You're right, but I find it has become a very thin line, thinking of Kali Uchis in comparison or, say, Lemonade. It's also a style I find very attractive.

anybody have any opinions on Ian Isiah? was mostly non-plussed by his EP until I heard this, which floored me:

perfect timing, new level, take your time, these days is a rly great stretch imo, and some of the stuff at the beginning (going thru some thangs) and end (lie 2 me) is dope too

top 10 album of the year to me

^ Erykah Badu, Kelly Price, BJ The Chicago Kid, Luke James, Queen Naija, Robert Glasper And Thundercat show out in the soul cypher!

also luke’s song on this week’s STAR is super dramatic and great

i really like Ryan Beatty's debut Boy In Jeans

very much in the vein of albums like Blonde and CTRL with its often guitar-oriented sound, but fuller in sound and less fragmented than Blonde. it's also very gay

This is fantastic, thankin u. Was not expecting the Green Gartside meets Om’mas Keith vibes.

i'm glad someone else likes the Ryan Beatty album! that sort of summery guitar-oriented alt r&b is such a comforting sound to me. i don't really hear Green Gartside though other than the blue-eyed soul thing? Gartside has such a distinctive voice that it's hard to compare anyone to him imo

anybody have any opinions on Ian Isiah?

I missed that he's been working with Sinjin Hawke for awhile, cool

i'm going head over heels for h.e.r.'s "could've been". exquisite.

Merry everything ILM; have you a playlist of what's been discussed on the R&B thread this year.
