Diggin' this! Thanks!
Oh god, I'm listening to Abra's Rose album right now and it's just sublime. The vocal melodies on the whole album (Atoms!) are just orgasmic. This passage in particular:
Thanks to this great thread (only been browsing the last 4 pages).
Anyway, just wanted to chime in with this thread and I've been on a modern RnB kick the last couple of months with some amazing stuff by especially Rochelle Jordan (my favorite so far).

I haven't seen a single mention of the appropriately titled debut alberm We Are KING
http://www.npr.org/2016/01/27/464592961/first-listen-king-we-are-king
Incredibly smooth, gorgeous r&b fully endorsed by Prince, Erykah, and Questlove. One of the most essential new releases in quite a while, imo

Love the We Are KING album, been listening to it on and off since it was released. Still sounds fresh whenever I play it lol. Also, I recently found out that 9th Wonder sampled Hiatus Kaiyote - Molasses (my favorite track off CYW) on the song Anderson Paak - Without You. Sooo good!
Random bump for more juice if anybody got it. Here's my contribution for the latest bump:
Anna Wise "Precious Possession
Lorine Chia "Burn One"
Her "Union"
Danger Incorporated "Diamonds"
Rahel "Easy"
ABRA "Crybaby"
Of course there is also some quality new releases from JMSN and Jessy Lanza

We Are King is my favorite album of 2016 so far. So ethereal, atmospheric, and romantic.
Digging into this Jamila Woods - Heavn LP. Love the title track.
Edit: Forgot about the GAWD Maxwell - BlackSUMMERSnight! I like this way more than BLACKsummersnight. Favorites are "All the Ways Love Can Feel" (those horns!) and "1990x" (starts off so strong and gets even stronger with the drums at the end, hoo wee).

sounds good, good looks. Check out the new Mya album , it's great.
I really need to look at some of your guys' recs. I've always had a soft spot for R&B. It seems like it has moved out of that period in a lot of genre's where it becomes overdone and saturated by the mainstream and commercial music industry, but then it rebounds and its better than ever. I love how music is like that.

Also fell in love with both the latest Kilo Kish and Jamila albums
Never heard of her before, been listening to her new album all week and really enjoying it. Thanks! 😎. I'll have to check out Jamila next

I've been spinning her jams. Fucking bass all up in ma shit. Dirty, in the best way.
What I love about her is the vocal harmonies. Roses is great with that.
Solanges New Album, A Seat At The Table, Is Out This Friday
Good to see that she's good with Dev again. I'm excited for this. True EP was cool.

Whaaaaaaaaa. Haven't even heard her new singles yet. I'm hype.
Doesn't sound like it'll convert the people who were lukewarm towards her first record, but I loved Goddess so I'm exited.

Four years after this topic was created and R&B still hasn't come back strong.
R&B is still very much underground. Sure a few songs here and there break the surface, but I wouldn't say we're seeing an R&B resurgence yet. When you start seeing 2-3 R&B songs regularly in the Top Ten again then you'll know R&B is back in a strong way.

If any of y'all are in the Southern California area, she'll be performing at the Stones Throw Superfest tomorrow morning (November 5) at 11:30 am; it's a free event and Common is headlining.
she's coming
One of the albums of the decade for me so far. Just love it.
Ray Wonder

she's coming
She's talented, no doubt, but I don't really find her music enjoyable to listen to.

Blood Orange: Freetown Sound
Nao: For All We Know
BlackSUMMERS'night
Mentioning these three for anyone that might have missed out on them.
All three are good but I especially enjoy the Nao album. A lot of great R&B lately. Solange's newest album was fantastic.

Yeah, it was just solid for me at first but after really listening to it the entire album from beginning to end a few times....yeah, it is up there with A Seat at the Table. Just beautiful.

Just putting this in the thread: H.E.R. - Vol. 1
Sorry for linking a playlist, but the album rip's sound quality is poor.

She's so amazing.
Anderson Paak and NxWorries are the best discoveries I've made in a long time.
My absolute favorite of this decade so far is still the Robert Glasper Experiment. ArtScience and Everything's Beautiful released last year, both great albums.
Also want to add Nicholas Payton - Numbers

Thanks, that's one of my favorites off the album. Didn't know she still made videos.
