I hear what you're saying but true talent always overcomes the fakeness in the end. Especially when you got songs like this
If i wanted easy listening... i'd bump Enya.

I'm wondering why we even still use the term "rhythm & blues"
.
How does anything we listen to fit under that discription.

There just isn't enough of new cats in the mainstream getting the green light to push it. I heard a 17 year old, sexy smut playing SWV "Weak" and some other songs and the market never left just on a drought right now.you said tinashe has a good voice?
i like jhene, never heard that rochelle chick, but those joints were dope and i'm gonna check for her. sza is in a lane a lot of people actually in the electrosoul/downtempo genre do better, she's living on borrowed time off that TDe co-sign, i found her EP very uninspiring.
OP posted my main criticisms of r&b in general, it's like rap right now, carried by production & vibe and lacking content and talent (i.e. real singers). furthermore, there are only so many spaced out drug binge inducing, slit my wristst after making love songs you wanna hear, it will work for 1-2 artists, but there isn't space for all them. then on the other spectrum you have ratchet&B which is jarringly offensive. r&b is on struggle more than hip hop IMO.
But you're right, this new wave crap is unbearable. Even though Beyonce is in her ratchet phase, she can still sing.
It is an insult and labels purposely attach it to something that has been around forever to give away it is a fad. I said on TC before that it is an insult to use the term R&B for this music.I'm wondering why we even still use the term "rhythm & blues"

Nah. Not really. Its cool but they ALL put you in one mood...sleepy/drowsy in a drug state. Back in the day (and the music I still listen to) had records to fit you 24/7. Listen to my Lauryn Hill when I'm feeling ambiguous, your Monica when your nikka on your nerves, Brandy when you wanna vibe out, TLC when you wanted to dance to good music, Chaka, Whitney, Sade as well but I'm talking about the young girls. I like K. Michelle a lot though, Tamar, Jhene, Rihanna...but I know it's not timeless like the aforementioned.

Real chit, I've had Sade "Paradise" on repeat for the last couple days because that's how a nicca been feelin'.
I get it. I know that to be in the game today you have to be an..."artist" first. You gotta have your "package" and your "sound" figured out and all that. Fine...
...but i'll pass. In a way, I feel the same way about my singers as I do about rappers: you gotta be able to pull off the basics of the craft to make me care. I mean real talk - Keith Sweat is not gonna kill anybody in a sing-off, but if you put him on stage with a nicca playin' the piano, he can give you a helluva show.
Couple of other folks said it in here...muffuccas are just finding fine broads, setting them in front of us and telling us they're R&B singers, and they got no rhythm and ain't never felt no blues.

1)Tinashe {Midnight Sun, Just A Taste, Black Water (Intro), Slow, Vunerable(w/o Travi$ Scott verse).....every chick I talk to on a regular basis love 2 On track
2)Jhene Aiko {The Worst, Comfort Inn Ending, Bed Peace}
3)Sza {Moon Revisited, Advil}....horrible replay value
....Never heard of Rochell Jordan

SZA's project 'S' is much better than 'Z' imo. But Rochelle Jordans project "PRESSURE" stayed in rotation for a while
not really feeling it
first 2 tracks are trash....terribly mixed
