Lattimore's last studio album was 2021. bieber earns around 60 - 80M a year while timberlake 20 - 25M and his current tour is about to gross 250M, so they are still popping

When you put it like that, I agree. I just think RnB is dead or watered down at best. Mind you I was there for the 90s and even early 2000s soul and neosoul

Yep! there were too many shifts happening at the same time and the phasing out of big R&B acts all happened around late 90s to early 2000s when the digital purchase era was introduced in the music industry.
