What Happened To '90s R&B Group Kut Klose? | Did Keith Sweat Do Them Wrong?

[@sadiki1980]

Kut Close, Jade, Brownstone etc. they were all underrated.

[@mrty8330]

This group deserves an Unsung episode for sure.

Yeah we need to hear from them.

What happened to R&B in general? I know I'm in my 40s now, but it seems like either the good R&B stayed in the 90s, or lots of artists aren't being promoted. I love Kut Klose, and can't wait to blast their album later tonight.

[@keithdube12]

Theres still really good RnB out today its just not being promoted as much but there are still amazing modern artist like SZA and Shea Butter Baby by Ari Lennox is one of the best Soul/RnB albums to ever come out that year in my opinion. Its definitely worth a listen

[@kobekold]

Man you’ll never know how much this message hits!!

[@ladyofjazz448]

Same here. R and B kinda died with a lack of talented artists to actually sing the sultry vocals that defined 90s r and b. Now it's all autotune. The only talent still left around in the r and b world is Chris Brown. It's a lost era and the music scene hasnt been the same.

[@MeeYeeWeeWee]

@@ladyofjazz448 it's out there you just have to actually look for it

[@ladyofjazz448]

@@MeeYeeWeeWee yeah, I've looked and not really found much. Chris brown is probably the closest thing left to that rich flow, and not all autotuned like many artists are nowadays. I did like Jeremih, August Alsina, Miguel , but still, that was some years back.

When you sign to vanity labels and not directly to the major label, you place an expiry date on your head. If the main artist/producer leaves or doesn't like you any more, you're finished.
