All these new r&b acts all have identity crisis
Basic Spotify r&b playlist “singers”
popular rap is in a much worse state
spotify playlist fodder r&b like that s*** kehlani makes is just as mad as “mumble rap”
"because that can get super shallow and repetitive,” said Summer Walker. “Or there’s the whole mumble rap trend, where you don’t even know what they’re saying. We’re really opening up, getting deeper—and that’s good.”

ironic she says mumble rap trend when her last ep was just incoherent mumbles for the most part
This dropped earlier this year but really rock with every joint on here
Mahalia is a gem
yessssir BRB is an amazing song
mainstream r&b is currently at its worst but the underground lesser known s*** is fire like liv.e, keiyaa and jamila woods
One day we gonna have a discussion about how Abel low key saved R&B with trilogy. One day

Whole mainstream R&B full of slurring whisper singers lmfao
there’s not much of a difference in 2020
R&B has been the most shallow it has been lmao. Giveon and Moses Sumney are interesting but even Moses has kinda moved away from the sound
The best r&b artists rn are those that are essentially doing hip hop as well like tkay maidza or amaarae
Best r&b releases oty were the thug x chris brown or dvsn which was arguably just as much hip hop as its r&b lmao
Whole mainstream R&B full of slurring whisper singers lmfao
that or people trying too hard to be hip hop. the mainstream r&b niggas rn aren’t even making r&b frank made art pop on blonde and weeknd making 80s pop since bbtm
So singing over basic trap beats is better than hip hop. RnB the most boring it’s been. You have a few acts but other than that niggas will just listen to 90s and early 2000s RnB
How she gon say this is when most of the R&B this year (and for the past 5) has been niggas Moaning over trap beats
R&B right now is targeting the same audience that listens to the shallow trap s*** right now nobody’s better,it’s all subpar
Thanks ima give a spin. Bro this Jamila so fire. How I been sleep?!
