So HER is a plant right? (Debut album flopped)

[Harry B]

How can you be a plant when you are signed to a major label, managed by the same people that built Alicia Keys and don’t hide it.


Plant in my eyes is when you try to act like your growth is organic grassroot but it’s really a carefully planned major label/big manager operation with big money and investors controlling and expecting returns.

Plant has has become “manufactured hype” these days

tinashe is actually talented and has the it factor, she was mismanaged and now it's hard for her to find a lane and climb up.

imo tinashe was probably one of the last female r&b singers with GOAT potential. she had almost rihanna level beauty at her peak, she could write, a legit dancer, great singing voice and artistry. it's fukked up that the industry failed her so badly.

Tinashe having a burner on the coli is wild

Shorties team is amazing at getting her these looks with nothing to show for it

I like HER but they seem really desperate to get white people to know she exists and I don't know if it's working....

I think the industry wanted her to be where a SZA is it just never happened

Funny thing is that formula didn't work for the weeknd. Breh could have blown up much sooner if he wasn't doing that shyt.

I don't know why anyone would want to follow that formula.

I think they did that because when HER popped on the scene, her music was tailored for audiences that were 25 and up. She was making real mature grown folk music at like 17 and 18 years old. I feel like early on, the song that resonated the most and really cut through was Focus (this song came out like 8 or 9 years ago)... then on the heels of that Best Part with Daniel Caesar came out and that literally became a timeless wedding song the second it released.

The alignment between her material and the demographic of fans that connected with her music wasn't ideal - especially because she was so young.

It's almost like she had to work backwards. She immediately got a mature fanbase and then retroactively started making music for people her age and nothing stuck. Where with other artists, they make music for the youth and if older people rock with it, it's an added plus.

[Mag Wheel]

She is cute and should show more skin

This shyt is sad. They really killed R &B. You look at our legends and most of them were teens or in their early 20s. And young folks made them. The idea that you cant market straight R&B to young people is some really sad shyt.

I didn't know this thread even existed until today. I didn't realize she had haters

She makes great music, but reading through this thread, people saying she didn't hit because she doesn't make THOT R&B like some others.

The funny thing is, she actually has a song with Jazmine Sullivan that is like a double entendre to this point for making music and dating.

The bigges music industry plants are the ones ya'll don't even label as plants. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are plants, but you won't see people talking about that though. I wonder why. And it's not even like it was hidden. They had flopped careers as solo artists, revamped their image, came back as something else, had like five year runs where they were the biggest acts in music, then flopped again. They still get looks of artists that are bigger yet haven't had a hit song in years.

Go ask white folks. Black people don’t give a shyt about either of them.

Not sure why album sales even still get discussed these days over streams lol
