Italo disco
^^the original version (1984)
Laura Branigan did the song justice though. Her vid nailed it even better.

There is no genre that died that should make a comeback

How about some new jack swing era R&B, or even any quality R&B music. People talk about the decline of hip hop, but there are some underground or OG's out there trying to keep it going. R&B is almost non existent today.
I think this statement is complete nonsense. R&B is still popular (though not as popular as Hip Hop) and there were a number of fantastic records released over the last few years.
I mean yeah music is subjective, and you might not like modern R&B, but to say nobody is keeping the spirit of 90s R&B alive or that it's declined somehow is just false. The 00s were a decline for R&B creatively but the last decade has been pretty excellent.
Can you suggest a current R&B group I might like.
Well I post a lot of cool stuff in the R&B thread, but I have to say there's not a lot of R&B groups, (or rap groups for that matter) these days. Most artists want more control, or money so they become solo artists, so it's mostly solo acts who collab.
A few cool groups:
Majid Jordan
dvsn
Sault
phony ppl
Hiatus Kaiyote
The Internet
Chloe X Halle
St. Beauty
Phony ppl I enjoyed. Honestly the genre might have just passed me by. A lot of your recommendations just sound like pop music to me. I will make sure I check out the R&B thread to see if kind find some new tracks I like. I did hear this track posted below the other day and I enjoyed.
Summer Walker is dope, she has a bunch of dope projects you should check out.
Yeah R&B is often pop music too. You posted New Edition ffs.
Yeah, New Edition definitely were a Pop group that progressed to more R&B new jack sound. I just miss the sound of past R&B. I don't hear it as much in today's music. Not saying current acts are not talented. Just not my preference. Not trying to be that guy who says"back in my day".
I know what you mean. I think R&B is still alive, but the new guys lean on 90s R&B a lot.
Music historians say it's a 20 year cycle; everything gets rebooted, so the new guys fetishize 90s R&B although the tech moves on.
I see the 20 year cycle making sense
I'd like to see ska/2-tone make a comeback
Retired.
ska has been popular for years though

Has there been any rock/hard rock/metal that have recently debuted that are worth listening to. Not including the generic drivel that is played regularly, that sounds too polished.
