Kehlani upon first listen was good but her voice didn't get me yet

Have we discussed this Elijah Blake single? Feels like the first thing he's done that other people might care about

deej showed that to me the other day, pretty good
― some dude, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 19:56 (eight years ago) link
It's sounding more and more like a hit to me.
Also maybe some of the best attainable dance moves I've seen in a video since Ne-Yo's "One In a Million" convinced me to take hip-hop dance classes (I didn't last long)

they just sent me a stream (ugh) of that album, should i check it out? I don't know much elijah blake

I've been posting his tracks in these threads over the last few years, but they understandably never garner much excitement. He's one of those consistently good, rarely great mid-tier R&B singers, but guys like that can put out good albums with the right team behind them, so I'd check the album out
― Evan R, Tuesday, 2 June 2015 20:18 (eight years ago) link
He also co-wrote "Climax"

Loving the K-Major album/tape.

Kehlani is awesome, one of my favorite records this year
― supreme problematics (D-40), Saturday, 13 June 2015 17:15 (eight years ago) link
i don't have much time to listen to music atm but i listened to half of it on shuffle while waling to work and i loved the song with chance
― flopson, Saturday, 13 June 2015 19:04 (eight years ago) link
the kehlani album is excellent
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 13 June 2015 19:54 (eight years ago) link
nice track on the tamia album prod by polow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXq3qPc3f1s
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 13 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
the reversion to the original key on "nowhere" on the tamia album is really clumsily done. would've been a total banger otherwise
― bae sremmurd (monotony), Sunday, 14 June 2015 07:11 (eight years ago) link
tamia album is really enjoyable, lighter and more carefree than i expected
here's another new polow da don production, which is basically him doing a dj assault song. i love it

I love that, but it feels utterly indefensible.

whoa that is Lexcore to the extreme
― Evan R, Monday, 15 June 2015 19:46 (eight years ago) link
Oh it's a reworked Shanell cut.
― boxedjoy, Monday, 15 June 2015 19:49 (eight years ago) link
prob not perfect for this thread exactly but strangely enough Bilal doesn't have his own thread so here's his new single, "Satellites"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJDC4BEEMwo
― like a giraffe of nah (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 18 June 2015 15:03 (eight years ago) link
i'm not sure i'm totally into the tamia album as a front-to-back listen but it does have some really gorgeous cuts on it (beyond the two singles obv)
― dyl, Thursday, 18 June 2015 15:31 (eight years ago) link
Bilal has a thread we've been usingBilal - Airtight's Revenge

Bilal's voice floors me on that song. End of the video is devastating, too.

this abra album is superb despite the ~aesthetic
https://darkwaveduchess.bandcamp.com/album/rose
the natasha mosley album i mentioned upthread is really growing on me, works really well as a more vulnerable counterpart to the kehlani album in terms of singer-songwriterly r&b
listening to the justine skye album - opening track is pretty great, obvious rihjects less so
