It's a lot of good soul, r&b, and neo soul out there. It just doesn't have the promotion behind it.

Ledisi, goapele, Jill Scott, maxwell, Robert glasper, amongst others in their peer group, are always solid
Sir put out two amazing projects in the last ~12-18 months
Bj the Chicago kid
Xavier Omar
Sango
JMSN
Ari Lennox
Her
Lion babe
Gourdan banks
Ro James
Yuna
Nao
Sylo norza
Sabrina Claudio
Chris mclenney
Sevyn
Ella mai


Of course sza, solange, Miguel, paak, gambino

Edit: more people need to give smino a look, if you like paak you'll likely enjoy smino's blkswn

like if tune or thugger had a lifetime of vocal/musical training
but were still livewires
skill alone is pointless if you don't possess the wave

we need pac with soul vocals
rap is cool but singing is to literally become a living musical instrument
see the way cats are naturally seeking melodies refine that instinct

most people don't live at a pace that vibes with soul music
the club culture constantly overstimulated hyperactive life needs discord and sped up bpms

artist have to take a lifetime and put it into sound to really make soul stirring music
today folk don't want that when you can take one summer learning how to program microwaved beats

and the artists who do try to get in the soul lane are the nerds seeking haven
we need those at the center of the social influence to also be the ones seeking enlightenment/perfection through sound

Exactly and most women even the 'good non ratchet ones" are not into being courted or romanced or inuendos these days

They see it as "game"

Game being run by Simps

They just want u to get to the point

ARE WE FUKKING OR NOT? cause I got Shyt to do

Wish all this music that we have to find now was more popular but ut us what it is


Yeah, I don't know why this thread was bumped, but we continued this discussion here...

R&B Heads: Sabrina Claudio - Unravel Me (Official Video)

I admitted I was wrong for sleeping on this new wave of R&B, but a lot of this shyt gets no promotion when it's some of the absolute best music being made right now.

BTW, I'm damn near a H.E.R. stan now.

That song you posted is my shyt.

I fukks with everything I've heard from her HEAVY.
