R&B 2015

there's a whole ratchet R&B honey cocaine EP on spotify

"sundae" is prob the best song but it's a pretty strong listen

this one is good

I like the new Trey Songz EP a lot

https://soundcloud.com/treysongz/sets/intermission

is that honey cocaine ep entirely produced by dj carisma? i love it

i feel like his drops are on all the songs?

her drops

i looked it up and it appears it's all her, yeah

someone have a dL link for that shit

xp i think shes just hosting the EP rather than producing it?

turns out that cici single could actually be enlivened by a judicious remix!

someone have a dL link for that shit

on itunes or https://soundcloud.com/queenhoneyc/sets/thegiftrap-ep

ATL Bass remixes always improve the originals.

truth

new zaytoven-produced shanell is alright, primarily reminds me of what i love about some of her vocal tics, like the way she ends a lot of her lines with this sort of aggressive gasp rather than drifting off sensually as you might expect

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

that first shanell mixtape came on afterwards and my goodness it is still straight fire tho

Kehlani release gonna be so good
https://soundcloud.com/kehlanimusic/kehlani-alive-feat-coucheron

that's really great, pretty hyped for her now

Alive is nice but DAAAAAAAMN "Jealous", as nice a nu-aaliyah sound as i've heard lately

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Yp7TeNr7p8

"alive" is really good, the songwriting is very in a dr. luke style but the production doesn't quite go there (thankfully)

she sounds acoustic arrangements really well

*suits

I'm still totally charmed by this Tamia single, which has a video now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwWQ_RayAOw#t=125

yes same here, wish the radio stations in my area would play it :(

I've got to the head-over-heels stage with Honey Cocaine

The Honey Cocaine EP is great.

My favourite is probably 'Done Done', mainly because it features the great diss 'what type of man has a heart as small as his dick'.

damn that tamia track is really great

it's one of my faves from this yr

this is lovely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hqb5gvWB60

i welcomed her

Getting a lot of John Legend vibes from that

listening to that new kehlani right now, really enjoying it so far

listened through twice so far and I think most of my favorite tracks have already been released but it's a good tape overall. I think I preferred how succinct her previous one was because songs like Bright and The Letter kind of stunt the mood (especially since they're the longest tracks here aside from The Way).

looking forward to the kehlani, didn't realise it was coming so soon!

new sevyn streeter is a lovely low-key thing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiQVp6GHchg

oh yeah and i have upgraded the honey cocaine ep from "pretty great" to "near-flawless", i love her

also i know that this thread is, in general, determined to let estelle pass it by but this deep cut from her new album is just a brilliantly performed and written song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKf7XZzYN1U

this kehlani album is pretty brilliant imo. a lot more plain-spoken than i expected. she really lays it all out there.

Like that Seven track. Hope she gets a full-length soon

That Sevyn Streeter song is lovely.

that estelle lex posted is pretty flimsy, though much of the album is enjoyable.
the kehlani is lovely, wanna try more.
as the artist specific thread has been tanooki'd, what does an R&B thread think about the new Janelle Monae
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OkB6p_FZAw

fwiw, i think the song is pretty awful but likely just a dispensable cut/populist outlier for whatever the new album is; she does that

yeah dreadful song

Good song. Going to be huge.

bad song, not going to be huge

i'm feeling this sevyn streeter song tho

"Unconditional" off the new Kehlani is fire

i feel like i know what "4th Street" is interpolating... anybody wanna help? sounds like late 80's stevie wonder.
it's a nice song.

trilogy of: Trendy Norway - Mainstream America - Remixed in London

Cashmere Cat - Adore Feat Ariana Grande (MssingNo Remix)
https://soundcloud.com/mssingno/cashmere-cat-adore-feat-ariana-grande-mssingno-remix

does this track get the lex approval?

I actively dislike Janelle Monae's music (she's a great performer) aside from a few songs but that song is definitely among her worst.
Don't see a reason to listen to that when i can hear that Jidenna song too.

Also, Yoga is appearing on the Eephus EP (5 songs), not Monae's own album afaik. Should be out relatively soon.
I initially thought Eephus was gonna be Jidenna's own thing but it's actually showcasing Wondaland Records as a whole.

omg @ baby kehlani

"Unconditional" off the new Kehlani is fire

yeah this has been in my head all day

yeah that's one of my favourites, i like how she gives the ~flaws and all trope a slightly novel and distinctive-to-her twist, presenting it as an ultimatum like that

very into "you should be here", "jealous" and "yet" as well
