The R&B Connoisseur

An in depth review of the highly anticipated album from Silk Sonic “An Evening with Silk Sonic.” I know it took me long enough to get around to reviewing this album, but I assure you it is worth the wait. This episode of the pod was all business, no nonsense....... well I don’t wanna lie. Y’all might get some of my best vocals on this one 😂🤣. This is the longest podca

An in depth review of the new album from Thuy “I hope you see this.” I got all of your hopes up about the music we would get in November...... and we did get the music we were promised as well as this album that I wasn’t expecting but it was a pleasant surprise. Thuy is an up and comer looking to solidify her status in the R&B game. This album was a good start and a perfect p

An in depth review of the new album from JoJo “trying not to think about it.” JoJo back and showing consistency in her album releases. I would love to get something new from her every year. Her growth in the game is incredible and release after release she gains more R&B fans that saw her only as a Pop Star. That was bound to happen when you have a voice like hers. The album ha

An in depth review of the new album from Anthony Hamilton “Love is the New Black.” One of the greatest voice and storytellers of our time has release another album that will satisfy the listeners of his old soul type of R&B. We all know what to expect for AH and that’s what we get on this 14-track effort. Took the time to review “Butterflies” a song by D’Vo, an R&B/Neo

An in depth review of the new joint album from DVSN & Ty $ “Cheers to the Best Memories.” You already know I was going to choose anything with Ty $ to review. Having DVSN on the album was just an added bonus. These two came together and gave us one hell of a joint album that had Club Songs, Stroke Songs and samples galore. I also talked about fantasy football, Navy Fitness and

An in depth review of Durand Jones and the Indications’ new album “Private Space.” After two years away these gentlemen return to capitalize on the resurgence of the old school R&B/Soul/Funk sound. Will Durand’s Powerful, Soulful Voice + Aaron’s Falsetto = Another Masterpiece? See if this group can capture the same magic from their first album. I also talked about my wife

An in depth review of Snoh Aalegra’s new album “Temporary Highs in the Violet Skies.” Snoh came out of nowhere, well at least to me she did, but years in the game, a name change and motivation finally got her on the radar in 2019 and her buzz continued to grow in 2020 as we all had time to listen to new music when we were cooped up in our houses. Cans she keep the buzz going

AN ACTUAL ALBUM?!?!? SAY WORD?!?An in depth review of the ”first album” from H.E.R., “Back of my Mind.” Yes we all know that this young lady has been around the game for a while, but she has just been teasing us with small projects here and there. This time around we get a full length album that she can build a story around and get a good rhythm to tell that story. Was it w

THE LOVE KING IS BACK!!!!! An in depth review of the new Raheem Devaughn album “Lovesick.” Y’all already know how I feel about his music so I won’t wast your time but I can tell you one thing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I also talked about Softball, a new pet and other random stuff (business as usual). Just opinions from my side about the albums (lyrics, concept, joke

The Washed Report is BACK! Sometimes artists tend to hold on for a little longer than they should or they try to comeback as a new artist and want to latch on to the new sounds. In those cases I’m here to let my listeners and true fans of R&B know if these artists are “Washed” or not. In Vol. II I’m covering three artist/groups from the ‘90s: Ruff Endz, Donell Jones and H
