Post a dope R&B album from the past ten years

[m_dejean]

I??m on the fence with Spacek. I feel like a lot of his stuff is just okay and a little too much on the minimal off kilter future soul steez. But I never checked his album though

I hear you on that, but give "Spaceshift" a listen. That album is hot IMO. It's still got that minimal weirdo soul feel, but it creeps up on you. I find myself revisiting that album a lot. I've got "Curvatia" (the debut) too, but it doesn't get nearly as many spins.

Listening to this now. This album is dope.
Ya'll mofo were right!!! This shit is on some 8.5 shit!!! That Saadiq collabo is beautiful.

I never really got into her. I thought Amel was sort of the epitome of snoozy new soul.

As far as Teedra, she??s from the Town and I haven??t heard from her since that track she did with Raphael Saadiq ?? want you back. The producer for her album is dope, I wonder what else he has done.

Man, I still haven??t checked out Dwele??s first joint ??Rize??.

Amel's firts album Infinite Possiblities is heat, but she's ventured into some Biege Soul for her latest stuff. Experimental Jazzatronica FolkSoul...

The first Brandy set. Strong songs and she sang the crap out of them.
Erykah's stuff has been really patchy after her first set. "Clever" is nice though.
Jill Scott - "Who Is?" and "Beautifully Human" coe sign. That live set stinks.
Conya Doss - "Just Because"
Brown Baby Girl (ST)
Chaka's "Funk This" has some niceness to it, esp. "Ladies Man".
DWELE!
Frank McComb's stuff.
Gary Taylor - "Retro Blackness" (gets samey though)
Ledisi "Feeling Orange, Sometimes Blue"

I class Lewis Taylor's "Lewis II" set as R&B. Don't sleap.
Me'Shell - "Bitter" is too melancholy for me, but "Plantation Lullabies" and "Peace Beyond Passion" have some sublime music on them.
Tasha's World (ST) - I think she is Dutch but it's as good as anything else.
Vivian Green - Vivian

Adriana Evans - nice but nothing special. She seems to have managed to move her hands a few inches between albums though, so progress on the paralysis front.

Zhane - too old?

I believe you meant to say the song "Caution" is your shit .

 

[joeblow]

damn, i just grabbed a copy. very nice! anyone got one at more than 128k? my torrent game is weak these days.

You could probably get a used CD for like $4

I was buying the 12s when they came out, and found the CD already cheap as hell when it was practically a new release - maaaaad slept on

Y'all know about the b-side only joint w/the "Guess Who's Back" beat??

I remember this thraed. This thraed needs an update. Update this thraed!

Current top 5 (in order of greatness):
Franke Oceane - Blonde
Ty Dolla $ign - Free TC
Fatima - Yellow Memories
The-Dream - Love vs. Money
Solange - A Seat At The Table

I'm definitely forgetting stuff from the mid-to-late 00s. Just for reference, B'Day dropped in late 2006


BTW whatever happened to j*davey? Did you know that Craig David made a comeback???

Will anyone ride for a full Bieber album? Deej?? Faux Rillz???

Cassie, from like 10 years ago, last year out on wax for the first time, been on heavy rotation arround here since..

Nice - I hadn't actually heard that (apart form the single) the first time around. I'll check it. Looks like a heavy Ryan Leslie deal, which reminds me that his self-titled album was pretty good IIRC.
