boring! sing something else and sales will go up! promise!
everyone was raving about how edgy Tinashe's album was and she did abysmal numbers with her debut as well..
and she delivered what is definitely considered a more progressive R&B sound.

how long are we gonna keep putting the blame on the artist?

h

Nashe's makes great music, but honestly when is the last time an artist stormed the charts on their debut album, white or black?

n

There's no reason Tori Kelly's basic mess should be selling over 60 thousand more than tinashe. It's bullshit and I don't even like her damn music

Not debating who flopped harder.

Didn't Tori have a hit? That's awful

omffffffffffffffff

why is it "omffffffffffff" for a dog getting skinned alive and eaten ........but "bon appetit!that bacon looks fresh!  hahahaha im cackling way that pig got SMASHED into the concrete!!" for pigs (same applies for chickens, turkey and cows)? 

do you see how backwards  and odd that is?

g

I said "omfffff" because I was cackling, not because I was disgusted.

   

[Stewie]

yeah ....i believe you

What annoys me soooooooooooooooooooo much is that Urban radio is playing Adele's "Hello" every hour on the hour, when Jazmine Sullivan's music is no different from that, but "Let It Burn" ONLY gets airplay on Urban AC radio. Annoying, I tell ya!

Tori is a new artist and she got an incredible push. She did like 70K im just saying Tinashe should be getting the same support

Thats a mess.

I mean the fact that Tyrese thinks that boring elevator music is the savior of R&B says enough about the state of R&B. It's either stale and Late or morphed into Hip Hops lil brother

The gorls kill me with releasing some boring mess and think they're changing the game.

But a girl like Dawn that does edge it up, doesn't get anywhere NEAR a record deal.
And basic boring girls like Jessie J, Tori Kelly, Ariana Grande get the biggest push imaginable.

[Batwing]

I don't know what the hell is going on. 
You have artists like Dawn, Tinashe, Aiko, FKA twigs, etc releasing gems
back to back and are, virtually, having no notable success.

Honestly, I feel like they're caught in between being too "edgy" for the
average, typical R&B listener, while also being too urban/R&Bish for
the indie/hipster crowd.

These "new wave" R&B artists are just hard to market. Many won't touch
the music because it's still "R&B", and for many R&B listeners... it's not "real"
enough.

As far as the other more streamline R&B artists go, either they're just
past their prime, not releasing anything worth going crazy over or they're
just not putting themselves out there like they should be.

True. Where I live urban radio has played Joe's version, and even a remix version with both of their vocals. Maybe R&B artists should start covering the top pop songs.

The rest of these gorl are trash tho (Rih included tbh)

[FUCK Bey]

Jhene is not a good example. She had insane potential and anticipation, but released that dry ass album. Now she's just a feature girl.

[FUCK Bey]

and tinashe's debut was solid

idk what she's trying to do now but y'all give her too much grief

!!!!

[whatever]

Elle Varner is a little quirky

Refill, cold case love, fuck it all

They don't sound like the typical Monica/Tamar tracks

[GLOCK]

You have artists like Dawn releasing gems
