    Sevyn slays! She’s the perfect combination of raw talent & mainstream appeal. I’m sure people will sleep on her though. *plays BANS*

  6. Kyle March 5, 2015

    Sevyn’s EP last year housed some of the best songs I’ve heard in awhile so the thought of her releasing her debut album this year is very exciting. I hope she drops it before the summer. She’s definitely destined for great things!!!

    When will Ciara?

    • FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

      When will she what? LMFAO, Idiot

    • Allure March 5, 2015

      C’mon guys give Cici a break. What does she have to do with anything?

    • Lana Del Fan *I Can Hear The Sirens* March 6, 2015

      #BeyNice. Juggling a career as a baby momma and Nocalist is stressful.

  8. TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

    With Sevyn, Teyana Taylor, Jhenè, Mila J, Tinashe, and etc., I love this new sound of R&B. I can’t wait for Sevyn’s album. I love her.

  9. FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

    I cannot wait for Sevyns album!!!

  10. FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

    Bet yall didnt know that Sevyn was apart of a girl group 5years ago, that had 1-2 mediocre hits… Also ‘Brave’ from RnB Divas LA was also apart of that same group called “Rich Girl”
    …..
    Sevyn has grown so much, and Im excited for her career. Im glad she dances too! There are too many stiff bittches hogging up the scene!

    • Allure March 5, 2015

      She was also apart of B2K’s sister group, TG4.

      • FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

        Wow, I didnt know that, But YAAAAAAAAAAAZ

    • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

      I remember RichGirl, bc they opened up for Beyoncé during her I Am… Tour.

      • FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

        #Facts!

  11. britneyraycarey March 5, 2015

    i love Sevyn. Her first album is going to be everything

  12. No favs, just here for the music March 5, 2015

    BANS is sooo good

    can’t wait to hear more stuff from her

  13. Career Ender March 5, 2015

    I do not know her and won’t pay her any attention until I hear her song on radio
    .
    bye

    • Allure March 5, 2015

      Awe you’re the worst kind of consumer. Open your mind to something other than the repetitive songs on the radio….

    • Mark111 March 5, 2015

      So that means you don’t know Beyonce’s last two albums. #Slap

      • Career Ender March 5, 2015

        Beyoncé’s last two albums were constantly played in ALL South African radio stations
        .
        get it right Aaliyah stan im not from djokovic city like you
        .
        go get FFS to #1 on the hot100 , after all u said it will
        .
        basic bìtch

      • Mark111 March 5, 2015

        1) I’m American.
        2) You’re from South Africa, yet you act like you know what’s popping here in the states? No wonder when people say Bey isn’t all that, you jump up and look like a fool. The truth comes out, lol.

      • Tyler March 5, 2015

        “No Wonder When People Say Beyonce Isnt All That”???
        If Beyonce isn’t all that, then neither is your fave given the fact that she’s been outselling her for the past decade #Facts.com

      • Mark111 March 5, 2015

        You’re 19, the fuc you know about the history of music. WHen the greats were out, you were a decision of getting skeeted on your face, puss or the ground.

  14. SpoonfulofSugar March 5, 2015

    in my heart of hearts i still believe there will be at least one TGJ interview i read where Beyonce’s name isn’t mentioned.

    if they interviewed the Queen of England they’d probably ask her about “Queen Beyonce”. girls please!

    • Allure March 5, 2015

      Lol I agree!!! I’m a Bey fan no doubt. But sheesh….

    • Jamon March 7, 2015

      It’s getting ridiculous. I don’t understand their obsession with her. Why can’t they just be a fan. This interview should be about Sevyn and her music. If I was an artist I would be offended, or just wouldn’t do an interview with them knowing Beyonce name would come up. They need some type of therapy to get over their obsession.

  15. Career Ender March 5, 2015

    Sam I thought we were best of friends. im trying to get the comments section going but you not allowing me.
    .
    do you want 10 posts not reaching 100 comments in a row?
    .
    really Sam?

    • Absolved March 5, 2015

      Get a life.

    • Pat March 6, 2015

      You have no life at all…sad to say the least!

  16. Allure March 5, 2015

    Sev’s EP is so dope from start to finish. I know her album will be dope too. DKTF is my fav song right now. It takes you on a musical journey from the house swag, to the trumpet to the trap-like bass…it sounds like nothing on the radio & it’s just an overall FUN SONG!!!! It’s good to hear something other than money, b******, n***** ain’t s*** and s**!!!

  17. Career Ender March 5, 2015

    @britneyraycyrus
    .
    I didn’t know you were Daniel the
    Prophet suddenly, how do you predict
    that?
    .
    can you predict Robotney’s next
    album sales too?

  18. #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

    Yes Sevyn!!!!
    I can’t wait for her and Mila J’s albums. With all these record labels signing Aaliyah’s childrens to their music company, who needs a limited vocals and repetitive lack of creativity with a certain “Funky?” Bye to ALL Dineva’s boo boo. The time has shifted baby!!!! So excited with the return of female singers/dancers 😀

    • FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

      SEVYN >>>>>> Tinashe

      IJS

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

        All the new girls >>>>>>>>> ciara.
        Truth. 😉

    • TheElusiveLamb March 5, 2015

      LMAOOOOO! That’s so shady.

