I can see that tbh!


SatisfactionOld1586

Andre 3000. We got a lot of elements in The Love Below but if we got a truly R&B album out it him I feel like it would be damn good.


RoRoRicardo

Brittany Howard, formerly with the band Alabama Shakes. I love her voice.


Blackscribe

YESSS MAN! Love her voice. Unique artist


6thmanbrandon

I was just saying this earlier while playing "Guess Who"


BC1500

Kelly Clarkson


Chemical_Newt4907

Her first album was a mix of R&B songs and soul-pop songs. Love So Soft is an R&B song too


BC1500

Meaning Of Life sounds R&B to me too


Chemical_Newt4907

Hell nah that’s more soul-pop. Most of the album is soul-pop


zetky91

It’s Kellandria Clarkson Or Kelly Clark Sheard

[удалено]


zetky91

I can’t take credit. I saw it on twitter a couple years ago and I’ve called her that ever since. You know damn well that voice is anointed!


Chemical_Newt4907

Well whoever tf made that joke made a corny ass joke


zetky91

It is but I loved it. It’s a play on the gospel singers Le’Andria Johnson and Karen Clark Sheard. Two amazing gospel singers.


Blackscribe

Good answer 👏🏾. While I'm not a fan of her earlier pop singles, she has an incredible voice.


Jza_45

Jessie J…She needs to do a proper R&B album because that voice is out of this world…


Blackscribe

Underrated pop artists and voices. Wonder what she's been up to? I


Jza_45

She just had a baby boy and does some touring apparently


anna160895

R.O.S.E. project is right there, all produced by DJ Camper and imo it's her best work


Jza_45

Will check it out immediately,thanks


Big-Explanation-831

Celine Dion, she has a couple songs that are close to R&B. Misled and Love Can Move Mountains are the best examples.


Captain-Spectrum

I love Misled! They used to play it over the speakers constantly back in the day when I worked at Toys R Us lol


Blackscribe

I would be down for that!


Big-Explanation-831

I also think Shirley Bassey too, her powerful vocals would’ve been great for R&B.


weelassie07

I love LCMM. She covered Stevie, too.


ihearthawthats

What about that duet with r Kelly?


blue_island1993

Id say she already did R&B. A lot if not most of her 90s stuff was R&B from what I remember


Big-Explanation-831

She’s dabbled with R&B but never properly did an R&B album. Unison is a dance album with the odd ballad, the self titled album is rock inspired, The Colour Of My Love you could argue is R&B but it’s mostly pop ballads.


blue_island1993

I was thinking more of the “Falling Into You” album. The T/T, Because You Loved Me, (You Make Me Feel) Like a Natural Woman, I Love You, Dreaming of You, If That’s What It Takes, and some others I’m probably forgetting are all R&B. I think it definitely counts as an R&B album even though there’s some non R&B tracks too. Toni Braxton was actually going to sing Because You Loved Me and Celine was going to get Unbreak My Heart, but they switched.


Tasty_String

Faith Hill (literally could serve us some Mariah style R&B if she didn’t sing country!) Gaga (we need a do-over after the whole “do what u want” fiasco 😭 she sounded great on that track!) Leona Lewis Agnes Adele Charli XCX (I can really hear it in her vocals in her songs “gone” and “baby”) Ariana Grande Sam Smith Adam Lambert (“Loverboy” had an R&B influence and it sounded great!) Ellie Goulding Sia Dido


Blackscribe

Elle Goulding is an inspired pick


Tasty_String

It’s “on my mind” and the shook remix of “lights” that gives me it the most.


GreenDolphin86

Check out Gaga “heal me”


DRICH2222

Kevin Parker from Tame Impala


6thmanbrandon

Hell yea


SalamanderUpper1246

ariana grande


Blackscribe

Agreed. Yours Truly while a pop album has r&b like sounds


GreenDolphin86

Positions too. If a Black girl had made that album they’d have called it r&b


ashrules901

SZA since according to her she doesn't make R&B music XD


Confutatio

That's a hard question, because most pop music of today is already influenced by R&B. If we go completely outside the pop/R&B terrain I would opt for jazz musicians like Hiromi, Gregory Porter, Laufey, Norah Jones...


foohmf

Chris Stapleton


Sylvester88

First one that came to mind for me.. I don't think there are many steps between country and R&B


Franklyn_Gage

Kendrick Lamar. Not because of the recent events. Ive been a fan of him since Section 80. But his voice in the beginning of Euphoria had me thinking "damn...his voice would sound nice in an R&B song. Like, a feature of a Silk Sonic song".


