Why aren’t black listeners supporting new R&B artists with potential?

I listened to it when it dropped but wasn't feeling it outside of a couple of songs. As I get older I can't help but take notice of songwriting, and the writing on a/s/l is :unimpressed:Ari's songwriting in general is a lil bland sometimes.

Music just is in a big rut right now.

I do mess with this tho

It’s a really good album. I think people are just sleeping on it. She will do well on tour.

this sounds like prime baduh
Thats part of the problem. Nobody wanna hear a bootleg erykah badu. Badu got better and stronger vocals as well.

I like the pressure record. but the rest of the album is mid and just not that good. She is a decent singer for this generation but cant hold a candle to singers from the 90s and early 2000's so thats why rnb heads aint checking for her. Plus she cuss too much like others have said.

Wild part is if this artists decides to go a route to sell more records you'll have lames in here saying there was an illuminati blood sacrifice. :gucci::gucci::gucci::gucci:

People make excuses. Worst artists are loved more. It is what it is. Good luck to this young lady though. I think she’s talented.

The responses in this thread are interesting......goes back to my point that it doesn't matter what good comes out of this generation. Dudes would rather complain than give props. How pathetic.

Making pseudo-Jill and Erykah neo-soul pieces isn't it, we can just listen to them instead.

Maybe if GenZ had a better staple of musicians, songwriters, and proficient producers, the quality of music would be in a better state.

Neo-Trap Soul isn't it...
