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.

i really hope the collapse of the pop market for anyone who isn't both a chainsmoker (or connected to one) and under 27 means that his label will stop forcing him to dabble in edm bullshit

new cassie with (blech) g-eazy
https://open.spotify.com/track/4VwX2Ycso2PjDvQA9FbfBp
― 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.
― dyl, Friday, 4 August 2017 16:52 (six years ago) link
there might be! adult r&b is a growing format
― maura, Friday, 4 August 2017 20:56 (six years ago) link
A solo version of that track was originally intended for release so hopefully we get it eventually, the random rapper addition must've happened pretty recently before they premiered it. Like I said in her thread it's smooth and I'm enjoying it a lot but I just hope she doesn't disappear again after this.

maybe i'm wrong but i feel like there's been a major uptick in adult r&b radio stars singing over trap-ish beats this year. not that trend-hopping hits are necessarily good, but if it means more room for male vocalists who don't have thin chris brown-type voices then i can't say i'm opposed.
