R&B female singers has been a dying breed since last decade, imo dating back to 2004/2005. We had a handful of them and they couldn't sustain past a year or two. Keyshia made some noise though. Rihanna went on to become a pop cultural phenomenon. The rest fell by the wayside which is sad because they all had potential.

Why did Tiara Thomas leave Wale's label? Did they fallout?

Melanie and Bridget always reminded me of each other
both were Roc Nation light skinned R&B girls with raspy voices
I kinda preferred Bridge though

I feel like if these girls had debuted a few years later they'd at least make it off the mixtape circuit.
no. They wouldn't. :plzstop:

Mediocre material and voices

That's 90% of the gorls out right now. And Elle's music was actually really good, surprised you don't use tbh.

There really are only a FEW gorls who stood the test of time and surpassed their debut eras in music

So glad the Trinity is a part of that number

As I get older I realise was a special moment in time and probably won't be duplicated.

When Sevyn, Jhene and Tinashe started popping I thought R&B was all the way back. But it took Sevyn like 5 years to release an album and it flopped for filth

It truly was special. Like to be black and growing up at that time>>

Girls being able to see themselves at the top of the charts, breaking records and crossing over into film and TV
Just epic all around

I feel bad for the girls out now because they don't even get afforded the same opportunities


I hope R&B get mainstream support again soon

People Like Sevyn, Tinashe, June's Diary, etc deserve that shot
