Chloe Bailey Says Her Music Is Categorized As R&B Because She’s Black

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

New blacks I tell you
Then will get mad if black people stop supporting them
And this the little unsexy bytch yall clit ride for

 

[Estarossa]

I’ve never even heard her voice…

 

[Windows 91]

Gonna be honest, I can't name a single song of hers. A true pop star will have their music known even by living-under-a-rock nikkas like me. I don't even know what Dua Lipa looks like but I can name several of her songs because she's a mega pop star that gets play everywhere. Chloe not on that kind of level.

 

[Standing on business]

because there is more money in pop.


pop gets you access to all sorts of financial avenues afforded to you that r and b doesnt.



Nature of the audience demographic and their preferences

Yea but if you have a huge hit song it’ll be called a pop song anyway.

 

[Lootha VanDraws]

Every last one of Michael Jackson's albums was an R&B album. He was the King of Pop because his R&B albums were so good, everyone listened to them (popular). Make good music, get "Pop" status.

 

[Eternally Jaded]

To be pop don't you have to be popular first

No.

Hell no.

Just white/white adjacent.

 

[Doobie Doo]

This is how it starts

When it's all said and done, Chloe wants to be around white folks cuz blacks folks hurt her feelings on the internets.They aren't twinz but they the new generation Tia and Tamammy

its not fair to these ladies.


These girls are talented, they came up writing, producing, arranging all their songs. probably still heavily invested in their material today.


If they are making pop music, why should they auto classified as r & b and miss out on money when a white female duo on their level would be getting that next taylor swift pop bag.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

Never change tlr.

she doesn't like it because it's traditionally a genre used to put all black music acts in, regardless of the stylistic elements the said performer has been influenced by and mimics. it's just a label created by critics a long time ago to label black music.

what it does is limit access to markets and audiences that might appreciate her stylings more but sometimes being directly labeled as such will cut you off as people in the industry move in an automated manner.

it's not the association with blackness that's her problem, she's just disappointed with what most non artists accept at some point; people are racist regardless of the art you create. they will attempt to shape your story without much understanding.

But their music is not good. They need a producer to Phil Jackson them to success.

Neither her nor SZA's music crosses over to be pop hits, not to mention that both of their music sounds like they are classified as R&B music.

I’ve posted this many times before but this video sums up how music has always been racially segregated.

Even MJ sprinkled other genres in his music such as Beat It and Dirty Diana

Imagine those winning an R&B award thing is, Mike transcended genres. Chloe — does not so her complaint is pointless
