This list contains singers and groups who performed in the new jack swing (or swingbeat)[1][2] style, a hybrid style popular from the mid-1980s into the early 1990s.[3] It developed as many previous music genres did, by combining elements of jazz, R&B, funk and hip hop.[4] The sound of new jack swing comes from the hip hop "swing" beats created by drum machine and hardware samplers[5]
