However, they have barely produced anything in the 2020s, and their production credits suddenly disappear after roughly 2019. what happened to them? Do you miss them? Are they enjoying their riches with no bother for working anymore (honestly, I'd get it)?

 

 

No Drama and Faded Love flopped and people looked elsewhere 

Retire like Rihanna

Wow, what legends! 

 

 

Quote

Ne-Yo "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)"

Mario has said that he wished he had written "Let Me Love You;" I have a feeling Ne-Yo wishes that he had sung it. 

Remember when they created their own label with Jay Z's Roc Nation and signed this phenom? This little album went about triple platinum in my dwelling. I can't believe y'all let her tank!

Tea. They're probably enjoying their royalties.

 

When you produce classics like these, you deserve to:

 

im pretty sure that one of them has a few solo credits in recent years.

they knew they couldn't produce anything better than faded love or no drama so they retired

these stone cold classics

Like their former collaborator, Rihanna, they are able to live comfortably off of the monthly royalties they receive from Only Squirrel (In The World) being played softly in the background from the speakers in supermarkets and dentists' offices.  Why even bother to work anymore?

What happened to her?

 

I actually thought she had so much potential.

 

And I used to have a crush on the guy that appears in the "happiness" video...

They produced the only kinda listenable song on 143 

Rihanna still keep them fed 2 decades later. Why work 

No rihanna no stargate 

come and get it and same old love being rihjects

Except they outdid themselves a few years later with "The Chase."

They produced the gem on 143 that is Wonder.  

Last time we heard of them was last year when they claimed to be working on new Britney music, hmmmm. 

They got blacklisted after releasing this mess with P!nk and Sia 

 

I wouldn't  be surprised if they produce some new music for Rihanna and Britney but the biggest problem is both are not willing to release new music anytime soon. I feel they should just keep trying to work with Selena and charli xcx.

Perhaps in hiding with Space Cowboy

They complete their 1/2-track-an album deal Katy Perry must have put into place after "Firework/Peacock" ("This Moment"/"It Takes Two", "Resilient", "Wonder"), but during Witness they suddenly tried to become artists at one point like Calvin Harris and couldn't make anything for her .... Do y'all remember "Waterfall" f. Sia & Pink with the massive radio deal?

 

 

That is also when their biggest collaborator Ne-Yo stopped working with them for his albums out of the blue.

 

Since coming back to producing / writing for others full-time, they've recently produced "Jupiter" for Coldplay, "Insomnia" for Normani, and "Keep It Quiet" for Coco Jones.

 

Is an R&B pivot coming again?

so many good songs . 

I feel like waterfall was there downfall, what was that nothing mess

I miss them & Ester Dean
