Not saying R&B artists should be aping diva house at this point but it's a pretty good guide as to what kind of performance works and what doesn't. *This is weird given the entire history of DIVA HOUSE is pretty instructive here. Then again this may be all rolled in with post-Umbrella R&B - a lot of this stuff feels very different melodically from anything pre-2007 or therabouts, ballads included. You get these sort of fairly drippy, open "stirring" melodies that just don't convince up against the rest of the track, awkward halfway houses between ballad and dance banger.Ĭontrast to how effortless and at home Kalenna sounds over something like Matte Black Truck. DDM aren't immune from this, one of the reasons I don't rate Ass On The Floor as highly as most people is because the singers don't really convince over the top - when they aren't singing the "madder than a motherfucker" but they don't really sound like they know what to do over that beat. Not really interested in Kingdom wrt this debate but I think part of the problem with the danceification of R&B is that singers and songwriters haven't really got to grips with how the artists should sing over it*. Sure, but Dawn/Dirty Money seem better at swiping ideas from dance music than Kingdom is at swiping ideas from R&B I'm not sure what Fade To Mind would really bring to the table that these guys don't already do themselves?īut it's not like I'm against the idea of this project or anything. Sure, but Dawn/Dirty Money seem better at swiping ideas from dance music than Kingdom is at swiping ideas from R&B - at least on the evidence of "Take Me". if this happens (I HOPE IT DOES) Dawn would be like the perfect vocalist imo!
In a recent interview Kingdom said he'd really like to do an album with an R&B vocalist as the credited artist (he said maybe Naomi Allen) and all of the production by the Fade to Mind crew. Whereas the LTTP dance influences are kinda more like current electro-housey R&B but done better and more creatively (esp. There's something quite ostentatious about the way "Changes" bites from percussive house and "Black Lipstick" from drum and bass (and to a lesser extent miami bass - it reminds me of Janet Jackson's "Empty" slightly in this regard). Yeah I was thinking that too - but as you say, different touchstones. Yeah but Last Train to Paris did that too, if in a different way and with different touchstones. I don't think the duality is there, it more resides in their general songwriting approach - Dawn is very focused whereas Kalenna is all over the place (sometimes winningly so). I think we shouldn't ignore that Dawn has always done heavy bangers as well - it's not like anything on Book of Diaries bangs harder than "Superman" or "Runway". ― all i see is angels in my eyes (lex pretend), Friday, Novem2:13 AM (4 hours ago) Bookmark and yeah putting together my EOY lists dawn ended up at #5, higher than i thought she would.
