music that journalists love to cover.

Send polished tracks with clear context. Mention your influences, subgenre (neo-soul, contemporary R&B, alternative soul), and what makes your sound unique. Include links to previous releases and shows. Journalists appreciate artists who understand their editorial focus and pitch accordingly.

You get guaranteed feedback within 7 days. Journalists may offer reviews, interviews, playlist features, or simply constructive feedback. Not every pitch leads to coverage, but you always get a real response. If a journalist doesn't reply, you receive your credits back automatically.
