If the lead singer didnt look like a man I'd put money on it they'd be much bigger. Something about that dike look is a turn off visually....But if she had that same voice and looked like lets say Jhene Aiko they'd be much bigger....Just my thoughts.

They'd be bigger, true, but they've managed to build up a decent fanbase as is just off the strength of the music. Incidentally, Syd's solo album was a huge disappointment. Weak generic lyrics, boring. Wasn't expecting that. They're much better as a group. Best song on there was Insecurities, which actually sounds like an Internet song.

Solange is a fraud.. she stole Tweet whole formula
wouldn't say she stole tweets formula, not like tweet was burning up the charts with it, but yes, parts of her album definitely reminded me of tweet which i don't mind. i love tweet's music so more in that vein is welcome

He definitely did..nikkas slept on his album heavy either cause it didn't have much promo behind it or cause he's an actor. I remember laughing when my girl tried to tell me about it but it's one of the best beginning to end R&B albums this decade like you said.
