I wish I liked R&B more. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to listen to rap, and all I got is this dude to listen too![]()

^^^^^r&b on a commercial level is dying. On the indie level, there are plenty of incredible artists making r&b.
The problem is, we traditionally judge genres based on their commercial representation. When we say _____ is dead, we're literally only talking about the "popular" artists.
too smoothThis era of R&B is not gonna make anybody a fan of the genre. 70's R&B is probably the best era for black music. Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Teddy Pendergrass, Bobby Womack. A lot of classic stuff.
My dad use to play classics, so I grew up on R&B... especially Bobby Womack. So it was a natural progression for me to mess with The Weeknd, whether I wanted to conform from the 90's or not.This era of R&B is not gonna make anybody a fan of the genre. Only new R&B artist I listen to is Weeknd, BJ The Chicago Kid and Frank Ocean. 70's R&B is probably the best era for black music. Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Teddy Pendergrass, Bobby Womack. A lot of classic stuff.
All I listen to these days that is considered R&B is:
PARTYNEXTDOOR
Majid Jordan
The Weeknd
Yeah I like Miguel based on the songs I heard from him. For some reason though, I could listen to one or two songs forever, and won't listen to their albums until like months later. I can't tell you how many times I heard Weekend Games before I listened to the rest of that tape.Miguels new album is getting really good reviews but i agree with you nothing else is in his lane. Maybe if we get a new Frank Ocean (please don't start that comparison again). But i will never listen to Tyrese (new album out now) Trey Songz, Chris Brown etc. I do like miguel though so maybe i will spotify his album and see if i like it![]()
