that RLUMR single and the Chloe x Halle mixtape are really great! Went back to CxH's EP from last year too and that's terrific too - you can definitely hear a lot of the precision and detail of Bey's s/t in both.

Hmmmm, Bruno Mars...
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 13 April 2017 02:56 (seven years ago) link
i mean, it is an r&b album
the adult r&b station here has been playing his pop hit "that's what i like" a lot lately and it sounds perfectly appropriate right next to mary j. blige's "thick of it" et al so \_(ツ)_/¯

He is successful across many of the charts, true.

Thanks to Lex for the tip-off on the Jacquees & Dej Loaf mixtape – it's very nice.

This is great. Usually singles that double up R&B singers for added star power don't work at all, but here Jeremih and Chr*s Br*wn get a chance to actually harmonize a bit and they really nail it

i put this in the jeremih thread but nobody bit
this song he & yung berg did for justine sky might be one of the best things i've heard this year. maybe it's just cuz i've been listening to teedra moses a lot but i get that kinda vibe here, but also the textures and dueling guy/girl vocals remind me of last train to paris. and the chorus has this whimsical vocal melody that feels very characteristically jeremih to me. great song.

I like the Luke Christopher album OK; it's a little too obviously post-Drake at times (particularly in terms of his flow, which is loose enough that I think the album is appropriate for this thread) but there are a lot of interesting ideas in the music. He's on ByStorm, which is the same imprint Miguel is on.

― maura, Friday, 4 August 2017 14:03 (six years ago) link
love the title line and the production is beautiful
g-eazy unsurprisingly offers nothing but the reminder that the industry sees guest raps as little more than signposts for radio programmers. unfortunately for some reason there probably won't be a maroon 5-esque 'without rap' edit for the ac stations cuz otherwise i'd be seeking it out.
