Brit, bey, Justin, Etc. - Don't Expect Too Much EDM

Feel like JT's new single wasn't worth the six year wait? Then you may be in for a rude awakening when it comes to major releases this year. While there's no doubt we'll get a handful of dance singles here and there, it looks like some of pop's biggest names are looking to release more R&B inspired jams or urban club hits.

Let's discuss the only relevant artist here: Britney Spears. I am getting more excited about album 8 :3

I only want this from Britney because I have WAITED all my life!
eaglefan2011 15th-Jan-2013 08:53 pm (UTC)
good, i love r&b
hoechlingurl 15th-Jan-2013 08:53 pm (UTC)
Only here for Godney. We all know Thiefyonce's album will be 90% stolen songs and JT's may be mediocre.

I'm all for something other than EDM, just not R&B.

I don't get why some people want it back so much. 90's R&B was amazing because most of it mixed R&B with pop (kinda like what Adele and others did with Soul/Indie Rock) but this new R&B shit is terrible and boring.
cageyb 15th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
NOPE @ you co-signing Adele & Co.'s boring-as-fuck blue-eyed soul while throwing brilliant actual Soul/R&B artists like Miguel, Dawn Richard, Brandy, Frank, Elle Varner, Janelle, Beyonce, Maxwell, D'Angelo, etc. under the bus.

Like two of the people you mentioned actually have done anything noteworthy....

And some R&B is still good but most of it like JT's new single and "Nuclear" is horrible and that seems to be the kind this article is alluding to.

"boring-as-fuck blue-eyed soul"
Whatever your opinion on it is, it doesn't matter. It mixed soul with pop melodies and slayed because of it.

ITA. I miss the 90's.

oh7 15th-Jan-2013 11:17 pm (UTC)
lol I've gotta ask, what other time periods of r&b have you listened to?
illiade 15th-Jan-2013 08:54 pm (UTC)
JT would've been less disappointing if he'd moved on from Timbaland.
leprince504 15th-Jan-2013 10:12 pm (UTC)
esp since Timbaland's proven multiple times he can't get a hit without another artist being involved
leprince504 15th-Jan-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
*as the artist, not as the producer
nicolesnitchie 15th-Jan-2013 10:53 pm (UTC)
um no
loverswalk 15th-Jan-2013 08:55 pm (UTC)
thank god
cluelessraf 15th-Jan-2013 08:55 pm (UTC)
I'm actually really glad Justin didn't release a EDM track. Lbr, he started that trend (along with Gwen Stefani)... I respect him wanting to produce music that he enjoys rather than appealing to the masses.
floetcist 15th-Jan-2013 09:12 pm (UTC)
I think that was Gaga.
cluelessraf 15th-Jan-2013 09:14 pm (UTC)
No, I'm pretty sure Gaga was taking notes from Gwen's "LAMB".. don't even try with that one.
retromaury 15th-Jan-2013 09:30 pm (UTC)
Bitch pls

Madonna had electro elements on her album "Music"
pistol_eyes 15th-Jan-2013 08:55 pm (UTC)
Good, Electro needed to be shown the door at least 2 years ago.

I'm really excited about Justin and Bey's albums. I hope they're successful and other artists will follow.
mylittlerants 15th-Jan-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
THIS. I am starting to realize how much most everyones taste here is trashy pop. Not trash-pop, but trashy, untalented, auto tuned, cheap thrill, hit pop.
lidahbidah 16th-Jan-2013 12:58 am (UTC)
Yup. ONTD is showing their horrible taste right now, and it's funny to see.
juanbomb 15th-Jan-2013 08:55 pm (UTC)
quality rather than hit potential?

They call that JT song quality?

...............

There's really good EDM, not everything has to be like Starships, looks like EDM will go back to being shunned again, so stupid.
vampireweekend 15th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
i need britney's album in my life
undoard27 15th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
i have so many high expectations for Bey's album omg

also just waiting for Britney to revolutionize the music industry again with a new pop music trend <3
cluelessraf 15th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
I do too, 4 was legit!
juanbomb 15th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
Lol @ Britney revolutionizing anything.

and Beyonce will probably flop, as always.
floetcist 15th-Jan-2013 09:15 pm (UTC)
3 million worldwide isn't a flop.
nicolesnitchie 15th-Jan-2013 10:54 pm (UTC)
bitch u tried it.
persephonefive 16th-Jan-2013 01:42 am (UTC)
girl please don't even try it
mylittlerants 15th-Jan-2013 10:09 pm (UTC)
britneys music has sucked for years now. i love her for all the good reasons, but IDGI. I am only 24 years old, I shouldn't feel "too old" for this type of music. It's fuckin' trash is what it is.
chantemarissa 15th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
I'm waiting for King Maxwell's album. The snippet of "Gods" >>>

and d'angelo's album if it gets released this year
chihaya19 15th-Jan-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
is d'angelo finally clean?
chantemarissa 15th-Jan-2013 09:05 pm (UTC)
yeep. he talked about in his gq article, i think.
fauxparadiso 15th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)
I just want Bey to drop her first single but at this point she's not going to do it till the Super Bowl.
ediesedgwick 15th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
I love brit but I am feeling so ambivalent on her new album. I want an album that is either legit good and different than what everyone else in pop is doing, or I want an album I can work out to (ie EDM, even if it's generic)
janeeyre 15th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
I need a link for the song.