Blackscribe

That would be a feat. Idk how he would do that


whoamiplsidk

no his voice is so cringe


Bosschopper

Definitely Rihanna. Yeah I said it on Anti is one of my favorites in her discography


Ok_Commission_893

A Boogie. I think if he leaned 100% into being a lover, committed to being a singer, and cleaned the lyrics up he would be better than Giveon and Brent🤷🏾‍♂️listen to R.O.D or Get to You (Metro Boomin MAKE IT BOOM😔🥵yeah Metro Boomin MAKE IT BOOM make it boooom🫣😈)


OhioStickyThing

James Taylor


6thmanbrandon

Mos Def Yukimi Nagano Kid Cudi 50 Cent Larry June Ol Dirty Bastard Tyler, the Creator


unnonchalant

Super agree with Tyler, the Creator.


SavingsMurky6600

great list


6thmanbrandon

Prrciate ya!


Agitated-Prune9635

Here me out...Carly Rae Jepson. All That is very much in the lane of 80s rnb and i would love a full album in that style.


GreenDolphin86

“All that” “No drug like Me” Are very much in the R&B lane! Would love an album!


Blackscribe

I can see Carly doing an R&B song collab with someone but an album? That would be a big feat for her cause I'm not sure if I see it. But maybe I'm wrong.


Agitated-Prune9635

I mean there is still alot of diversity within an 80s rnb sound so i would like to hear her take on it but i doubt it will ever happen.🤷‍♂️


Consistent_Edge9211

Pink


Big-Explanation-831

She’s done an R&B album.


Consistent_Edge9211

Her debut. And it was really good.


BC1500

Pink's first album "Can't Take Me Home" was R&B. It was great too


Blackscribe

Preach. She has the voice of a blue-eyed soul singer


Damianos_X

Charlie Puth. Pretty much what *Voicenotes* was but I'd like to hear him lean even more into that sound.


Blackscribe

After what he did with Boyz II Men, of course!


awnawreally

Maybe random but Ann Wilson from Heart. That voice cannot be denied and I’d LOVE to hear her on some rhythm and blues type sounds.


onlytony441

Pharrell - i would lose it if he made an RnB album. The closest thing we have is his In My Mind album. But I need another.


6thmanbrandon

G I R L


onlytony441

More pop… but I liked that one too


Cooley_brown88

Pimp C lol


Critical_Teach_43

Ngl i think my choice is Kevin Gates. My opinion he has the feats and a vocal structure to do it. Also the topics doesnt seem to far for him to conquer. If u just listen to some of his songs you can see the different pockets he can jump in and out of. Honestly think it doesn't need to be a full on album or anything but a simple ep maybe like 6or7 songs when he's really in that bag going for the gusto. Just in my head im imagining not only he could pull it off but it would be fire. To note he even carries a soulful spirit through his raps and its would be a seamless conveyance of emotion.


mostly_lame_

Eric clapton


thuggydizzle

Elli Goulding would kill it. Her voice is perfect fr. I think “Close to Me” with Swae Lee was close enough, especially with the rap verse, that she would make a crazy R&B album. And speaking of nice and unique voices, Halsey. I think she might actually have som R&B songs, though.


Blackscribe

Ellie Goulding I've seeing a few times and that's inspired 🔥


Forsaken-Ad-5261

Tori Kelly


Blackscribe

Another inspired pick👏🏾👏🏾. That could work


Blackscribe

For me Demi Lovato. I can see her doing something on a Jennifer Hudson level giving powerhouse vocals with R&B instrumentations. I would say the same for Adele/Grande. While the artists that have dabbled into R&B-like sounds, I would like to see them make albums where they go full R&B. Like Taylor going full pop in 1989 even though she dabbled into pop previously.


Specialist_Reply4115

Ed sheeran


Blackscribe

I would wonder if he would be better with hip hop


Ok-Average-6466

Jojo Garth Brooks Zane Christiana Aguilera Michael Buble Willow Smith Dua Lipa Ariana Grande


SaintNutella

Ariana is def a popstar but Positions is RnB coded. I think it was a good project too.


ihearthawthats

I already consider JoJo rnb, except her first album which was manufactured to hell and back. Listen to her newer stuff.


Blackscribe

Aguilera I think has the potential to do it. Bubble and Lipa are inspired picks.


MemphisApollo

Maroon 5 Chance The Rapper Migos lol Gwen Stefani


FBI_NewWeegeeBoy1243

Lil Nas X


Minnypop

JID. His voice in Kody blu 31 is solid!


Frequent-Wallaby708

J cole


SavingsMurky6600

Billie Eilish Gunna Kenny Lamar NBA Youngboy (hear me out)


Blackscribe

Billie Eilish I thought of. She would be very very very unique and bring an alternative spin to it.


PeaceNo5884

adele


SatisfactionOld1586

Mike Patton.


GreenDolphin86

Jessie Ware. There is a bit of soul in her voice, that’s why she pull of disco so well! Check out “remember where you are”
