Motion for R&B

Ty Dolla $ign, Chris Brown Motion

They say your style changes with the seasons, and the same could be said for music. Over time, a certain style of music you love starts to alter, as new artists make their own sound choices and developments. Hip-hop overall has expended in sound in general. From the SoundCloud era, to drill music, and everything in-between. One topic that has been present in recent months is: is R&B dead? Perhaps not with this new single.

Artists in the hip-hop world have generally become more at peace with their emotions, and have found a way to voice them through their song. But old R&B hits like Miss Independent, You Got It Bad, and Let Me Love You, seem to be gone with the wind. Artists like Summer Walker, Kehlani, and SZA are all incredible and very much still active today, but you do not have a ton of those radio hit, summer smash of the summer, like the early 2000s. However, with this conversation being top of mind, some of your old favorites have something to say about this.

Yesterday, Ty Dolla $ign released new single Motion, featuring Chris Brown. This is a power duo in the R&B space, and the song is sure to get you on the dance floor. A modern day, upbeat tempo, with the vibe that just makes you feel present and compatible with all of your surrounding R&B aficionados.

Chris Brown last released an album, Breezy, in June of 2022, which peaked number 4 on Top Billboard 200, and 2 on Top R&B Albums. Ty Dolla $ign’s last album was Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, which was featured in “Best Albums of 2020” by Complex, Uproxx, Noise, and Cleveland.com. The album contained massive features from artists like Lil Durk, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Post Malone, Anderson. Paak, Quavo, Young Thug, Future, Roddy Ricch, Kehlani, Jhené Aiko, DJ Mustard and more.

These guys definitely have a powerful impact on the music industry, and they always say there is power in numbers. Are you here for a powerful comeback from R&B this cuffing season?!
