Would y'all consider Frank Ocean's Channel Orange as a neo soul album?

Three people in this thread talking about needing a new Bilal album when his last joint came out less than 2 years ago.

Tells me everything I need to know.

To me it did lean more toward soul than r&b. But no, I wouldn't call it a neo soul album. Wouldn't be mad if someone did. I want to know, do you feEl it's a neo soul album

I'd say yes, although there are some tracks on it I wouldn't call neo soul for the most part it is.

Got a lot of sex in them days off of a neo soul mix and some good weed.

Cuz I feel ya...

I had an incredible run from 96-04.....

 

[Jone2three45]

The brothers and sisters over in Europe really started it off.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

This shyt will never come back tho...

It resonates with us on a higher frequency...........They don't want that

[Poitier]

These brothers and sisters from Europe had a hand in starting Neo-Soul.

Loose Ends, Soul II Soul, Sade, Massive Attack (I know its trip hop) etc

Are UK bruhs and brehettes so underrated

 

[Data-Hawk]

I'm waiting for the RnB group movement to come back as well.

They'll just call it POP music..

I can't tell the difference between rap and RnB nowadays.

can't wait for the death of hip-hop
