Brent Faiyaz has been killing it for years.




You got low key fire like this from Alex Isley




Dvsn and Ty dolla just dropped fire in the summer but I don’t think y’all would like that

But you still got Daniel Ceasar, Sampha, Giveon, Leon Bridges, Jazmine Sullivan having a revival, Solange. R&B is at its strongest in years.




This song right here with tems fukking slaps :wow:

you could try get a job as an R&B writer/producer and change the game to how you want it to be :sas2:

Ahh yes; the bi-weekly "mUsIc wAs bEtTeR iN mY dAy!!!" TLR circlejerk. :whew: Lemme not miss out on this one.

but ppl have posted good music and you're just looking to complain. On top of this, you don't even know what you're listening for.

OP is probably trolling, knowing these threads get numbers.

Same Skinny Light skinned/ brown skinned girls…can’t tell these bishes apart…


And the dudes are all frail and little..male RnB singers used to look like grown men back in the day. These lil dudes are just rap singing now a days too..

:stopitslime:

You like your male RnB singers to look more muscular, huh? :dame:

Tender Kisses - YouTube

The track has no 808s, kicks, no hi-hats, it's pure keyboards, and a drum kit. and the drum-kit is used when changing keys, as the singer shifts her vocals. You can here the drum-kit change with the singer's vocal change.

:mindblown:

None of this makes sense. If this paragraph is about the song you quoted, you are absolutely wrong.

808s is a drum machine, there are kicks and high-hats all throughout the song, and it 100% has TR-808 (or a derivative of) programmed drums in it.

Y'all don't even know what your mad at anymore. :heh:

This sound is pushed because R&B is image first and the people that have the “look” don’t have the vocal range to make anything other than “vibe” music .

it sucks because when it’s done right it slaps but the problem is the people that’s doing it are just inferior copies


Just like 5-8 years ago when everyone was trying to run around being demonic pill heads like The Weeknd …problem is you can duplicate that kind of shyt

takes a lot of time to really master the craft

folks talk about not enough church choir backgrounds

i feel like that vocal gymnastic style can be hard on the ears & even harder on the vocal cords to be honest

simply the bar for entry has been lowered so artist are not putting in the time they used to

microwave artist microwave music
