DISCUSSION 💭 phyllis hyman should have been marketed like sade before sade

Post image
254 Upvotes

i love sade (as a band and individual) and phyllis so could’ve done that sort of thing! idk why clive davis didn’t just her a band or something and let her be a jazz-pop-soul singer instead of trying to make her a pop diva. she had the alto voice, the beauty, and the experience of fronting a band. it sucks how obvious the way to market her was for clive to not do it. imo, her best album is living all alone because it’s closest to what she should’ve been all along musically. and especially her doing something sade-ish back in the ‘70s before sade came on the scene? oh sis would’ve TORE.

As a gen z kid, I've never been big on Mary J. Blidge. She was more of my parents love. But whenever I hear people call her overrated or trash her I'm quick to defend her. She's never one of my favorites but J Blidge is a very good if not great artist and has her fair share of bangers.

DISCUSSION 💭 Is "Living for the City" → "Golden Lady" the greatest back-to-back sequence in R&B history?

26 Upvotes

Think about it: Stevie ends "Living for the City" with that raw, almost suffocating tension, the spoken scene, the arrest, that ragged vocal at the end. And then "Golden Lady" comes in like a sunrise. Pure harmonic lightness and romance.

It's the punch and the embrace, one right after the other. Few artists could pull off that emotional turn without it feeling disconnected.

What sequence beats it?

HELP ME/QUESTIONS ⁉ Hey Lambs which MC Album is the most RnB influenced album of Mc?

4 Upvotes

I was listening to jhené aiko and summer walker recently, and their music really trigger me to cry which I needed. So I was wondering which album got the same effect by mariah carey?

I got butterfly, charmbracelet, e=mc and emancipation of mimi, but I feel like each album got like 2 sad soft rnb songs and the majority are more upbeat and happy house or hiphop pop music
 and I get bored listening to only „breakdown“ 😭

HELP ME/QUESTIONS ⁉ Is Mary Davis singing with The S.O.S. Band this summer?

‱ Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Old R&B head here. I was at Epcot in 2015 and got a selfie with her when she stepped out into the crowd.

The S.O.S. Band will be performing in the Masters of Funk Tour in my town later this summer. Their Wikipedia page says she retired but still sometimes performs with the band.

I only want to go to the show if she is performing. Does anyone have any insight?

Thank you.
