I see she was mentioned on this thread already (only mention on ILM). Not saying I love this, but I like her voice and kindof like the whole thing. Could stand a harder sound though obviously a harder sound isn't what they're going for.

Actually, listening to "Leila's Tale" now for the first time and I think I might like that more.

Does Jose James belong in this thread or the reg R&B rolling thread?

Leila's Tale sounds better to me. Production is pretty cool.

Does Goapelle belong in here? Maybe this song belongs in the Sade thread, cos its very Sade like.

that pandr eyez track is pretty amazing

Yeah, I'm loving Pandr Eyez and Goapelle tracks both.

Second J*Davey album finally seeing the light of day later this month. http://soundcloud.com/illav8r/newdesignerdrug
Sounds great on my first run-through. AND HELL YES! "Dollar or More" is finally gonna be out there. I've been waiting for a finished version of that song for almost three years.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
gotta say i had high hopes and feel kinda let down w/ new j davey. compared to the dangerous sexy randomness of the first double-set, it's bland. dang!

Goapele album is waaaaay good. For real.

Dunno the best thread to post this in, since it's maybe a little alt-y for the R&B thread yet it's not really that out there or experimental, but I'm really enjoying the new Nylo EP. The closer, in particular, seems of a piece with the most subdued moments on the new Dawn Richard album

yeah this is real nice. twin shadow affiliated, if that sucks anyone else in. would like to catch her at the pop thing, i don't quite ~get~ the kells theme tho

i'm just gonna put it here before i finish listening cuz it might be of interest - jack davey (of former out there, maybe kinda experimental, maybe kinda pretentious r&b duo j*davey) has been doing solo stuff this year. lo-fi scuzzy garage rock solo stuff. so far i'm...kinda enjoying it!

it's funny to be reminded in "the year of alt R&B" that this stuff still is exists, is often good, and still isn't very big with critics

guess there was brief discussion of this on the Chicago thread. anyways, La Lechera alerted me to this, cuz she knows I am R&B/dance-sympatethic. Not at all sure this belongs on this thread--probably doesn't, in fact--but def feels this might be something that Rev or Tim F might find some enjoyment from:

Denitia and Sene's 'His and Hers' is one of my favorite albums of the year, and this track in particular
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbvMcZVcgzs
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 28 April 2013 07:21 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not sure this is weird enough to qualify but I didn't want to post it in the rolling r&b thread because it's got white people with beards in it and we know how that offends a particular brand of poster. It's from Rare Times' EP "Missionary" which I'm really enjoying. It reminds me of Morgan Geist too.

Those were both dope. I might have to check out that Denitia and Sene album

this shuanise song off the new eglo records comp a) sounds nothing like anything else on it (it's a good little label though), b) blew my mind a bit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqHwqOKQr8k
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 12:00 (eleven years ago) link
Everything I've ever heard with Shaunise on it has been great yet I still have no clear idea who she actually is.

― Studied keyboard mash (tsrobodo), Monday, 24 June 2013 09:40 (eleven years ago) link
that shuanise song is easily the most underrated of the year so far. it's spectacular. i don't know anything about her either.

Is this the thread to discuss Blood Orange? Curious to hear what the regulars think of Cupid Deluxe. The world is so over-saturated with mock Sade these days that I have a hard time getting excited about this sound, but some of these songs are pretty OK.
