The 2017 Alt R&B Girls Rate | Full Results in the 3rd post, I'm too embarrassed to openly continue this rate

Hi.

 

So I'm sure most of you here are familiar with the annual FOTP Faves Megarate that's also happening now.

But I thought, instead of the faves that are highly praised by rabid stans here, why not rate the faves that are highly praised by the critics and.....the rabid stans here.

Then there were other options for 'critically acclaimed' albums: Melodrama, MASSEDUCTION....well those were all my other options.

But I felt more of a connection towards the Alt R&B albums this year, a genre that I hadn't bothered to delve in before 2017.

And that's how @Vulnicura., which is I, became the host of this rate.

 

So let's talk  choosing the albums for this rate.

Kelela was an absolute no brainer, so was SZA, since they both delivered two of the best albums of this year. 

Trip got a lot of attention (for its length mostly), plus Jhené is one of the more better known alt R&B artists.

ISON, while being alt-R&B, was also very trip hop influenced, so Sevdaliza would definitely be an interesting addition to this rate.

 

 

Now I'm sure at least one of you is wondering where is the good sis Kehlani?

Well unfortunately SweetSexySavage is considered to be more contemporary R&B and ........ well it's complicated.

So instead I added Sabrina Claudio, who I'm very sure no one here except for two people has heard of, so she would be a discovery for many.

About Time is also undoubtedly alt R&B so it was easier to choose her.

Also 'critically acclaimed' might be an exaggeration, considering only 2(/3) of these albums have received positive reviews, while one is commonly labelled as 'sleep- inducing' and the other one... hasn't been labelled at all.

So let's see what are the albums (+ extra content)!

there's more!

 

why not rate some of the alt R&B singles of this year?

BANKS — Underdog

BANKS — Crowded Places

Dawn Richard — Stopwatch

Cashmere Cat — Quit (feat. Ariana Grande)

Cashmere Cat — Love Incredible (feat. Camilla Cabello)

Jorja Smith — Teenage Fantasy

Kali Uchis — Tyrant (feat. Jorja Smith)

Rina Sawayama — Cyber Stockholm Syndrome

Tinashe — Flame

 

 

so let's get to the boring/important part about this rate:

 

 

new Rules

1. Rate every song from 0 to 10. Understandably there's a lot of songs here, so the extras and the bonus content from each of these albums will be optional.

The 5 main albums are however required to be scored.

2. You can give one song in this rate the elusive score of 11, optional but strongly encouraged.

+ You are also given the option to give a song a 10.5, just in case you have difficulty choosing an 11, (again, optional)

3. Trolling scores will be disregarded. 

4. Decimal places are allowed, but don't go crzy.

5. You are allowed to send commentary with your scores, optional but encouraged.

6. Score changes are allowed in case you have a change of heart or you get more familiarised with your scores.

Just be sure to send them before the deadline.

dear brother

am I still asleep?

last night I saw you

and you told me there's a minirate

*bell noises*

 

rZVK5qV.png

the interlude/short-track minirate

So I saw this idea on another forum  and I thought it would be perfect for this rate since every album here had interludes, or short tracks that aren't really interludes but can't qualify as actual tracks.

Again this will be optional and will be due when voting closes.

Scoring is a bit different here: you rank them from your favorite (9) to least favorite (1).

 

Jupiter

SOS

Bluff

Wavy

Do You Feel Real?

LSD

Clear My Mind

Bad Trip

there's no bad song on the album, so whoever shamed you for liking Frontline should be ashamed of themselves!

I don't need overly positive scores, it's your opinion, just score it fairly that's all!

Although you always have the option to change your scores!