    • Jhené Aiko Stan March 5, 2015

      Lol @ Aaliyah’s children. Yall give her TOO much credit. She lived in the house that Janet Jackson built with a room in-between Ciara and Cassie.

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

        Because she deserves it and it’s the truth. Aaliyah’s swag and sound lives on through these artists. Even your fave gets compared to her. Janet had her own style and most definitely is the MOTHER to all of them but all the new girls are going the Aaliyah route.

      • Mark111 March 5, 2015

        Too much credit? It’s just credit, and a clear one as that. Girls didn’t dress, moved or sounded like this untill 1994, when Aaliyah came out. Janet is Queen, but you see her influence in performance and album structure/theme. When it comes to style, rather it’s fashion, swagger, vocals or sound, it’s Aaliyah. Can’t rewrite history kids. And when it comes to that, Aaliyah is a Princess of that house.

      • Mark111 March 5, 2015

        And to add, there’s a reason why people say Ciara WAS a mix of Janet AND Aaliyah and not just Janet. 🙂

      • BeyRihLiyah March 5, 2015

        @mark111 not mention queen janet and Aaliyah was working on trying to collab on a duet song around the time of her death

  19. Mark111 March 5, 2015

    Sevyn I need this album! Love her, a breath of fresh air.

  20. Mark111 March 5, 2015

    The fact that her music sounds like nothing out there. DKTF did sound strange at first, but is now my jam. She’s pretty, down to earth, can sing, dance, write, she’s what music needs right now.

  21. #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

    @FutureLeftCiara did your fave get a new tour to open up for? Future should be kind enough to have her open for him at ‘Kings of Diamonds’ strip club to help with child support funds.

    • FutureCIARA March 5, 2015

      Not when your fave is busy booking these hole in the wall bars, deep in the hood, still pushing “2 Off”… Is Flopquarius past 20k album sales yet?

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

        What hole in the wall bars?? And “2 On” is her song nothing is wrong with her performing it on her OWN tours. And don’t STAN for sales because “I Bet” isn’t going nowhere at 6k with them weak TRY HARD vocals and tell me why Ciara can’t happen since 2007? Waits for the delusions….. hehe.

  22. Jhené Aiko Stan March 5, 2015

    Sevyn has some pretty dope music. I feel like the influx of breakthrough female R&B singers (Jhené Aiko, K. Michelle, Tamar Braxton, Tinashe, Teyana Taylor, Natalie La Rose) has put her in a back seat. People have been sleeping on her. She needs to jump on a hot collaboration or get some promo in.

    • #TeamTinashe Stan (All Hands On Deck Now On iTunes) March 5, 2015

      Her only promo is Chris Brown sadly.

      • Jhené Aiko Stan March 5, 2015

        Tbh, none of them get the right amount of promo, save Tamar and K. Michelle who get weekly promo from tv. You’d think the recent shift to a more urban sound would cause labels to invest in their artist but it only seems true for the ones who already established a fan base.

    • Malaysia March 5, 2015

      Breakthrough? Kee all of them are flops. Tamar sold the most and didn’t even crack 400k. She’s in the same boat as all of them especially considering how It Won’t Stop was a top 30 hit.

  23. Malaysia March 5, 2015

    Don’t kill the fun is a bop!! Looking 4ward to more material from Seven

  24. (Rihyonce) March 5, 2015

    yasss Sevyn gooo Gurll !! PATIENTLY WAITING FOR THIS ALBUM !!

  25. Carlitos March 5, 2015

    I want her to collaborate w/ Toni Braxton.

  26. Randomly March 6, 2015

    So i just listened to “Forgiveness” by Leona Lewis and it reminded me of Beyonce’s Rocket??
    Anyway I personally do not feel that Beyonce got snubbed. My Opinion! and I wish people would stop talking about it. #GETOVERIT

    • Jamon March 7, 2015

      I agree. I bet Thatgrapejuice and a lot of other people out there has not listened to any of the other albums nominated for Album of the Year, but they continue to say she’s snubbed after winning 3 grammy’s. I’m not anything about her being “SNUBBED” for losing Best Urban Album to Pharell. I Wonder why that is?

      • Jamon March 7, 2015

        “I haven’t heard anything”

  27. Rosebud (Natalie La Rose Stan) March 6, 2015

    Sevyn seems like a nice and genuine person. She can sing and dance too, I’m here for her!

  28. I STAN[D] FOR TALENT March 7, 2015

    She looks like a jolly rancher with that tragic hair!!!! Rih got these höes inspired thinking they can pull off that hair!!! Sit DOWN HEAUX

    • I STAN[D] FOR TALENT March 7, 2015

      So thatflopjuice aka thatrihannajuice has pinned this just because this random h*** mentioned fleayonce! KII! Sam those rent bills must be stacking up in your studio appartment!!! SMH dumb immigrant using names for hits! Aren’t you glad I made a early return and brought my fans along with me! I keep this messy blog alive and running 🙂

      • I STAN[D] FOR TALENT March 8, 2015

        TROLL!!!! You’re a psycho. I love Sevyn.
