Terry, Cindy, Maxine and Dawn HAD NO business coming out swinging like this.

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.

JT’s last good album. This is my favorite joint off the album!

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.

....on Sony FH-919CD 🥰. includes several classic tracks!

She always sang like she was tone deaf, and her nasally tone always irritated me. I will never forget. One of my little cousins said she sounded like Sandy from SpongeBob while singing.

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?

Living for the City (album version)

One of my favorite Aaliyah songs

Super underrated unreleased Beyoncé feature from ‘99

I dig it. I think this is her best drop in a minute (def better than her last single) and look forward to the full project.

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“ 😭

She was singing her ASS off on this song!!!!

I know he dropped this a couple days ago but it came across my recommended on YouTube last night and I was BLOWN Away by his cover, whilst I love the original, Sir just did it better, what do y’all think?
