The sound of a city once dictated genre. But the physical notion of the “city” has digitized, birthing spatiotemporally independent music scenes such as “Neo-Cru R&B.”

In “Neo-Cru R&B: Youth of Anemoia” illustrating how digital spaces mirror the function of cities in creating genre, producer Sej (Joshua Jung) explores how a particular R&B scene manifests post-pandemic lamentation coupling the simultaneous desires to feel alone yet wanted and to exist in a golden past in the clouded present. In collaboration with 2x EMMY-nominated Cantera Studio (cr: Vox, Sony Music), the documentary features emerging R&B artists Avenoir and Pino alongside the producers behind the sound, such as Ammar Junedi (Ariana Grande, TYuS) and Isaiah Kaleo (Chase Shakur, 4batz).
