The Truth about Sevyn Streeter's career...

Sevyn Streeter is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and performer. Sevyn Streeter started singing to two girl groups: TG4 and Richgirl. Sevyn branched off into solo endeavors and collaborated with Chris Brown. Sevyn had music hits like "It Won't Stop", "nEXT", "Don't K**l the Fun", and "Before I Do."
Sevyn also wrote songs for Chris Brown, Alicia Keys, Tamar Braxton, Justin Bieber, and Brandy. The biggest song she penned was Ariana Grande's song "The Way."
With Sevyn's success, came a lot of obstacles. I discuss it in detail in this video.

Basically 2 things. Colorism and she's not a Sellout

[@datgurlky1]

That part

[@miaeba]

not so sure about that.... i actually think she was too young to show off her body as much. i think she has waaayyy too many sexual vids for her age at the time. Im not sure if working with CB at that time helped her. that album cover was insane with the straight jacket and lingerie. the second album was not as good. the second album with all that ass out... she was really young. colorism was an issue for sure... but she was doing a lot

If this was the 90s Sevyn would have been big back when you had black music executives. Like Ashanti, Mya, and Mila J, imho, Sevyn should go the independent route and still do songwriting. As Diddy said before we need more black music executives, therefore true artists would get the recognition they deserve.

@ThotKilla he already HAS made it. He's on the radio for more than one song, he's touring or has toured, and you don't need to be in the Top FIVE to make it or be relevant. Plus he's his own songwriter and he's young; he has time.

[@christopherbrown2706]

@ThotKilla people still check for the VMAs? I thought the virtue signalling politics on display made them tired to the public. Also, from his Wiki, "Mendes went on to release an EP in July 2014 and his debut studio album Handwritten (2015), whose single "Stitches" reached the top 10 in the United States and Canada, and number one in the United Kingdom. His second album Illuminate (2016) was supported by the singles "Treat You Better" and "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back", which reached the top 10 in several countries. His self-titled third studio album was released in 2018. All three albums debuted atop of the US Billboard 200, with the first one making Mendes one of five artists to ever debut at number one before the age of eighteen. Mendes has headlined three concert tours: ShawnsFirstHeadlines, Shawn Mendes World Tour and Illuminate World Tour. In 2018, Mendes was included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Mendes also became the first artist to land four number ones on the Adult Top 40 chart before age 20. Among his accolades, Mendes has won an American Music Awardand three Juno Awards." He's not becoming irrelevant over one forgettable (or maybe just shunted aside) performance. Y'all have GOT to remember these artists are human, and moreover don't have to do things YOUR way. After all, who are you?

The bigger artist in R&B rn are signed to divisions of RCA which I thought was a bad label too. Ella Mai is signed to 10 Summers which is a hip hop R&B label by DJ Mustard.

If we want to see her or any other artists like her return to the spotlight, all we have to do is BUY their music from ITunes or Google Play Music, etc. We must FINANCIALLY support every artist that we want to see more of instead of just asking for their return because the industry only responds to views, streams, what's trending, and of course, SELLS💰💰💰 So buy her music again and again, because they only respect the numbers, they're in (the music) business to make money, not to have us just admire their artist without being reimbursed for their advertising money spent to put her on tv, etc. These companies MUST get their investment money that they've spent promoting an artist back or they'll cancel that artist because we're not BUYING their music 90% of the time.

Wow, she has always blown me away with her vocals. I had no idea that she was such a well known writer too! Wondered why she fell off. Her music always left me wanting to hear more. Great video!!

[@Iwant2BYRLova]

Excellent video as usual!

[@jamalwashington2128]

Sevyn is my girl. I have all her music. I was a little disappointed with her album and the push back from January 29th to her birthday 7/7/17. But I really need her to make a musical come back. She need to talk to Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, and Beyoncé. Someone should help her. It's like her and Luke James need to revamp their careers

[@joshuamcdowell5782]

Luke James acts as well. He played Johnny Gill in the New Edition movie and he was in the movie Black Nativity with Jennifer Hudson, Angela Bassett and Forest Whitaker. He also had roles in TV shows like Star and Unsolved. Maybe Sevyn should go the acting route like a lot of artists whose music careers have failed.

