SZA's voice is permanently injured

[brownsugah]

Breh Brandy isn’t part of the convo cause they’re all variation of her (all these hoes) and her phrasing style. see: full moon

Point is none of these hoes is can really sang. That wasn’t an issue with our black queens 20 years ago. now our women can’t even outsing above average cacs.. that’s the problem. Not enough talent and skill. A pretty tone and nice branding doesn’t compensate for run of the mill singing that any crooner on the street could emulate.​

I never said she was.. but based on what you wrote in the thread I made in the Booth a week or so back, I was thinking that you had much more sense than that. As someone who talks about vocals and technique, your post about just seems interesting to me.

Yeah, most of these newer artists can’t sing, but I feel that H.E.R. is an exception to that rule. And she’s one of the select few that can actually sing live and sound just as good as she does on the record. She has a nice soulful tone and her harmonies are great. JoJo and Tori can sing of course, but I feel like their music isn’t as “soulful” as H.E.R.’s stuff and that’s what places the latter above the 2 former for me.

I think we agree on the same things. You’re jus put off about my abruptness.. As an instrumentalist/singer I look for certain things that casual ears won’t catch and that’s ight cause people like what they like. Singers like Her are golden in the studio because it plays on her strengths, but on live


I hear a sweet, but soulful tone and a nice ornamation
Not gone lie her pitch is surprisingly really good though she’s a notch or two above those girls

Someone of her style that actually shows formidable prowess would be Tiffany Evans

Shut your dumb ass up. Y’all ears jus used to mediocrity .. none of those girls can really sing like that.

The same dude that tried to act like Monica can’t sing all that good...you can’t talk, breh. Lol.

Chill.

Tiffany Evans is very underrated to me. I love her voice too, and wish she had more exposure/attention.

For someone who seems to have a decent ear for vocal talent (obviously) to have this opinion on H.E.R.’s vocal ability is interesting to me, but different strokes for different folks... I guess.

Monica the billy goat is yodeling on the hills somewhere
Ya’ll ain showing me anything that puts these new RNB chicks over canon fodder SoundCloud singers in terms of skill set


Um supposed to be Chillen yet you up in arms about valid comments that I made that you’ve yet to dismantle breh

I like H.E.R moreso for her musicianship and knack for melody and setting a mood ..that’s really hard to do from an artistic point and the way she’s able to connect that to her songwriting is dope. I’m not a hater.. as a realist though my circles are based on immensely talented singers

Aside from her voice being pretty she doesn’t do anything out of the ‘ordinary’ on a vocal front or anything that makes me be like damn this bytch can really blow

I don’t know why the vocal talent pool isn’t being accessed there are some crazy talented singers out there man..you’re right though breh different strokes for different folks. I can respect it

I like SZA's album but I've never seen a good live performance from her. It's hard to respect an artist that can't perform their own music live.

H.E.R makes good music too but as a vocalist I've never heard her do anything special.

 

[GetSomeMoney]

I never fukked wit her like that to begin with. She’s like an industry/gimmicky version of so many real female Alternative R&B singers of today. Listen to Gwen Bunn, Amber Strother (from the group KING), and Syd, just to name a few.

Syd is trash, I wish people would stop hyping her up, she is boring as fukk

 

[Neuromancer]

never saw the appeal

 

[Bmezy]

..let’s put it this way, what era of urban/RNB music did you have males out singing their female counterparts



-crickets- so why is it happening now.. even the mid 00s gave us Fantasia, Jennifer and Jazmine

Why do we have my boy tank, a male tenor ethering whispering hoes with casual freestyle ..

 

[HookersandIceCream]

SZA breh she’s related to GZA and RZA

Ol' Dirty b*stard, Inspectah Deck
