thank you!

I had a stupid long frustrating conversation with some old timers about music losing it's soul compared to music today.

See that's what I was going to explain!

You should be comparing Neo Soul to the artists that you picked to compare to Usher and Beyonce not just because of their popularity but because of their styles


Neo soul would be the modern version to compare to those guys that you listed.

Lyfe Jennings, Maxwell, Erykah Bahdu

Well when Guy introduced us to this "New Jack Swing", it wasn't used on all of their material, just a few songs. But those songs had such mass appeal that people lumped everything they did together and called it NJS. New Jack Swing is not Soul nor R&B. To me it's more urban club or dance.

R&B has been moved over into a Hip Hop like environment along with Rap and Soul today is now called Neo-Soul and things are kinda jacked up. People tend to classify every song on an artists album according to what their hit song for that album was and this messed things up.

So if an artist did two Country songs, five love ballads and four Jazz like cuts on their album but the Country songs became hits, then people would say the whole album is Country which is not true.

Look what happened to Robin Thicke, he was not gunning for R&B or Soul but because the song went over so well to that crowd it became R&B instead of Pop.
