Nice to know Motown still holds new acts, but to me, 99% of all new music, is "not the same as it used to be".
I mean, I've last loved all of [[new) Motown around 2003, when there was Brian McKnight, Erykah Badu, India Arie, Remy Shand, and the Temptations was still making new great albums with actual hits on the Adult Contemporary R&B chart. Two years later, Kem and Stevie Wonder with new hits of awesomeness.
Even when Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Toni Braxton had that new album together, and it was Motown, I was optimistic and hopeful enough, two giants of the nineties on my favorite record company, to buy a copy, only that afterwards, after sampling a few tracks, concluded it was too "mature" for me.
But, I'm sorry. My ears cannot tolerate today's sounds of what is "hit" radio music, increasingly dependent on computers, voice modulators, and monotonous range-less voices, that oftentimes, I have difficulty differentiating today's pop and today's r&b from today's rap.
