" We're living in a post-Cassie world, for sure," says Jessy Lanza, the Hamilton, Ontario, singer and songwriter whose debut album for Hyperdub is what might have resulted had Cassie worked with a producer aware of developments in dubstep. So while the world waits for a new Cassie album (she released her one official album in 2006, and despite numerous mooted followups, she has yet to put out a second, with just a mixtape issued earlier this year to satisfy her cult fan base), here are some of the superb young performers occupying the space with their gossamer, glitchy R&B. More than anyone, though, it is Cassie Ventura, known simply as Cassie, who has become the figurehead for this new scene, perhaps because she is regarded as the last of an era (what Rihanna et al make is something quite different). Aaliyah, Brandy, Ciara – these are the touchstones for their dreamy yet subtly dislocating dance music. SZA, Phlo Finister, Kid A, Jhené Aiko, Twigs, Jessy Lanza and Kelela have different influences and approaches, but what they share is a love of R&B at its most forward-looking and futuristic, the sort that was prevalent between the mid 90s and the mid-noughties, when Timbaland, the Neptunes and Rodney Jerkins were in their heyday. But now the pendulum is swinging back towards women.
PHLO FINSTER HOW TO
Over the past few years, male stars such as Drake, the Weeknd, the-Dream, Frank Ocean, Miguel, Autre Ne Veut and How to Dress Well, have stretched the definition of soul and taken the music to unexpected places. I remember where I was and what I was doing. I remember the day I first heard what Timbaland and Aaliyah did – that intersection of her pretty voice and his weird, resonant production. "In the most direct way, we're trying to be post-Timbaland," says Kelela Mizanekristos, one of several new female artists operating in the realm of what could be termed experimental R&B. R&B originals, clockwise, from top left: Cassie, Phlo Finster, Kid A, Kelela, Jessy Lanza and SZA Timbaland and Cassie started it, artists such as Drake and Frank Ocean twisted it a bit more and now a new generation of musicians is forcing soul into unheard-of mutations Visit megaphone.Beyond Timbaland: the future stars of experimental R&B Find out more about The Binge and other podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at /podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Traficant battles the local newspaper, then the FBI, the IRS and finally his own demons as an eight-term, twice-indicted congressman. Then, Jim Traficant ran for sheriff, riding into office as the city’s steel industry fell on hard times. Illegal gambling was so lucrative that a mob war raged for decades, and bodies piled up. The Saturday Evening Post dubbed Youngstown, Ohio “Crimetown U.S.A.” It was a mob town.

The Sunshine Place tells the mind-blowing, true-story of Synanon - one of America’s most cutting edge social experiments, turned into one of its most dangerous and violent cults - as it’s never been told before: by the people who lived it. Dederich, aka “Chuck,” would be the one to destroy it all, along with the lives of many of his followers and millions of dollars in assets. The man who made the miracle happen, Charles E. What started in a house on the beach, soon spread to compounds across the country. Before long, it would make an even bolder claim: It could cure any of your problems. Once called “the miracle on the beach,” Synanon began in the 1960s as an experimental rehab facility in Santa Monica, California with a radical claim: It could cure heroin addiction.
