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

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

― 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.

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

Everything I've ever heard with Shaunise on it has been great yet I still have no clear idea who she actually is.
More from the beached whale school of R&Bhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2EA83HWq70
― 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.

He helped do the only good Sky Ferreira track

I think it's called Chamakay.
I actually quite like a lot of the stuff he's done with female vocalists but Cupid Deluxe was a real bore.

if Solange likes Kelela so much, she should just make a Fade To Mind-produced record too (or even better, hire another like-minded crew of producers and take the same approach).

I have a lot of problems with this whole aesthetic; the biggest is that artists use it as an excuse to disguise thin songwriting. But the one that bothers me the most is the way every artist seems to think its incredibly unique and novel, when in reality the internet is saturated with this stuff

Not sure if this belongs here. Was listening to the Diskotopia label releases the past few days, trying to figure out why they're hyped in a way, and this Fujimoto Tetsuro record stood out after a couple of listens. It's nothing remarkable, but hits a sweet spot of like IDM-versioning Rock the Boat-era Aaliyah.
