R&B 2015

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

He also co-wrote "Climax"

song's a pleasant morsel tho i v much feel it's really more about dej (<3) than dude

i like the tamia record a lot!

same!

oh cool that's out now! i still love "sandwich and a soda" even if it is a lil corny

so uh we all heard that kehlani got her laptop stolen and that the thieves made songs?

fucking hell

Hah Jesus I heard about the stolen laptop but :...

First track is flames

Actually convinced me to listen to the album which is great so far.

By the album I mean her album

Loving the K-Major album/tape.

Kehlani is awesome, one of my favorite records this year

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

the kehlani album is excellent

nice track on the tamia album prod by polow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXq3qPc3f1s

the reversion to the original key on "nowhere" on the tamia album is really clumsily done. would've been a total banger otherwise

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

Oh it's a reworked Shanell cut.

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

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)

Bilal has a thread we've been using
Bilal - Airtight's Revenge

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

This is very striking

six hundred women

hahahahahahaha

lmao

this abra album is superb despite the ~aesthetic

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

omg at the rent ref

robin thicke is good again

http://www.youtube.com/watch?t=73&v=b-7gr8QvRbc

nice

need to reiterate that the abra album is in fact amazing and i can't stop listening

everyone's talkin bout their fallback game, game, game
but i ain't got no fuckin chill cuz love is like a drug to me

Lex OTM. The ABRA album is really great.

This is a quick, mid-year reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a handful of album selections from each listed) are being posted as updated to the thread-specific Spotify playlist. I just did a top-to-bottom sweep prior to posting this message and have updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.

98 tracks and 6+ hours with especially heavy representation from Jazmine Sullivan, Dawn Richard, Ne-Yo, Kid Ink, Honey Cocaine and Kehlani.

(mila j - smoke, drink, breakup)

& they followed it w/ miguel coffee omg yes

that song was semi-big last year, but i was just lamenting recently that Mila J kinda disappeared after her EP was released, and then she released a new single