[@jamalwashington2128]

Sony always doing this to great artist 👩🏼‍🎤 like Kelly Rowland

@ she does consistently... let's not attack the artist... the labels are shifty and thats that.

[@D3stiny1130]

Personally i been rocking with her since Richgirl she was always my favorite and her vocals are literally amazing so it sucks to have been riding for her music this long and shes not getting the proper recognition.

Yessss

[@JennHayden]

thumbs down to everyone who didnt support RichGirl. they were underrated. (so were Danity Kane and Electrik Red).

[@TGFLdn24]

Which just goes to show that music fans (majority) need to be spoon fed on what type of group and genre and what time to like and support. I remember a interview where a music exec said that he had a girl group that was ready and talented but held them back a year because the music public was not ready for a girl group....You would think any good and talented group would shine anytime? music fans are not honest or real a lot of the times, we do play a part of the foolishness in the music world.

[@Atlstreetpodcast2.0]

It's Because She Not Light Skin!!!!

[@xniaxm2967]

R&B as a whole is not being promoted like it used to be. Janelle Monae said they treat R&B like its a bad word. Her skintone may be a factor.

[@xniaxm2967]

@THEwhimsical1 Ella Mai is one of the only R&B singers actually signed to a black label SIS. So the label actually cares about her music. Thats was smart on her part and DUMB on everyone elses. Her music is good. Her pen game is good and yall hate her because shes light skin for real. Shes never been rude to any of these folks and yall hate her for existing. She legit only spreads love to women in R&B. Check her twitter nothing but tweets about the other girls music.

[@xniaxm2967]

@THEwhimsical1 yall really think bringing light skin girls down is combatting colorism. Yall stupid and crazy af. Thats why ppl call drakskin women bitter. Worry about your ppl and lifting them up. All the time you spend hating could be spent streaming and buying Sevyns music. Get a damn life.

[@UmmFulaana]

It's because she has a boring aura, stop reaching

[@b1ack684]

Blck Ntrovert TV why do ppl always feel to include skin color? Makin me feel bad😐

[@youaintgettingmyhandle]

The last I heard about Sevyn was when the Sixers said she couldn't wear her "We Matter" BLM shirt while singing the national anthem, only to be rescheduled for another time. Sad though, because she's a good singer. I can only hope for the best for her.

[@Darkcoalworld]

She should do a collab with normani.

[@robgreene9680]

Her and Chris made some magic

[@downtownon7thavenue]

Colorism is very real. There’s always discrimination against pretty brown and dark skin women because we have the ability beauty wise to compete against the standard and no one wants the standard to be tested. All the brown and dark skin girls that face discrimination are always attractive and better looking than the lighter and non Black women. They industry has no problem with dark skin women who can’t compete per se beauty wise (Gabourey Sidibe) but there’s a reason Kelly Rowland and women like seven didn’t pop off and it has nothing to do with lack of talent. People don’t want that type of beauty to be the new standard. Great video as always.

[@drizzydrae9790]

I Like Sevyn! I'm a fan and I am rooting for her to be on top we need her in the music industry. Maybe her and Kelly Rowland and all the dark skin girls can break down that wall.

[@RayneyKayLa]

Man black folks are scary....they won't just create their own label ! Like we literally are the talent! Just create a label or group with only dark toned women

[@drtash21]

I think to go independent is very hard because you have to do and pay for everything yourself on top of making top quality music. On top of that you're having to compete with the major labels who have all the money and the connections to the top radio stations and have the power to block artists from being played on the radio. In theory it sounds great and in a perfect world I'd love that but black people we have no real power in this thing called music.

