I like the Res album
But her making that album must've send a reverberation across the universe because these failed Neo-Soul acts sound like bootleg versions of her but 20 years late
The price of being great

Corporate MórI just don't understand what he means. Explain?
That very soft drum live instruments production but it’s basically just 4 bar loops with no major change in the production
Taking all of neosoul’s quirkness and sanding it down.
lot of cleo sol/inflo content
That said, cleo sol still singing niggas under a table

half s\*\*\*post half true Majority of UK r&B really has been tryna recreate this song.
RT @iamiguel
It's crazy right
They really tryna emulate what she didn't without even realising, I bet they ain't even heard her because they don't do the knowledge
These folks listen to a couple marquee neo-soul acts and never delve deep enough

Just looking back at that some of that list of current r&b esque artists and some of them reminding me why I hate COLORS/Tiny Desk-core musicF**k tom misch, Jordan rakei, mahalia, h.e.r., yussef dayes, CoZ, Inflo, jungle & any act that puts live instrumentation over great ideas
F**k any musician who listened to D'Angelo & Lauryn Hill a couple times & decided to contribute to the milquetoast bedroom-pup bootleg- neo-soul sound that's been going on for the past 10 years
F**k south london r&b, f**k Res for making this sound 23 years ago before all these clowns tried it (but at least she did it first & did it well)
F**k Gilles Peterson's current audience & any R&B act whose main audience is white women with a lauryn hill bedroom poster or 'vibes' playlist

Random but you should check out a book called Unapologetic Expression that tracks the UK Jazz scene and touches on the Neo R&B scene
Both kinda going downhill from overexposure but lot of love in the interviews - 1996 BRL ✊🏿Dec 23, 2024
We getting to the bottom of everything in this thread
Because I love music & I bleed music
I need folks to do the MFing knowledge

Yo chill on Tom Misch though his work with Yussef Dayes is sensational.
Kinda feel you on Jordan Rakei though. I much prefer when he's making house music as Dan Kye. Small Moments was a great album.

she has a real nice voice and some good songs but definitely middling artistically tbh

Freudian one of the best r&b projects of the last 20 years and since then it’s been ehhh outside of cyanide

i love his music but i feel like he got like a statement album in em
maybe Freudian was it, i liked everything he’s put out since though
Dec 23, 2024insertcoolnamehereDISCLAIMER: this list is talking merely vocal ability, this list doesn’t necessarily mean they make the best music
Ari Lennox (seeing her live…yeah she’s holding it down as a voice in the mainstream of R&B)
Muni Long
Ravyn Lenae
Nai Palm (that weird white girl from Australia got the gift bro)
Hol up dijon man what im bugging lolHM: durand bernarr, Leon Bridges, Lucky Daye (i’ll tie em cause while I dont listen to a lot of their catalog, gotta put a man on this list out of fairness and they are exceptionally great singers), that nigga from Children of Zeus, Jacob Banks (peep the new album he dropped), and JHud (would she classify as modern?)
Respectable list

Dec 23, 2024·2 repliesAt the end of the day, y’all just don’t like the fan base. If it was about the music, there’s next to nothing to hate aside from the songs where he sings (cause he’s not the best at that) I understand not liking Chroma like that but to say his music isn’t good at all is mad anti hip hop to me.

I could never put a name to it, but Colors/Tiny Desk-core is the perfect way to put it
Cannot stand that subgenre in modern R&B, it’s so boring it hurts
