Put me on to some new good R&B

[NormanConnors]

He sounds like Frank Ocean. I'ma hit up Datpiff right now

EDIT

Datpiff doesn't even have his tapes.......nvm

James Fauntleroy was out before Frank, Frank actually sounds like him, he was hiding initially writing for cats like Chris Brown, find as much as you can on him

 

[Insensitive]

Don't Sleep on my boy Bj The Chicago Kid








@TrapHouse Rock for mentioning Steven A. Clark

Not necessarily true, in fact they came onto the scene around the same time.

It's not exactly clear when Frank Ocean first met Tricky Stewart but he like Fauntleroy made a name writing for other artists though he was signed to the Def Jam as an artist not a writer.

This as far as I can tell is Franks earliest writing credit which was back in 08 when Fauntleroy first made his bones.

Michael Kiwanuka










Miles Bonny

John Legend - Quickly (feat. Brandy) - YouTube

fair enough, can't really argue that. Both of those cats put in some good work

The Weeknd

 

[Buckeye Fever]

melody is the key.

I dont wanna hear R&B artists singing over breakbeats or some shyt GZA would rap over.

I like pianos, strings, some nice soothing sounds, and CLEAN lyrics.

I swear, I need me a record label. I'd bring TRUE R&B back.

The 90s did that R&B/Hip-Hop fusion CORRECTLY. nikkaz nowadays need to take notes.

Half these nikkaz can't sing nowadays. Most male R&B artists nowadays are just rappers with soft ass voices.

Keith Sweat
Johnny Gill
Al B. Sure
Faith Evans
El Debarge

The new Solange EP leaked today. So far it's pretty cool.

Like Frank Ocean

But his songwriting, lyrics, and concepts make up for it

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Jon B released a album in February - it's pretty good- except he tries to rap on one song

 

[Canada Goose]

The new Solange EP leaked today. So far it's pretty cool.

That's Beyonce sister right?

 

[thaKEAF]

@Hiphopfan456 yup

 

[Danie84]

forgive me for not mention Chrisette Michele

Get I Am and Epiphany asap.

Think of the R&B you love growing up on mixed with a little of jazz.

at Def Jam for derailing her last project and trying to make her pop.
