The 702 thread had me thinking
In the 90s, it was nothing for a label to find a talented group of young black singers, get them in the booth, put a video or two on VideoSoul and have them go gold/platinum
Obviously, we've seen the wave of these groups die off, the theories as to why are abundant.
But my question is this: with the advent of streaming bringing the music industry a whole new check again, plus seeing how old R&B groups can still tour around the world and do HUGE numbers (XSCAPE IS SELLING OUT ARENAS IN 2017) could labels begin investing in R&B music again? Will we start hearing #BlackLove anthems on the radio?
