HER is mad boring. Nothing interesting. At least she can sing in cursive a bit better than her female counterparts (ie Jhene, Ella Mai, Summer, SZA).

Problem is, her music sounds the same. Also her look as well, she doesn’t have to start dressing all sexy immediately—but I notice that that’s what she’s doing anyway to start a new era or whatever. HER fell off, she got the push by that Drake clearance n with iconic producers on that one project. Now, she is focused on that Marley man.

She’s following the Lauren Hill route I guess.

I agree. She could do like a weekly vlog like Saweetie does to connect with her fans better and show her quirky side. I think she’s just one of those that happens to be super talented but shy/private.
Ion think she’s shy at but busy and don’t want ppl to know who she’s fucks with. U don’t blow up in the business without screwing the right ppl. It’s none of our business but she’s in the studio a lot but she doesn’t want her personal life out there ppl are haters and n words are no good and ppl will put the tea out there if they find out who’s she’s dealing with but it will be someone with a name that she can get clout off of if she releases it to the public.

Those sleazy fuckbois & fuckgirls if she messes with women besides the occasional 3way she keeps lowkey lol. I got the vibe her & ToneStith had something going on but females like her as much as I like her music I wouldn’t trust them around my man!

That’s y I thought she was going to fall off hope she learn from LH, n words are bad luck for the women in the Industry. Time reveals all. I hope she doesn’t do the reggae ep.

U just said what the lesbians said the other night when I pulled up playing her music they wanted nothing to do with her bc they felt she used the fluent/bi thing to seem edgy yet never mess woth females. Ion know but she’s get back on that train I’ll be gon again. Not a good look imo everyone know how those ppl are!

Yeah I actually didn’t know that she was Half Asian when I first saw her
I knew she was mixed bc of the things she was into & wasnt a stereotypical black girl. Her mind is different. Not saying all black girls the same but mixed ppl We see thing multi dimensional!

I bet pennies to donuts she will do like a lot of Asian women with weak jawlines and get a implant with eyelid surgery.

She's pretty but her baby face will work against her later.
And she was a rather peculiar looking child prodigy.
Methinks she's already had the implant work done.

People listen to her music they don’t care about her fave. Most still don’t know what she looks like behind her glasses

Is H.E.R amazing? Absolutely, very talented. But be mindful of letting yet ANOTHER mixed woman in your space and then be mad when they take over and your representation (SZA, Ari Lennox, Summer, Etc) is left in the dust.

I hate when people make criticisms of an artist and people jump to ‘Well you all just want to listen to ratchet music’.

I like some of H.E.R’s earlier music but it’s generally just a little lifeless to me. She’s just a bit bland. Really talented though.

Don't act like you weren't playing FOCUS constantly for the entire era.

I like her vibe. She has a lane and she seems like an all around musician. She obviously studied the greats. Vocally, she is not on the level of a Brandy, Whit, Bey, etc, but she has a good voice and uses it well. You can tell she studied Brandy.

She is purchasable.

Wait besides thinking she's boring, people actually have a problem with H.E.R.?


Why are we always dogging our artists like this? Then in the next Ariana Grande thread we'll be complaining that our dark-skinned female artists don't get the shame shine.

Me tired.

Her and summer walkers music is boring as hell. And its not that i cant get into slow music. Au contraire there are lots of slow songs i love and listen to. I just dont like any of the music ive heard from her.

Um. She may be ‘darkskinned’ but shes not black per se. shes biracial. She said up there in the song that was posted that she is philipina

Her music is calming and for adults so if u looking for ratchet hood bops or upbeat fast tunes all the rest of them are making those tunes but yes she does put me In a calm state but her rapping is energy!
Have you listened to Nao. Her music is calming aswell.

I agree I hear nothing but grown folks music and let be real a lot of black ppl
Wanna hear ratchet hood bops tbvh!

So black people are too ghetto to appreciate HER? Bye! Not everyone has to like jhene aiko druggie type music boo. “sHe’s fOr gRoWn fOlKs” headass.

No boo, Chaka Kkan, Layla Hathaway, Ledisi, and Anita Baker are for grown folks. HER is an industry plant. The vocals ain’t THAT great.

After watching the BET cypher & saw how she spit those bars, I’m like she can rap better than most new rappers, Sing, play instruments & she’s an actress! She really doesn’t have any competition tbh.
(I know I hated when I had my crush) there’s some other great singers that can sang that hasn’t blew up but she can do everything plus she’s smoking hot! (When I can get past her alleged taste in men)! Name an artist who’s better I’ll wait!


Of course it's going to take the Queens to get R&B back..

Represent ladies!!!

Because it was already top 10 hit 33 years ago. Duh.

"Making Love in the Rain" is the third single by Herb Alpert from his Keep Your Eye on Me album. It features lead vocals by Lisa Keith with back-up vocals by Janet Jackson. It also features the rare occurrence of Alpert playing a muted trumpet, since he normally plays without one.

"Making Love in the Rain" was a big success on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, reaching number seven. In the 1987 US Billboard adult contemporary chart, the song is peaked at number 21. The song did moderately well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 35.

This ...

She's cool. But I don't see how her music is any different from any of the other R&B girls right now.

No it isn't, including the song concept she seems to have "borrowed" from Mya



"you can do you can do you can do damage ..."

I hope she gave Mya some credit, especially since Mya's song is way better.

She def has bars. I prefer her rap style to rnb honestly. Her rendition of Jungle by drake is what made me take interest. Her verse on BS with Jhene was FYEEE.

I ONLY take interest when she's rap singing. Her regular stuff does NOTHING for me. But what we not gonna do is insult her talent, she is a contralto and an instrumentalist. HER is definitely one of the more talented artists on the scene in EVERY GENRE.

I’m tired of the hypersexual black/mixed women image in the media and I like calm music so she’s a current favorite. Judging by how WAP and other hoe anthems chart It’s clear HER’s kind of music isn’t everybody’s cup of tea but that’s fine. Different strokes for different folks

So tired. They need mentorship not a platform to confuse and recruit more of this nonsense.

Very talented woman but I agree with a lot of posts in here. Her music definitely has a drowsy effect. I do like some of her songs, but her music is an acquired tasted.

She’s talented but idk about being a threat to other R&B singers. I like HER but there are other singers in the genre with more range.

I'm glad I watched her perform on SNL. Their sound mix is trash but hearing her live without all the autotune really made me see her talent.

Damage's beat reminds me a little of I Wanna Know What Love Is - that song always takes me places.
