Idk how well she can actually dance but I say this as someone with a habit of remixing dance videos-- Her movements are right on top of the drums/guitar. I try to "listen" for while watching. Not too many ghost notes to make it fluid.

I have no idea who this is but being light skinned in music ain’t a cheat code anymore. Just look at Tinashe
Christina Milian, Mya, Faith Evans, Ciara, Ashanti. See how short lived their careers were? None of them had a career by their third albums (or at least not at the same height from the start).

The only ones who have true longevity and are light skinned are Beyonce, Rihanna and Alicia Keys.

Outside of them, 95% of successful R&B/Neo Soul acts haven’t been lightkskined. I’m not saying colorism doesn’t play a part in crossing over, but the fact so many have failed even when they fit “Eurocentric standards” proves there’s way more to it than that.

Her pen not even all that lol

Crazy the support she gets when CoCo Jones and Ari Lennox get overlooked

SZA and Summer Walker had to get their body done and faces remixed to get on
nikka what support? U nikkas acting like she some type of superstar. Ari Lennox is annoying af and she does more traditional rnb which ain’t hot no matter who’s doing it. I’m tired of this goofy ass shyt man. Summer Walker had her body done since she stepped on the scene. bytch used to be a stripper. She’s horrible to her fans and she STILL got hot.

None of these singers today are good. Idc, idc. Sza, Summer, K-whatever her name (the light skin chick with all the tattoos), etc sound the same and can barely sing. They don’t have any real showmanship nor vocals. So no, this ain’t no light skin privilege, because you have darker skinned chicks on the same ish. Just a bunch of subpar mofos. Even the the “more” talented ones like Coco and Victoria Monet have no real star power like the talent of yesteryear. Sad. We need to bring back the Church, kids need to be studying the Winans, The Commissions, The Clarkes on top of Motown acts and the likes.

I think Coco Jones can really sing but her music don't be hitting and I think it's cuz there are currently no good R&B producers or song writers

What type of goofy person says, “light skin privilege”.

Thats that Gen X type talk. shyt is stupid. I remember when Kobe told Clarkson, stop acting/ballin like a light skinned ninja.
:mjlol:
Gen C and millennials understand the stupid comments, but that shyt should be left in the past. We PAWGin, PAAGin and women are having babies with white men now. We are beyond colorism in the 2000’s.
:pachaha:
