A lot of good rnb and soul out there it's just not mainstream similar to rap. Gotta actually dig for it

Okay so something like Igor is the sound, right?

Jorja did put out some new new, I gotta peep. I gotta get into the xx, I only remember Jamie from the Good Times song with Thug (amazing btw). James is amazing, Barefoot In The Park probably my fav song from him.

It’s alright. None of these new rnb niggas are on Miguel or Jeremih’s level

I'm talking about the subject matter where singers would openly show romance and love for each other. There was more intimate love songs or slow jams in the past compared to today.

Right there with you

the problem w dark r&b is it just got stripped back to the most formulaic s*** w artists not even having great voices

This one of the only people who truly did it well

exactly

u real for Gallant

Wait. Jeremih has a level? Damn...mainstream R&B fell off that much today?

Good thing there's a lot of amazing artists in the Indie scene.

When "the vibe" and aesthetics became more important than the actual vocal talent is when s*** started going south.

Damn shame forreal, R&B production has been great but all these new singers be doing that breathy sing-talkin bullshit about getting cheated on is just too much.

Like damn, at least the people singing about getting cheated on and done dirty back in the day you can actually hear that pain and emotion in their vocals. These days they be sounding so whatever about it. As if they do not care. And if they do not care, why should I care to listen?

Today's RnB is s***

JMSN>Jeremih

I'd say Brent Faiyaz & Giveon as far as popularity goes. They've been on a nice, consistent run.

Igor honestly more pop than r&b imo

Just dont listen lol

It's great but if you're gonna compare everything to f***ing U DON'T HAVE TO CALL then yeah you'll be underwhelmed

The xx are amazing

Less r&b now but if you like house music at all jamie xx is absolutely unbelievable

Barefoot in the park is so good rosalia ate that s*** up

Summer's the one fr. Her feature on Shelley fka DRAM's album is INCREDIBLE. Def excited for her next

Brent can't sing and his voice I just can't get past

IMO

Giveon is awesome though

It'll be wild in 15 years someone will bring this up and talk about how music used to be way better back then

Oh yeah I get you. Maybe i chose my words wrong. I’m talking about the angsty, depressed simp vibes we got today. Back then it was just emotional but not “off” if you get me.

He's okay but little overhyped

You stan Blxst and say brent can’t sing bro
