I hear so many people saying they don’t listen to their radio anymore because the music sucks. I understand. I work in the radio industry and still find myself listening to my iPod from time to time. The audience is constantly crying out for GOOD music. I often hear people say they miss the 90s…especially the music of that decade. I believe some of the groups and singers from that period feel the need to produce music that we’ve all been missing.

In a recent interview, SWV said, “The industry is so dry right now. It’s like a drought. It’s horrible. They need us. ” Their album “I Missed Us” is in stores now. Their first single Co-Sign sticks to the same sound they left us with in the 90s…smooth, bob-your-head, feel good music.

These artist are bringing hope back to the music industry. My wish is that up-and-coming R&B artist  produce better music so that we could stop listening to old CDs and cassette tapes…and so we could stop going back down memory lane with music. Will the Real R&B singers please stand up!

What artist from the old school do you wish was still out making good music? Who are some good R&B artist that get little airplay?
