Her voice is very unique and her songwriting and guitar skills are great too. I feel like she’s very under appreciated. Any other fans here?

Anyone else digging the old school vibe on this one? Incredible!

Don't get me wrong, I think Tori Kelly, Durand Bernarr (actual beast), Yebba, Gene Noble, etc. are all incredible vocalists but their voices don't affect me in the same way that Mariah, Whitney, Aretha, Luther, MJB's, and Donny Hathaway's voices move me so much, they can all give me goosebumps and bring me to tears. They all have such exquisite tones and convey so much emotion with their voices. It's not that the newer vocalists are bad by any stretch at all but I am just not moved in the same way. I can think of one exception to this for me: Cleo Sol.

The closest that it gets to that, for me, would be Keke Wyatt, Le'Andria Johnson, and Jazmine Sullivan, all of whom are, to me, mind blowing vocalists, but they have all been around for a while now so it's difficult to consider them new. Is there anyone new that really moves you when they sing?

I don't know if it's just tone and delivery or if it's also production as well. Or maybe it's that when I was younger I was more emotionally affected because I was hearing those incredible voices for the first time. Those singers continue to move me but the newer ones don't. What are your thoughts? If you can recommend any singers who have emerged in the last 5-10 years that really move you, I'd be interested to hear who that is for you. As I said , the one exception for me here is Cleo Sol.

John has been on a bit of a down trend with me personally, as I haven't found any of his recent albums anything to write home about. His last legit good album was Love in the Future all the way back in 2013, and to be fair, that album was a masterpiece and is one of the most criminally overlooked R&B albums of the 2010s. But everything since then has been average at absolute best, and some of the albums have been outright boring (Darkness & Light, and Legend). As of lately, John seems to have kinda ditched his traditional R&B/Soul sound for a more Pop/Lounge music sound on the last few albums, and they just aren't connecting with me like his earlier albums did.

All that said, I do have a little hope for this new album, mainly because Pharrell is the executive producer on the project, and I think Pharrell could bring him back to the R&B side of things. Pharrell is one of the best R&B/Hip Hop producers of the last 30 years, so getting a full album of John Legend over some Pharrell production could be a return to form for John, but we will see...

Anyone gonna check out John Legends Muse album tomorrow?

Tinashe’s new album is really good. This is my favorite song off the album.

Rest in piece I loved hearing this on VH1 Soul and wouldnt be able to sing it cause my fam was homophobic & it was for gurls hahahaha 💕✨💕✨🎶✨🎶✨!! .

New album confirmed coming November 13th called legendary love

Curious what yall think and why?

Originally recorded (and written) by Bryan Adams.

I was listening to Faithfully again, and “You Gets No Love” still goes OFF. 😭 Faith sounded so good on that song, but I’ve always preferred the music video version. I’m sorry, but Diddy and Loon were not needed on the album version. The video version just hits better to me, and I wish that was the one they put on the actual album.

“Burnin’ Up” is another one I love, and I prefer the video version of that song, too. I also have a soft spot for “I Love You” and “Can’t Believe” with Carl Thomas. There’s a lot to like about this album, and considering it reached No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, it definitely had an audience when it came out.

I don’t think Faithfully is necessarily forgotten, but it doesn’t seem to get the same attention as Faith’s debut or Keep the Faith. I’d be interested to hear how people feel about it now, especially those who were listening when it first dropped.

How do y’all feel about this album today? And what your top 3 favorite songs from this album.

• "Hey Ladies" was written with Kandi Burruss & Kevin Briggs. Kevin Briggs and Kandi Burruss flew to Houston to work with the group. Together with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson, they crafted "Hey Ladies" alongside other signature hits like "Bills, Bills, Bills" and "Bug a Boo".

• The Writing's on the Wall was structured around relationship commandments. "Hey Ladies" corresponds directly to the commandment: "Thou shalt know when he's got to go." It functions as an empowering call to action urging women to leave toxic, deceitful partners who take them for granted.

• Kandi later shared in interviews that songs like
"Hey Ladies" and "Bills, Bills, Bills" drew heavily from her own past relationships and frustrations, using her songwriting sessions with Destiny's Child as an unfiltered emotional outlet (how ironic what's happening today).

• Along with "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Hey Ladies" showcased the rapid-fire, syncopated vocal delivery and bouncing acoustic guitars that defined Kevin's late-'90s production and became a foundational trademark of Destiny's Child's vocal identity.

• All four original members-Beyoncé, Kelly, LeToya, and LaTavia-share official songwriting and backing vocal credits on the track, recorded during the intense three-week Houston sessions before the lineup shifts in early 2000.
