What does it mean do you think? (Can't believe I forgot About return of the mack)
r&b is probably the only genre where young black women are encouraged and allowed to flourish and yet it's probably the most critically neglected genre in 2020. We all love the classics but people like K Michelle, Sevyn Streeter, Teyana Taylor etc who would have been huge stars in the early noughties are now peripheral figures in the pop landscape. Black Lives Matter but let's not consume their work.
The dissensus R&B canon is Timblands work with Aaliyah plus Cassie Me & U.
They're the last two for me really before getting off the rnb bus so to speakI really like K Michelle and Tinashe.
