J-esper Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) She has a point. This is happening for decades. It's also "funny" to check productions of Timbaland, Pharrel, Tricky/The Dream. Pollow Da Don of around 2004-2008 and see how much of their work is classified R&B etc. when it is a black artist and how a similair production is deemed pop because any other act sings it. Yes a good portion of her debut is R&B but there are enough moments on there that would be classified pop had it been recorded by an Ariana Grande or JoJo for example. There was and still is a big bias. Where especially yt artists can dip their toes and even take a good swim in certain spaces and genres and evolve and get their flowers for it. A lot of black artists just cant or if they do are classified in the same box over and over again. Edited June 23 by J-esper 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefertiti0 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 8 hours ago, Taylor fanboy said: She's right and she should say it! This is too musically complex to be labelled as R&B alone. it's classified as pop on Apple Music she also got hate for doing pop when she dropped it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyRealMusic. Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 I mean, I understand what she's saying, but honestly it feels like they're denouncing R&B music, like. SZA and other artists said something like this & it reeks of "I'm not like the other girls" energy. As if R&B is not a worthy genre to be making music in.

Gossip_Boy Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 She's right. This is an ongoing issue. Non R&B songs shouldn't be categorized as R&B just because of a person's skin colour, that's not fair for the genre as a whole or for them as artists that want to try and break barriers and people continuously putting them in boxes. Also historically pop award winners make more money, and historically black pop artists are not considered "pop" so it's just people advocating for themselves.
