New Edition Posted June 20 Posted June 20 There's been a lot of talk about the new pop girlies like Tate, Sabrina, Chapell. But I'm wondering, though we have an influx of Black girlies too in the music scene, how many of them would you say are also POP Girlies? Like who would you classify as a Black Pop Girlie or Black Pop Boy? 1
Doctor Dick Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I count SZA as a part of the 2020s new MPGs despite her debuting last decade (sort of like Celine didn't debut in the 90s but is still regarded as a 90s MPG) even if she's much older than them (J.Lo was Britney and Xtina's peer despite her almost turning 30 and them being teenagers and yet they are all 2000s MPGs). So there's her and I would love for Tyla to breakt through properly. Or maybe Tinashe. 1
toxicgenie Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Normani, Tyla and Ice Spice... Maybe Beyonce's protege Chloe too.
Alldeezy Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Im here for the pop boys like iann dior though he isn't mega but that song mood got popular
Daddy Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Amaarae comes to mind. Shygirl. Bree Runway. RAYE. Sudan Archives. Arlo Parks. Aluna. Namasenda. Tkay Maidza. SPELLLING. PinkPantheress. Hemlocke Springs.
Devin Posted June 20 Posted June 20 if we talkin mainstream success AND pop appeal: sza tyla victoria doja cat the weeknd we need more young black talent & diversity tho. 7 1
Orsay Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) 90% of the names in here being millennials Tyla and PinkPantheress are the only two established gen Z girls that might fall into the pop category that I can think of Outside of pop there's Sexyy Red and Ice Spice Also Ayra Starr deserves a mention, Rush is a bop Edited June 20 by Orsay 3
dumbsparce Posted June 20 Posted June 20 The girl with the graveyard bop who tried to go the Azealia route a month ago 2
bielneira Posted June 20 Posted June 20 If you're talking about young black pop stars, I would say PinkPantheress, Tyla, and Normani.

itshyolee Posted June 20 Posted June 20 11 minutes ago, Orsay said: 90% of the names in here being millennials A lot of the names mentioned became stars during the current Gen Z generation and have a fanbase mainly consisted of Gen Zers, which technically makes them stars of our generation I agree with everyone else naming Normani, Tyla, PinkPantheress, etc in terms of Gen Z born artists.

katyberry Posted June 20 Posted June 20 pinkpantheress being the only one who actually makes pop from those mentioned
Doctor Dick Posted June 20 Posted June 20 3 minutes ago, 50thStateofMind said: sza is a millenial artist, through and through She didn't break through commercially (at least not to the extend like she is now) until the 2020s alongside Olivia and Billie. I've already mentioned it but Jennifer Lopez isn't called out for being gen-X and seen as the peer of Britney and co. even though she's a decade older. It's the same with Sza, she's one of the biggest breakout artists for the gen-Z generation.

Josh Posted June 20 Posted June 20 15 minutes ago, Daddy said: Her father is black so she's black. She's at most biracial like Mariah and Hasley but she is not black like Rihanna or Beyonce.
Daddy Posted June 20 Posted June 20 1 minute ago, Josh said: She's at most biracial like Mariah and Hasley but she is not black like Rihanna or Beyonce. Yeah, she's mixed. Her father is black and her mom Dominican. So saying she's black ain't wrong.
