I can never get into the soulless, whispering, nasally R&B of today. Plus they sound indistinguishable. I hear a Kehlani song and thought it was Summer Walker or SZA singing. Not to mention, today’s acts are also so boring. I tried to like Her, Coco, and Ari. But the music isn’t great.

As for the guys like Brent and even Tory, I could never get into them. But, I like to give the women a chance.
The indistinguishability artistically is interchangeability from a business standpoint. Labels can flood the market, whatever takes hold for the moment that can be replaced later by a similar style or product is the model from the top down. You think labels 'bout to fund this:



And let the trends get away from the market? Demographic-specific metrics ain't what the fast-product era is about.
