Been a fan for most of her career, its time to start recognizing her as one of the dope woman singers of her era...

She's been in the public sphere for over 6 years, with 5 drops, releasing on a schedule roughly every 14 months or so on average. She's got two certified classics under her belt: You Should Be Here (2015) and While We Wait (2019). Two classics within her first 4 drops is impressive and should be commended...

Here's some of the GOAT tracks from You Should Be Here:

You Should Be Here


The Way (f/Chance The Rapper)

She’s great

never made a bad project

Sis is phenomenal. I've been a fan but its to the point now where I can't think of many female R&B acts, who debuted in the 2010s just like her (her era), who are above her...

Top 5 of her era and I'm not sure many people recognize just how quality her art is...

she is great

altho idk about top 5 for me, not saying she don't belong. But I can't really make a top 5 of rn list of R&B because theres alot of good people.

i prolly have her top 5 female singers tho without thinking about the others

Bro I've really tried to put some thought into it. I do agree that there's been more strong R&B artists of the '10s than initially thought about, but its hard for me to name five women from her era that should be above her based on the quality of the music...

Homegirl is popular with the younger demographic, but the sense I get is most people over 25 dont realize just how strong her work is. She's a true artist...

Her 2015 project is nice but everything after is hit or miss imo

Her next two after that one were cool; While We Wait is great...

Her latest joint she dropped this year, is her weakest joint to me since her debut, and maybe her weakest overall. I dont think its bad but it and her debut were hit/miss to me. But her middle three projects, from 2015--2017--2019, are her peak form...