[@kdooley41]

it's a shame skin color surpass talent.. But im glad she is multi talented.. Honestly these days everyone needs several skills to rely on.. No just has to mean next.. I wish this young lady all the success and love life has to offer her...

[@kjones11]

I understand that there are many who want to be in the spotlight. But we should all know by now that the money is behind the scenes, especially in music. I feel like black people have been conditioned to be the entertainer, not realizing how much more money is made offstage. Dolly Parton always talked about how “I Will Always Love You” made her a lot of money once Whitney covered it. Sevyn should stick to writing/producing and charge major $$$ for her work. A good song is hard to come by these days. She has the ultimate gift, writing.

[@AfricanGirl]

Aammeenn!! Yyaass👏👏👏 $$$$$ always behind the scenes

[@757Princess]

k jewels her goal is to be a star. She understands the benefits of being a writer and the income that comes from that. She wants to be a star, not just a writer.

[@AfricanGirl]

@@757Princess True. Some writers want to have that star experience also 😎

[@kjones11]

Olivia Ma'am I agree. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be a star. However, sometimes what you want is not what you’re called to be. On the other hand, if she really wants to be a star, it may be time for her to grind, AGAIN, and not wait for her label to support her. I don’t know what these label contracts consists of, but it seems like artists just sit in “confinement” until they are dropped. As far as Sevyn, I’m sure she can still reach out to Chris Brown for assistance. She just needs to build a strategy and reasonable execution plan, if becoming a star is her goal.

[@ShennellOfficial]

She wants to do what she’s passionate about it NOT always about the money. She has the whole package she can write, sing and dance and would rather have people acknowledge her talent for years to come not just stay hidden in the background. She should follow her dreams.

[@YungJRoc203]

DEE J Jordin Sparks DID write that song

[@deej5608]

@King McKinley No one ever mentioned Streeter EVER. J even show clips of Jordin Sparks and the guy on the piano and recording the song and I still didn't see her on that video. Of course I know multiple people can be on a songwriting but give that girl her credit if she's a part of it that's why I'm so shocked. The light skin girl gets her credit but the dark one doesn't come on now

[@SauceyTycoon]

Sevyn is good. All these artists need to do is go independent and cater to their fan base. You only need so many ppl loyally rocking with you to have a successful career. Nobody needs to be as big as the large names. For sanity quality not quantity and I know she getting residuals lol. Qish her the best.

[@keishamorris5571]

[@mikelowry2865]

I still bump “before I do” by Sevyn. That song specifically gives me Aaliyah vibes. She is so underrated and she favors Kelly Rowland. She’s an incredibly beautiful black woman.

[@MzYumYum69]

These record labels do female artists dirty especially sisters of a deeper hue. She doesnt know if she's still sign to Breezy's label? Damn, cant even do business with your own people. Smh Btw Empress im really liking your channel you are like the YT version of UnSung.

[@SirDave]

I love her. But what I will say is, I didn't care for her debut album. I felt like her 2 EPs "Call Me Crazy, But..." and "Shoulda Been There" before the album, 'Girl Disrupted', were Amazing, but her debut album was meh to me, and I feel bad because I love her and it hurts me to say that. There were a few tracks I loved on the album, but meh... It just didn't seem strong as her EPs. I felt like there were too many samples. It didn't seem original and creative like her EPs. She's a REALLY talented artist. She can SANG, Dance, and write her behind off. She's pretty, has a great spirit about her, and she has a great personality. I'm looking forward to her upcoming projects, and I hope she continues making projects and just doesn't settle for the behind the scenes money because I know that's great financially, but in her heart, I know she's an artist and it feeds her soul.

[@SkingloNafro]

Sir. Dave i agree with all of this, I felt exactly the same about it way too many samples I expected more from the album especially since ‘before I do’ was such a strong single

[@together4evrfamily530]

Amen to that

[@jessicarichards9540]

I agree! They sounded like great demo songs for other artist and I think because she’s so accustomed to doing that she doesn’t know how to really PULL.
