"Two of the best R&B/neo-soul albums of the 2000s?" As a Neo-Soul/Alternative-R&B connoisseur, I can't let you get away with such a terribly wrong statement.

What album has she created that is anywhere close to the same planet as the following?:

D'Angelo -- Voodoo
Erykah Badu -- Mama's Gun
Jill Scott -- Who is Jill Scott?
Musiq Soulchild -- Aijuswannaseing
Musiq Soulchild -- Juslisen
Bilal -- 1st Born Second
India.Arie -- Acoustic Soul
India.Arie -- Voyage to India
Floetry -- Floetic
Floetry -- Flo'Ology
The Foreign Exchange -- Leave It All Behind


...and that's just off the top of my head real quick. I could double this list, easily, with some more time. You're reaching hard if you think anything Janelle Monae has ever done is in the same class as any of these albums.

See, the thing about other peoples opinions is that they weigh exactly the same, or even less, when said online. I enjoy all of the albums you listed (maybe not Mama’s Gun as much), but I’d still put it up there.

The arch android is better than all those albums and I love those classics .


Dog what made me love that album even more is when I watched the videos of how they were made .


All live instruments and the process of some of those songs was just amazing .

People don't know shyt about good music .

@Rose Gold pay attention to the strength and fullness of her voice as she goes from whispering to yelling(It's Oh So Quiet.)This little girl can sing most pop singers off the planet. She's a producer too. Pay attention to the how hard Hyper-Ballad's bass slaps. She released that in 1995. She was 20 years of ahead of the curve. She's the fukking shyt. She beats up reporters and shyt, hahaha, Bjork's turns up. Her music and voice are hypnotic, she writes interesting lyrics about universal ideas(for example, Human Behavior.) Pagan Poetry is fukking beautiful. I think Bjork might have a direct link to God. Listen to Pagan Poetry and tell me she's not an angel.











Some RNB singers that are considered queens could not cover a Bjork song, which is why you don't see them doing it. They know who she is, but they're not going to step into her world, because they can't. I'm listening to her catalog as I write this. Her music is like, idunno, I can't describe it. God comes to mind. That's all I can say, honestly, Bjork might be God. LOL.

Finally, Bjork doesn't stop. Her catalog has at least 4 good albums, and she's been dropping good albums since the mid 1990's. Longevity, quality, creativity, & simplicity. She's qualified for the praise I give her.

Ive heard oh it's so quiet as well. Some breh who made a thread long ago on music he likes that isn't hip hop. I'm going to check her albums in order. You see the edit? I like some rock music, mainly the experimental artists like Radiohead. How is she such a good singer? Does this mean she practices more, do today's r&b artists use studio tools for enhancement?

Radiohead's Kid A is a good album. LOL it's funny you said, " I like some rock music" and referenced Radiohead. You're on a good path if Radiohead is one of the few rock bands you like. Keep exploring my G.

I saw the edit. I ask myself the same question. I don't know if someone can be trained to sing well or if they're born with the talent. Maria Callas' teachers said she practiced with every singer in her music school. Callas is arguably the most famous voice of the 20th century. Her voice is hella strong and rangey. Everybody has heard her voice and doesn't know it, lol it's kind of funny. She was a fine ass greek bytch too.

Bjork is a real child prodigy and I own her making records as a child singing Xmas carols in Icelandic.
Everyone in the genre outside of hooverphonic, Beth gibbons and bjork all are low quality trash biter ripoffs.
If it ain't them three singers and the original vocalist healthy in tricky's maxinquaye. The rest of the submissions in the genre suck along with monae adding and included in the low quality suckage.

Bjork is a fukking legend. Army Of Me and You Fall In Love are 2 of my favorite vocal performances ever. She sings the fukk out of those songs. Her range is next level. Monae doesn't have enough talent to set up Bjork's mic stand for a free show. Also, Bjork likes the D.


Peeped this before? Theres more
