R&B 2015

High-octane Sevyn:

that tamia is really nice

not very forward thinking but it's a fun song

that new sevyn is a banger

people who like pretty vibesy r&b with no real songs might enjoy this https://keiya.bandcamp.com/releases

on the subject of which, that rahel album only seems to have been "released" as a soundcloud stream, what is the point of that

(it's the kind of album where the hitherto uncatchy single really pops out, the sun is streaming into the kitchen right now and i'm enjoying this sound washing over me but i can barely remember what's happening as it's actually happening)

sorry d'angelo this that real sophomore heat the game's been missing

not very forward thinking but it's a fun song

lol who talks like this

loving the inc song. trying to place what the solo's channeling

"forward thinking" is the worst most meaningless phrase, i'm sure i was guilty of it in my early writing days

inc are still the worst get it out of here

i tweeted this to jordan recently but it bears repeating: only Inc that we acknowledge is Murder

i've been listening to the inc album a lot recently, this track sounds pretty good

oh, and we touched on this in her thread, but the new estelle album is excellent. she does classy x insouciant so well.

tamia album will also feature collaborations w/ the-dream and tricky stewart apparently

lol the inc

hating inc is basic. find me other R&B that does what they do better (or other R&B that does what they do at all) and i'll reconsider

:|

that might mean they're making unique indispensible R&B or maybe just maybe it means they're not making R&B at all

@raccoon and yet their music is clearly r&b, primarily?

lol clearly it is time for me to drop that display name

hahaha ouch

wow that bemyfiasco track is awesome. it does not go where i expected it to after the intro!

love this song

the relative paucity of r&b shows in boston is one of the few things that makes me entertain moving back to nyc

RIP Charmayne "Maxee" Maxwell of Brownstone

terrible news, RIP

yikes.

RIP :(

this Macy Gray/Bobby Brown joint is really sweet

the new tink single is the first song i've really loved by her - fits into my general preference of rap tink to r&b tink but it's the first time i've really got her persona and what she has to say and why she's worth getting excited about

The second 2NYO single was a terrible disappointment.

it really was :/

I thought it was a foregone conclusion that 2nyo record was a one off

Anyway agreed with lex about tink, have always felt Her solo work was just ok and she needed a real collaborator to color in the lines she's drawn for it to work

kinda digging gabriel garzon-montano

seeing Jazmine at Irving Plaza tonight, psyched

jeremih's "planes" is so good but wtf who allowed that j cole verse on there

Sullivan live is a thing to behold; getting a room full of 1k people who can sing every word to Mascara was a joy

IDK feels like he'st rying to reclal the minimalims of his debut but it's kind of a nothing song

idk feels like he's trying to recall the buoyant openness of his debut but he's kind of a nothing person

He hasn't really done anything good in a while has he :(

do seem to remember someone saying that yeah

― Maybe in 100 years someone will say damn Dawn was dope

nice

how do we feel about the empire soundtrack

i haven't heard anything other than "conqueror" which sounds kinda like a ryan tedder hackjob :\

Jennifer Hudson sounds great on "Remember the Music."

"you're so beautiful" is okay
everything i've heard so far seems well past the sell-by-date but what do i care

the estelle song? urgh it's so bad and a horrible outlier on her album too
