Im Sorry, But As A 32 Year Old Man....THIS Is What R&B Sounds Like To Me

[DMGAINGREEN]

the thing is, there may be another "Luther" out there somewhere, but there's no incentive to making that type of music anymore. If a young, aspiring singer wants to make it in music today, he or she LITERALLY has to make stripclub music. Take Trey Songz for example. He's highly talented and a great singer to me, but alot of his music caters to the club. He HAS to make that type of music to get radio play and remain relevant. Usher and even Tank has fell victim to this also:





Like i said,there's no INCENTIVE to making soulful ballads anymore. A few cats may be able to gather a following and be able to make a living off of their music, but for the most part singers today have to make "club" music to gain a fanbase.

I'm still in disbelief that Tank compose something so despicable like that ... shyt is just void of soul as if the devil possessed him

yea, i was HIGHLY disappointed when i heard that joint. Not a horrible song but i couldnt believe that he would "sell-out" like that:

A lotta dope R&B been dropping lately that isn't in the Partynextdoor/Tiller/Weeknd lane. I know it sucks that its not what's pushed to the forefront but you gotta stop listening to the radio, only so many times you can make this thread, just sounds like you're punishing yourself.

R&B is what I mostly listen to beside acid jazz and house. I could post songs for days.

R&B these days is just like rap back in the now you have to search for it

I remember when all these songs were new on the radio90-04 wonderful time to be alive

All these new "r&b" cats dont do anything for me. Its not R&B that i know it to be. TO ME, R&B sounds like this:









Take note of the spirit and energy of the songs posted.

If i hear a so-called R&B song and it sounds like Drake, Lil Wayne or 2Chainz is about to start rapping at any moment.....ITS NOT R&B. If there's a certain amount of vulgarity (i prefer none period) its not R&B. I dont know what yall call this new stuff, but its not R&B in my book. I want my R&B music to exude sensuality and love. I want my R&B singers to express their love for women. And above all else, I want my R&B singers to actually SING!!!!!

-> THIS!!! <-
