Women of R&B 2023

[dUb Actually]

Say Less and Don't Even Think About It are my current FAVES BTW

 

[Berly]

This will be tomorrows playlist ty

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I hope this wasn’t supposed to be the follow up Toni collab and she’s backed out. I still need that album!

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

It’s a bit too much early 00s, I was hoping for something more 90s, but Say Less and Keeps On Fallin’ are great on first listen

 

[KindaFestive]

Can't wait to listen when I get home.

 

[KindaFestive]

Also, MORE RECOMMENDATIONS PLZ

 

[KindaFestive]

How the fuck did I not hear about Ella Mai releasing an album back in MAY?!

 

[Jark]

new Kiana Lede with Ella Mai is lovely



@Berly @KindaCool @funky

 

[Jark]

this is the best H.E.R. song in at least 5 years



more grammy noms incoming. the vocals at the end!!!

@Berly @KindaCool @funky @RJN @FetchFugly

 

[RJN]

I can't place what that reminds me of... Probably the most memorable thing I've ever heard by her though

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

Fucking love HER… she didn’t pop up on my radar though so I’ll have to check I’m following her!

Will have a listen tonight.

“Hard Place” remains one of my favourite R&B songs of the last 10 years, and if anyone hasn’t yet seen her tribute to Prince performing The Beautiful Ones yet, do yourself a favour. This girl definitely has IT.

 

[FetchFugly]

That's a very old school big power ballad, and written by Diane Warren too.

 

[dUb Actually]

These ladies deliver EVERY TIME

 

[dUb Actually]

I’m very upset at how low their YouTube/Spotify numbers are

I simply cannot RAVE ENOUGH

 

[dUb Actually]

Shigella has a lot to answer for

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I like that

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

It's like what Lizzo does but less gimmicky

 

[dUb Actually]

Agree! Let’s get them to over 9k streams funks

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I've added them to my car playlist, bear with

 

[KindaFestive]

It's a jam, that's for sure. I wanna be at that party lol Did you see the size of that joint?!

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

Now obsessed with this song that has crept up on me slowly the last few months. I hadn't heard of either Rimon or Rini before this year, now actively following both

Such a SUMMER bop too

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I've been quietly enjoying this new artist this year, and she just dropped an album. "Already Yours" is one of my favourite songs of the year. Fans of the Naked Music neo-soul sounds such as Lisa Shaw and Gaelle will like this.

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

@the pleasure principal

 

[dUb Actually]

In the absence of a Men of R&B thread... this whole video is fabulous but MY GOD the rendition of Can We Talk from 13:40

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

Been a while since we've heard from Keyshia... this is gorgeous Neo-Soul, and a 70s soul lounge throwback.

 

[hallilujah]

Now obsessed with this song that has crept up on me slowly the last few months. I hadn't heard of either Rimon or Rini before this year, now actively following both

Love this. Going straight on my summer playlist. Sultry

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I love the lyrics to it and the way she sings it

Sip on that Pina Colada
He got that bucket hat Prada
Rhythms by Carlos Santana

 

[dUb Actually]

EXTREME levels of 90s r&b slow jam

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

That's not bad but @dUb let me tell you how much the previous single has grown on me... OMG I fucking love it. Those 90s harmonies over the 80s production is EVERYTHING

 

[dUb Actually]

Yessssssssssssss isn’t it brilliant

Whenever they play some tiny venue in London, we must attend

 

[Pipolar Express]

Came here expecting some Doechii only to find myself DISAPPOINTED.

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

Neo-soul kween Leela James has released a second track in as many months and I hope it means a new album is coming. Love this

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

And Muni Long with a late 90s / early 00s sounding R&B ballad

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Neo-soul kween Leela James has released a second track in as many months and I hope it means a new album is coming.

27th October for the album

 

[dUb Actually]

New album from these THROWBACK R&B QUEENS!

 

[dUb Actually]

This one!!

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

I'm enjoying this... I dismissed the single "Upside Down" as a bit run of the mill but it has got under my skin in a big way - definitely a grower. The album is the usual mix of retro R&B and trend chasing R&B and as always I prefer the former. Best tunes are Upside Down, Ego, High, Pretty and The Way.

Takuta and Solo are the big tunes on there and will appeal to a younger crowd. I prefer her groovy stuff.

 

[Cobfort and Joy]

Obsessed with this:

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

New songs from two of my faves... they're both nice but they haven't popped yet... holding out that they will, both artists often release understated growers...

 

[I Saw Funky Kissing Santa Claus]

And I'm quietly obsessed with that Shay Lia album now.
