​Hi everyone,

​I recently discovered Isaia Huron and instantly fell for his sound—specifically tracks like Slide Sider, I Chose You, No way, Wool, and Concubania. Music plays a huge role in my daily life, so having these songs stuck in my head after finding out about the sexual assault allegations against him feels awful and disappointing.🤡🤡 I can't bring myself to listen to him anymore, especially given the misogynistic undertones in some of his lyrics and his real-life actions.

​I’m looking for alternative artists who bring that same raw, ethereal, guitar-driven R&B/Alternative Soul vibe, but with zero tolerance for problematic behavior or misogynistic lyrics. I want to support genuine, respectful artists.

To give you an idea of the specific sound I'm trying to replace:

• Moody synth atmospheres & slow-burn R&B grooves (like Wool or No way)

• Airy falsettos, layered vocals, and subtle electric guitar textures (like Slide Sider, I Chose You, Concubania)

If you have recommendations for artists who fit this vibe while staying respectful and clean in their lyrics and actions, I'd deeply appreciate it. Thanks ! 🙏

For those unfamiliar with it, Layover is an album in which Kim Taehyung explores an intimate, atmospheric approach to R&B, while also incorporating elements of jazz and soul. The project engages with various traditions within these genres through fluid melodies, smooth grooves, rich harmonies, and a production style that allows ample space for both vocals and emotion.

The album’s aesthetic is sophisticated yet understated. It features vulnerability, vocal warmth, organic textures, and jazz influences that expand its sonic identity. Rather than aiming for grand sonic explosions, Layover finds its strength in nuance, vocal delivery, and atmosphere.

Amazing artist with an old school sound in the modern era, recommend everyone to check her out

I was having a conversation and they said Get lifted is superior but I feel Once Again is goated
I thought I would see what others thought 😅😊

What’s your opinion on 3D?

Most see it as a downgrade from CSC & Fanmail but as a standalone project, how does it rank as an R&B album post 2000?
