R&B Thread Genre • Page 54

Really liked this.

 

Hard for me to narrow down my top artists of any genre, especially this one which has SUCH a diverse range of sounds and influences, but I’ll give this a shot. Ended up being way more than five, but oh well. Here it is in no particular order...

Erykah Badu
How to Dress Well
Maxwell
Blood Orange
Mary J Blige
Ginuwine
JMSN
D’Angelo
Anderson .Paak
Jeremih
Janelle Monae

this is also constantly changing because there is still so much of this genre that’s as of yet undiscovered by me

 

all-time?? er uh

marvin gaye
al green
janet jackson
eddie kendricks
chaka khan
imagination
maxwell
aaliyah
erykah badu
dawn richard

yeah there was no way i could keep it to five

 

That Rochelle Jordan song came up on a daily mix and it's soooo goooood. That lane of, idk, house-influenced R&B(?) is right up my alley. Need a new Kelela record.

 

I’m more of an album rather than artist guy when it comes to R&B, but Mariah Carey is definitely one of my favorite artists of all time. Among the newer ones, I really love Kehlani.

 

All time

D’Angelo
Erykah Baduh
Maxwell

More recently

Jamila Woods
Kadjha Bonet
Moses Sumney
Erika de Casiar

 

This thread got me revisiting Maxwell’s discography and it’s seriously just impeccable. Embrya in particular is a hell of a mood, might be my fave of his.

 

Also shouts out to Jamila Woods. All her stuff is incredible, especially that last record.

Also if her new album turns out as good as Ctrl, I might want to add SZA to my list.

 

I also really love the Cleo Soul album, and her work with Sault.

 

Maxwell is a neo soul blindspot for me. Need to really give him a proper listen.

 

He's one of the best for a reason. Excited for you to check him out.

 

found a rather underrated rnb artist recently, check out A.G. Sully's new album, really tasteful stuff

 

Hot take GOATS of forever and recent off the top of my head:

-An artist I’m pretty sure is a pedophile and no longer praise-
Boys II Men
Marvin Gaye
Jagged Edge
112
Keith Sweat

Anderson .Paak
Frank Ocean
Usher
Beyoncé
The Weeknd
Alicia Keys
Ne-Yo (not only for his own work but the insane amount of hits he’s written)

 

Those were all huge for me too yeah, but not always their whole discography

 

New record from Erika de Casier - like 90's R&B vibes mixed with Sade

 

Hahahahaha, ughghghgh; yeah I just entered the thread at page 1 and posted it there, without going all the way to the end and seeing if anyone posted it yet

About halfway through it now; can't tell if I like it more than the 1st album, which I really liked

 

I gotta admit, I've always just found Leon Bridges solo stuff to be solid, but overall not super exciting or intriguing to me, but this is the first song of his that I really like.

 

New Greentea Peng is really good

 

People are sleeping on Ann Marie

 

Kinda confusing there's a very popular singer named Anne-Marie

 

this is the best H.E.R. song in a while
