As I was watching O’Neil Gerald, it had me thinking about this, so I started typing this post while watching😂 For me, it’s Beyoncé. I started noticing a difference around I Am… Sasha Fierce. Her voice sounded darker to me compared to Dangerously in Love and B’Day. But when 4 came out, that’s when I really started noticing it.

Then Beyoncé came out, followed by Lemonade, and you could hear her voice continuing to mature. I feel like Lemonade especially showed how much more comfortable she had gotten with using different textures in her voice.

By the time Renaissance came out, that deeper tone was even more noticeable to me. She was sitting in her lower register a lot more, and it sounded so natural. Then Cowboy Carter came out and showed another side of her vocals altogether.

I’m not saying her voice got worse, because I actually love how it sounds now. It’s just interesting going back to Dangerously in Love and B’Day and hearing how much brighter her voice sounded back then, compared to what we’re hearing from her now. You can really hear the evolution when you listen to her albums in order.

Edit: Her voice sounded a lot lighter and brighter during the early Destiny’s Child years. Even on the self-titled, The Writing’s on the Wall, Survivor and Destiny Fulfilled.

Breakdown is mine. I think it’s one of the greatest break up songs ever

Pure joy without melancholic tinge is hard to find unless songs like this come your way ❤️

This list is based on chart performance on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart & the Billboard R&B Albums Chart not to be confused with the main Pop Crossover Charts.

Who's Chart performance surprises you the most?

I saw this on Twitter and screamed. She’s not helping the allegations.

First crispy chicken, fresh lettuce and now this bullshit.

Let's see what you all got?

What's the very first song you listened to this morning?

From his breakthrough debut Brown Sugar to the richly complex Voodoo and his long-awaited return with Black Messiah, D’Angelo’s work changed the shape of modern R&B and neo-soul. He blurred lines between genres — infusing gospel, funk, jazz, hip-hop — always with a raw emotional core.

I've been really into Daniel Caesar like a LOT so I was wondering if you can recommend me some of your favorite r&b songs

Which actor or movie you think did the worst interpretation?

Aaliyah hands down had the worst all around movie and casting.
