You're right. I didn't think of that before, but his voice definitely carries so well. It's so pleasant to listen to 😌❤ I'm surprised OP hasn't mentioned him. He's really great at what he does!
My main gripe with Erro is that for every song like "Picture Perfect", he goes left field with the hip hop shyt. Like breh...stop :francis:

I get dude trying to expand, but stick to hits like The Moon:blessed:

Steve Lacy is only labeled R&B because he’s black, if he was white he’d be put in the alternative rock/pop category
You are correct. Black artists who do genre work outside of R&B and Hip Hop are always shoehorned into them because racists and other small minded ppl don't think we make pop, rock, etc.

Ill never forget a couple months ago when somebody recommended this song as an example of modern day R&B:



I checked it out expecting to hear amazing vocals , runs & adlibs over a sultry and soulful background. :blessed:

But instead I got the opposite. An extremely pop sounding beat with some of the most soulless and amateur sounding vocals you'll ever hear.

Now, it's a cool song and I'm not shytting on the song itself but this is NOT R&B. FAAAAAR from it.

If you consider this R&B I assume you're a 16 year old CAC :yeshrug:


That's probably who recommended it to me now that I think about it.

Bad Habit isnt rnb but its a bop foh
