The Official R&B and Slow Jams news, reviews, and stuff thread

Bump. New Boyz II Men album is “out”.

Not as good as the Motown cover album, but still good. Covers of recent popular love songs, like “I Can’t Make You Love Me”, “Iris”, and “Open Arms”. I give it a 3.5/5. :slight_smile:

damnnn she went in. btw one of my fave richie songs.

dude i grew up wit new jack swing. my black ass was grooving to that on the bus full of white kids to catholic school.

ive been playing this song non stop in my car this week, if i made a personal top five 90’s r&b, this song would make my list.

Very nice find. I’ve been watching there concerts lately on youtube and figured they were working together. K-ci and jojo, H-town, dru hill and devante swing making the beats… slowjams are coming back baby!!!

Damn if only dino was alive…his voice was the main voice in h-town, but its all good.

Listening to the new Jay Sean album… its good stuff even though he reused some of his songs from My Own Way for this release to appeal to the US audience that never heard of his stuff till “Down” came out.

New Kelis song: Acapella

jay shawn is getting on my damn nerves already…

OH DAMN!!

I would have sweet, passionate, tantric sex with Sade on top of a cloud made from the breath of babies and would orgasm sparkles in technicolor. I shit you not. This woman’s voice would make up for aging. I owe it to her. SO many nights of women grabbing their ankles came thanks to Sade.

Friday I picked up Jodeci’s first album. I was in the 9th grade when that CD came out and I remember one day in science class, my teacher let us listen to the radio and “Forever My Lady” came on. My teacher asked who it was and we were like that’s Jodeci then we proceeded to have karaoke in the class. :lol: Fun times…

Sam Sparro is the shit. loove that sally joint and black & gold.

AHAHAHAHA R. Kelly is ridiculous.

Hot damn, some Aaron Hall just came across my iPod…even though I only have Missing You on there…LOL

I picked up the new Mario. I’m not feeling it that much but I guess I’ll give it some more spins. His last album, Go, was pretty good.

Time for me to break this thread::

In other news…Chris Brown has a few nice slow jams on his new album.

And yes GO was waaaaaay better than his new shit. IMO the best R&B albums of the last 5 years:

Monica - The Makings Of Me <<< this is what its all about
Letoya - Letoya
Letoya - Lady Love
Lloyd - Lessons In Love 2.0 (mixtape)
Raheem Devaughn - Love Behind The Melody
Teedra Moses - Young Huslta Vol III - Lionhearted (mixtape)
Jagged Edge - Baby Makin Project
Bobby Valentino - The Rebirth
Ginuwine - Back II The Basics
Jill Scott - The Real Thing Word And Sounds Vol. 3
Jaime Foxx - Unpredictable
Mary J Blige - The Breakthrough
Fantasia - Fantasia
Faith Evans - The First Lady
Ryan Leslie - Ryan Leslie
Erykah Badu - NuAmerykah vol.1

Tell me if I missed something. Im pretty sure I didnt.

Honorable Mentions:
Keyshia Cole - A Different Me

New Alicia Keys album has been leaked…

Its pretty good stuff as always (Alicia always delivers)… loving Empire State of Mind (Part II) - Then again, people are probably sick of it because of Jay-Z.

best version imo

That’s the saddest music video of all time. I remember being like 8 or 9 watching that on Planet Groove on BET and nearly bawling my eyes out everytime that came on.
