For real, fuck The-Dream, least interesting R&B of the last decade, annoying as fuck voice, massively overhyped. Yamaha is the closest I've ever come to enjoying a Dream song/feature and even that was a pretty mediocre Little Red Corvette ripoff.

tbqh I feel like father john misty,james blake,Ariel pink post before today stuff is more R&B and trying to love your womyn type of shit,
then the almost strip club r&b thats gets played now,
fka twigs just whispers about sucking ur dick with good production that carries the rest of the song.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfbJWaSIUBw

I kinda get what you mean, add the latest Unknown Mortal Orchestra album to that list

Also twigs may be carried by production for the most part but fuck it if EP2 wasn't a masterpiece on both hers and Arca's part

>>61489429
He does though. There's like one song on that album about a man, the rest are about girls. He's bi

Also, D'angelo is based OP

D'Angelo, Maxwell, Erykah Badu (I don't personally dig her but it's hard to deny she's talented) are all still making music and carrying the neo-soul torch, man

>>61488787
Dude, Oui was the only song that was even worth the release. I wanted it to be good after the mixtape, but man it just wasn't a good album.

>>61489670
I really liked Impatient and Paradise.

>>61489834
Didn't care for those much, but I forgot about Remember Me, I did like that one.

>>61489670
>>61489834
Remember Me, Impatient and Don't Tell Em were the shit

>>61490365
>>61490011
Planez would be GOAT if it wasn't for that fucking J Cole verse.

r&b hasn't been innovative since MJ and prince.

Baby face just came out with a new album
Don't know If it's good or not

Yes, it's deader than /mu/.

>>61491337
Luther Vandross.

>>61491400
/mu/ has an underage problem

>>61491416
Easily one of the youngest boards on 4chan desu

>>61491428
/fa/ and /b/ beat it out though.

>>61490365
add more songs in that vein and Rated R + Feel the Bass from 2012 and we could have had something solid from Jeremih

the features fuck up a solid rnb album

>>61491416
Then I must be a paedophile, because i'm always fucking /mu/.

He's a really good producer.

>>61492638
when it comes to mixing or EQing the man has no idea what he's doing

>>61489520
Surprised /mu/ hasn't discussed dvsn more with the Pitchfork BNT hype and OVO association. Will be hyped to hell soon.

>>61488607
>I'm sick and tired of these hypebeast ass niggas moaning into a vocoder about Hennessy and calling it R&B music

Most artists out are capable of producing genuine R&B, it's just that it's not as commercially successful as it use to be. Times are changing, face it OP

Miguel carrying the genre on his back desu. His last few projects were top notch IMO

>>61492739
This is my post and I swear to god I did not type desu wtf. Is this some type of built in feature on this board. I think I've spent enough time here

>>61492673
don't understand why, dvsn is utterly unremarkable..

oh, it's pitchfork

>>61492739
desu senpai it is what it is senpaitachi cuck

>>61492739
Also Lianne La Havas and especially D'Angelo from last year was very good.

>>61492775
"The Line" and "Hallucinations" are great songs.

>>61492769
tb.h corrects to desu senpai

>>61492802
kill yourself desu. Faggot

>>61492855
meme desu (test)

Jai Paul is the literally the only truly exciting thing in RnB right now. Too many hacks doing this cookie cutter "OVO sound".

>>61492660
I don't nit pick to that extent when songs like IFHY, Fucking Young, and Find Your Wings sound beautiful.

>>61492855
Thanks. Is it the same with senpai? whats the trigger word?

>>61492914
f.am

f.ams

and cuck used to filter into kek

>>61492914
f.am -> senpai
c.uck -> kek
isn't there a 4th one? is it baka (sm.h)?

>>61492984
cuck isn't filtered

>>61492932

Is this a temporary joke or has this site really gone full weeb

What we need is New Jack Swing again. Sure, it had its duds (Iesha, I Wanna Sex You Up), but it had a lot more hits to make up for it.

I think NJS was one of the earliest blends of hip hop and 80s-90s R&B.

>>61491631
>Pop

All genres are "pop".

>>61491631
>Vocoder

That's not a vocoder you dumb fuck, this is.

I have this weird feeling it's going to come back at the end of the decade.

At the very least, give Teddy Riley the respect he deserves.

>>61494860
>>61495067
Our generation seems to be trying to bring back the fashion from the NJS era, like high top fades/gumby fades, the clothes, etc

Even a Canadian Asian guy is doing it.
