  • R&B singer, songwriter and record producer Donell Jones dominated the ‘90s and early 2000s music scene with his own unique blend of the genre combining old school soul with a new school vibe. It would later be revealed that the passion in his art, that would give him so much success, was drawn from his own life experiences. The success wouldn’t take all his problems away though, in fact, it created even more.

    Donell Jones, Case, Joe, Jon B, Brian McKnight, Avant, Carl Thomas, Montell Jordan, Al B. Sure, Dave Hollister, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, D'Angelo, Maxwell and Tevin Campbell don't get enough credit in R&B

    Interesting... Darnell Jones. When he first came out, I was obsessed w/ _You Should Know._ I'm actually listening to it right nah. His debut LP was cool, but I wasn't quite head over heels for it. Nah, his sophomore LP...WHEW! I think we all feel the same way about it so I won't go down the line and pick it apart song for song, but wow. What an LP. After that period, I know a few songs, but I was no longer invested in him. I actually really love 2006's _I'm Gonna Be._ I'll let that song loop on repeat for hours on end and be completely satisfied. Nah, we're in the middle of the aughts and I'm completely displeased w/ the state of R&B. The records stores started dissolving one by one and it just wasn't fun anymore. I was already grown by then so I figured, I done already had my fun so get over it and move on. That's exactly what I did. Anyway, I find it interesting that things start going sour around the artists' third LP. It never fails. The umbrella labels curiously dissolve and a lot of internal things start happening. Nah, Darnell is good on record, but live... I never knew that he couldn't sing live. I found out when he was on Auntie Mo'Nique's show back in 2009. Sometimes I'll check for his live performance and just be rollin'. He's been through a lot so I try to cut him some slack, but DAMN! He don't need to be on nobody stage soundin' the way he do. He also need to quit making new music because history shows (for most '90s R&B artists) that folks ain't showin' up for it and only wanna hear the classics. I don't make the rules. I simply look back at history. Artists just end up w/ hella ghost LPs in they catalog.
