don toliver album is so great, stretching out to more rarefied places but still got punchy hooks and that voice

cosign, one of my favourite albums of the year so far. I don’t follow r&b close enough to know, but is this Young Thug-does-r&b style (reductive I’m sure, but I don’t know how else to describe it) unique to Toliver?

i liked tink's new one but it's a little sad to me that she's not rapping at all anymore
― here 1st (roxymuzak), Friday, 10 April 2020 00:12 (four years ago) link
I don’t really think of don toliver as r&b any more than I would 03 greedo, shordie Shordie, rod wave, rylo Rodriguez, no cap, or even polo g at times ... tho obviously a very blurry line there
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Friday, 10 April 2020 10:19 (four years ago) link
(With maybe rod wave leaning hard r&b and polo g being more obviously rap)
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Friday, 10 April 2020 10:20 (four years ago) link
Less than young thug i think of 03 greedo meets Travis Scott in that style
― ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Friday, 10 April 2020 10:21 (four years ago) link
Ah thanx deej, I could have suspected there would be much more in that r&b/rap interzone, but it’s another area where I’m not all that much at home. Will try out some of the artists you mentioned.

― knife sharpening tips (gaudio), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 15:49 (four years ago) link
so much greatness. the songwritting obv and foremost; then the taut strings that crackle as glorious as those little psychedelic breezy effusing perfectely-timed underneath; her caressing phras-ing designing the whole thing to such an extent, that that second part of the song reveals itself
― knife sharpening tips (gaudio), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 16:00 (four years ago) link
the arrangement takes it to the next level for sure
― dyl, Thursday, 23 April 2020 02:47 (four years ago) link
i think "dive" is pretty solidly her best yet

"lick the beach/fuck the shore" over the trillville bed squeak takes some serious chops to pull off but she's got it.

certainly not as unique or bold as her material from her commercial prime, but brandy's return is pretty solid imo. backing is fairly repetitive but that moment when the horns and percussion retreat for a few seconds hits the spot. chance's guest verse veers from eyebrow-raising to genuinely amusing
― dyl, Monday, 4 May 2020 17:48 (four years ago) link
i will take literally whatever Brandy i can get but that's fairly undistinguished

the chloe x halle single seems like an instant classic, the sort of thing that might've led off a "summer jams" thread in precedented times gone by!

I will have to listen to it more, but one thing’s for sure, the title track is a beauty.

oh my god
not a direction i immediately expected from either of these artists but wow at how effortlessly they pull it off here. surely has to be among the best songs in both of their catalogs? i honestly figured khalid would never make a good dance tune again.

xp coincidentally, here’s what she says about another song from her forthcoming project:
The title track, ‘Jaguar’ is one of my favourite songs,” she says. “It’s going to make you want to rollerskate around, or do a dance like the electric slide! It’s that vibe. It’s not too on-the-nose disco. It’s not like I’m trying to straight up be Donna Summer, but it definitely feels like retro-future.

I like this from Ayanis, whose 2018 single "Awh Yeh" was huge for me. This one's from back in January - it has 2mm views as of now (that's decent, no?)
