Girl R&B Groups...Donde Estas?

I was getting kinda tired of HipHop for a while and decided to venture back to the R&B world and only found myself asking this question...What happened to all the good girl R&B groups? Remember SWV, TLC, 702, and even Brownstone? Haha yah those are throw backs, but seriously there's no more good R&B girl groups since Destiny's Child. Even they broke up and I can only stand Beyonce for so long.  Even just solo female R&B nowadays are a little bit too watered down, or outplayed[Cough* Lady GaGa cough*].  There's too many pop bubble gum girly artists out there like Danity Kane or Pussy Cat Dolls, all so commercial and annoying. Lastly, I sorta feel the male singers are killing the R&B game right now.  Hint: Drake, Songz, Dream, Lloyd and many others...

Anywho, here's a few female artist that I think should get a play or two in your ear drums:

   Tennille 

Her freshly sweet voice is heard on some of The Cool Kids tracks such as  "Alright Ok," "Jump Rope," and "Ass of Diamonds." These songs are not only pretty but they slapp too! A strong recommendation from me!

             

     Nicole Wray

Remember her from the Missy and Timberland Era? Her biggest hit was "Make it Hot" back in the day but she's still very much on the radar and has tons of tracks that have not gotten the most air play but are still a must listen tho! My most favorite tracks of hers is "I'm Looking" and "I Can't See." Her songs just say it all trust me...

 

Electrik Red

A risky girl group I must say...These ladies are an up and coming girl R&B group produced and influenced by The Dream. Despite their feminine looks, their music and lyrics are definitely on the edgy side and go against lovey dovey topics.  Some of their tracks may sound a bit vulgar but I believe it captures the way that contemporary women embrace their sexual power and freedom. My favorite tracks are "So Good" [both original and remix] and "Friend Lover." Take a listen if curious...

BUTTTTT...now that i think about it...this group really shows how much males are influencing the R&B world ehhh watevs!

There's many more but that's what I'm currently into as of now...Come on R&B chicks step up ur game please!
