Slow jam
含义: A slow, romantic R&B or soul song meant for intimate listening or slow dancing.
Slow jams are the cornerstone of romantic Black music — smooth, sensual R&B songs made for setting a mood. They're what you play during a candlelit dinner, a late-night drive, or a slow dance. Artists like Usher, Toni Braxton, and R. Kelly defined the genre. 'Put on some slow jams' is code for setting a romantic atmosphere.
