Glad we're all having meaningful discussions without 'dragging and 'throwing shade' I'm 19 and I always found myself connecting with R&B music from the 90's and back and my favs are the likes of Beyonce, Aaliyah, Usher, Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Toni Braxton, Ciara, Whitney, Janet and Michael, Luther Vandross and the list goes on. Lol, people think I was born in the wrong time. It's hard to believe in 2004 you had all these R&B artists being supported by mainstream, now it's like what the hell is going on? To be honest, I can't get into some of these new age R&B artists. They come across as to into themselves and deeeeply introspective and layered and complex so I can't get into their music. The only one I like is Miguel. Kaleidoscope Dream is a future classic. Mariah was so right here. Sometimes you gotta just maintain artistic credibility and refrain from following trends.
