Yeah, everyone including Frank need to stop doing this

Album Rating: 1.0

can't deny the huge influence the album's had on the genre, for better or worse (definitely worse lol). I'd even say it's become a sort of canon, a "way" of making neo-soul.

things'll come back in circles so wait til people get tired of the sound in 15 years

"the damage that this album's success has caused to the neo-soul scene as a whole is immense. Everyone tryna write songs like these. Luckly there are some exceptions, people that still strive for good song writing as a staple of the genre, but still."



Lol what?



What are you on about bruh, this has had virtually no impact - positive or negative - whatsoever on neo-soul, an absolutely flourishing genre rn. It has had an impact on pop though, so if you want to blame this album for the tasteless pillaging and subsequent desecration of alt r&b, neo-soul and other adjacent genres, the soulless bastardizations that the pop zeitgeist has been pumping out (ie mac miller, tyler the creator, childish gambino) are definitely god awful, but real neo-soul outside of the mainstream hasn't lost an ounce of integrity

yea i'm talking about mainstream mainly. I agree wholeheartedly, there's a lot of amazing, well written and soulfull neo-soul out there.

“Rowan-core is tasteless ass agreed”

Facts.

Also, the artists who regurgitated blonde on their own releases probably weren’t about to drop timeless classics anyway.
