most of these bytches suck and by most i mean like 98% but they get by on looks, "singing" on hip hop/rap/trap beats, and they lean heavily on cosigns/affiliations
Jhene aiko in particular is fukking horrible. I see nothing in her musically. brings nothing different to the table.
they are bring the prospect of vagina to the table for thirsty simps. all these new r&b chicks have a "regular" attractiveness about them and simps things its attainable

These were nice, she reminds me of tweet. I'll check for her project, but lets be honest, she doesn't come close to looking how they want you to right now, so here ceiling is extremely low barring a sudden enlightenment by the masses and media to accept substance over looks in r&b again.
I mean real talk...cocteau twins did this whole sound almost 30 years ago. Portishead too, albeit much darker. Morcheeba...most of this shyt is dream pop/trip-hop with more pronounced vocals. Having listened to hundreds of albums of that shyt most of these new age brehettes milking the musical aesthetic are okay but why bother when you can just go throw on Dummy and get the real thing?
yeah but these new school chicks are just ehhhhhhhhhh. at least Portishead has stood the test of time in the past 20 years or so. Tinashe and Jhene are not gonna push units or make some groundbreaking material. At the most you'll get a club track like Tinashe has with "2 On" but thats about it IMO
outside of a few hip-hop artist and ambient space/trance music, I don't listen to any music post 2003...
I agree!
Thats what I'm saying fam. these acts won't stand the test of a few years let alone decades. Its fad music and just seems incredibly uninspired and hype beast. The least they could do is make it ultra sexualized to try to differentiate themselves from the million other acts doing this shyt. Why you think weeknd blew up, nikka song content gave no fukks.
This reminds of this woman named Sia. Pretty much has a hand in like 2 dozen number ones, but looks horrible so she will never blow on her own music which is largely exceptional as far as pop goes.
You have rihanna or katy perry on that and it has 50 million views by now.

I've listened to all the videos and have yet to be impressed by anything I've heard with the exception of Gwen Bunn and Rochelle Jordan. The rest of these broads have paper thin voices drowned in reverbs and delays. The songs posted by SZA and Tinashe were so processed I couldn't even hear there lyrics. I will admit it is step up above Rihanna and these other trash ass mainstream R&B chicks but nah I'm not impressed.
A few of the melodies were dope but vocally nobody has blown me away.

Check out natasha khan then. Largely the same type of music (a bit more avant garde tbh) but has a very strong voice devoid of the effects.
