The problem with Current R&B is that everyone makes slow boring songs. We need music You can step to

You by Lloyd is forever a high school classic

 

[Dynamite James]

Wrong on both counts since the bass is INXS' "Need You Tonight" and the song is a mix of RnB, electropop/funk, and disco.​

“I need you tonight”could have been based on the songs I mentioned too. I actually hear the similarities now that you mentioned it lol

I like the beat and the background vocals on this

 

[Dynamite James]

This is a better example

This song I am a fan of

I was just listening to these last night on my playlist before going to sleep and wanted to bust out dancing:



















That 90’s shyt was just pure God-tier level

Prime example of low energy

That song was flames.

That song was flames.

Low energy songs have their place. I’m pointing out that it seems everyone is doing the same style

Here’s some current/recent R&B music that got some of that high energy shyt:

Let's talk about the fact that if somebody made an album of what you claim to want, you wouldn't buy it

This bullshyt ass thread again… I don’t even bother to post music anymore, but y’all aren’t really fans of R&B if you can’t find something new you like. Spotify will steer you in the right direction if you have decent taste.

60s/70s heads shytted on 90s R&B just like you’re attempting to do. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. Music evolves. It’s not supposed to sound exactly like 25 years ago.

Top 3 comments ITT.

Bruno Mars made a whole new Jack swing album and nikkaz hated on it cause he wasn’t black

If they were oldhead nikkas, they were prolly the same nikkas who absolutely HATED on New Jack Swing during its original run within every single fabric of their being

What is to blame for the current sound?

Singers tryna copy Abel's moody,savage wave?

I’ve always assumed it was either him or Bryson that was the archetype of the current soundscape and downtempo visualization in R&B.

Thundercat is one of the rawest I've even seen on the bass. I can play a regular 4-string. Those 6-string joints intimidate me lmao

Most off the stuff posted is just Hip-hop beats with borderline crap singing. And producers not understanding how to produce RnB/Soul.
