R&B 2015

had a friend suggest this to me; i don't know much about her but i'm into it

this new sevyn streeter single, gawd.

incredible.

agreed with deej's assertion that it accurately self-reviews/scolds itself

who produced the new Jodeci track?

this bobby brackins/tinashe/jeremih track sounds exactly like you think it will & i love it https://soundcloud.com/bobbybrackins/my-jam-feat-zendaya-jeremih-prod-by-dem-jointz/s-JZULO

sorry ZENDAYA not tinashe lol

not that it particularly matters in this case

love love love that bobby brackins

kinda unbelievable that we never really mentioned "hot box" from last year

more rnbass, basically

i've never heard an argument about that album where i'm like "yeah ok

love love love that bobby brackins

kinda unbelievable that we never really mentioned "hot box" from last year

more rnbass, basically

yeah "hot box" really had legs for me

did anyone hear the teeflii album? i wasn't impressed, as ever with his stuff, but not so unimpressed that i wouldn't give it another go if someone was to really rep for it

hes always been unimpressive except as a mannequin for dope Mustard beats

Damn, that Nieah track ruins some gorgeous production with some miserable vocals.

it sounded okay to me ... i was surprised/disappointed that they didn't really hone in on a sound. it felt like he was fishing around too much. the song with quik & snoop is great though.

that nieah track!

Oh, I guess I should warn people she's still continuing her aversion to wardrobery but fuuuuuck.

Maybe it gets a bit CB4 but still amazing.

i was just wondering what happened to her

lol aversion to wardrobery

that's a really great song, too

Damn, that Nieah track ruins some gorgeous production with some miserable vocals.

― That shit right there is precedented. (cryptosicko)

I don't think so at all although she comes from a collective of female rnb producer/performers so knob twiddling might be her main forte.

tantalising v. bozeman news, notwithstanding timbaland's presence:

On the music front, Bozeman finished two albums last summer and will be releasing them both this year. Before her solo debut Music is My Boyfriend drops this summer, her collaborative album with Timbaland, Opera Noire, will arrive late February/ early March and is, what she describes, “so powerful it’ll hit the [music] industry in a way it’s never been hit before.”

"race jones" isn't on itunes though :(

new luke james is rather beautiful, i hope he continues in this gothy cosmic vein

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaDpVF0D21Y

also quite enamoured of "ice cream" by someone called audrey rose featuring remy ma and fetty wap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1XnH--XaLU

wow that v bozeman song is really something. jaw-dropping, how on earth has it been on the internet for months without blowing up already

such a wonderful surprise to see her do something so terrific too, i loved her on "'til the end of time"

i rep v hard for this v. bozeman single from a couple of years ago, "poison"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvznv1hDJVc

seems like she's on this empire tv show and her career's getting a commensurate boost?

"race jones" apparently co-written by cee-lo!

rnbass plus salt n pepa? love it

:D

oh my god LOVE IT

second pro-female song from mustard in a row after the jordin sparks one. is he ATONING??

touch of old rasheeda in the way she snaps down on "earthquake"

this song is my platonic ideal of pop

So much gold in this thread lately.

"Figure 8" makes me really want Mustard to produce a Rye Rye comeback album.

err, I guess comeback isn't the right word but you know what I mean, an album ppl care about

New Raheem DeVaughn album is out.

I like the song "Pretty Lady" (with Trombone Shorty). But that's to be expected with my interest in N'awlins brass

got put onto this other malibu n helene song "starin at it" that i think is better than "figure 8" cc: lex

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr46FKbT2Ig

yh i found that on itunes with "figure 8", i think it's excellent but not better

prefer figure 8 but both are great. both on spotify btw and they have a cover of chris brown's loyal on youtube. really like both of their voices and after listening to the maliibu ep it's clear that they're a good combo/sound better with each other than alone

very nice!

the year's first SPRING JAM

loving the groove

Produced by Pop & Oak. But Tamia really owns this one; could imagine a version of it that just sounded like a Miguel retread

tamia's voice is so lovely

High-octane Sevyn:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-GlW8n3r_E

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)
