Y'all think New Jack Swing could ever make a comeback?

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Everyone's favorite Filipino jukebox was the last notable person to use that sound with that Finesse joint



Y'all think it's got any untapped potential? Or is it pretty much run its course, save for the occasional throwback?

Personally, my opinion is y'all NY nikkas could use it as layup to make music that's actually listenable again and connected to your roots
Take it as a gift from me

Plus, I'd like seeing a return of actual vocal arrangements in popular music. This era of mumble singing and struggle voices really overstaying its welcome


But in the meantime, I'mma let this shyt ride

No, the culture of dancing and partying that made it popular doesn’t exist anymore. And most old sounds don’t come back around again other than the occasional throwback song/project or sample.

Drums on new jack sound like stock keyboard samples

 

[chitownpimp]

True, but folks love when the koreans do it

Plus, I'm not expecting 1:1 recreation of the sound we know. More curious to see how it'd sound contemporary style. Keeping in line with it's original intent

Someone like the weeknd probably could pull it off. But like you said, party culture ain't the same. Which is unfortunate cause the alt r&b wave along with trap influenced r&b got the game oversaturated. Would love to see some more lively music instead of depressing shyt one minute and nikkas and hoe shyt the next

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Probably not, unless it's on a one-off basis like "Finesse"

 

[Ol’Otis]

That Bruno Mars shyt trash

And hell no

Like @dora_da_destroyer said you can do a sample or project, thats about it



Ironically I was just doing chord progression research on new jack swing songs

[Black Excellence]

Dancing not the wave anymore so that’s one.

2. Producers can’t even make Drill beats creative, the songs are too similar and repetitive. They’d butcher New Jack.

Breh I got the keystar on my teddy riley shyt as we speak

The women xesually assault each other and the men standing on couches looking dumb

Maybe. in a few years.

Weekend was out there interpolating Tears for Fears.

 

[Tasha And]

It will. Waves move in cycles.
