In spite of having to languish in Aubrey's shadow via the utter lack of promotion afforded to OVO Sound artists not named PartyNextDoor, Majid Jordan are hard at work on their third album which should drop by year's end.

L.A. singer-songwriter Otis Kane got his start in the industry working for legendary producer Nellee Hooper after dropping out of college. From there, he transitioned to musical director for Capitol artist Lolene (remember her? Me either) and then opened his own studio, STRZ Enterprises, which led to working relationships with the likes of Nick Jonas, Wiz Khalifa, and Julia Michaels. He then transitioned again to full-time producing, working most notably with Pink Sweat$, and branched out into recording music of his own. After getting placements in projects like Queen Sugar, Good Trouble, Hair Love, and Angry Birds 2, he finally released his debut album, Purple BLUE, last month.

[LBTrocks]

"Good Love" is a major bop!

"Tidal Wave" was fantastic and got screwed!

Overall tho, I have been pretty happy with how this has played out!

Amber Mark is another SoundCloud success story as the songs she started uploading in 2016 caught the attention of record execs overseas and led to a deal with PMR/Virgin EMI. She released her critically acclaimed debut, 3:33am, in 2017. Competition is her 12th single inside of the last three years; no word on when the sophomore album will finally arrive.

[SHOOTER]

I'm still hurt at the way y'all dragged her down to the lower half of the top-10!!

Jenevieve is a 22-year old singer-songwriter from Miami with Cuban, Bahamian, Spanish and French roots. She's had her sound compared to the likes of Whitney, Michael, and Alicia Keys with just four independent releases under her belt, Midnight Charm being the latest.

[back2blk]

I’m hurt. Amber stays underrated. Her sound is so throwback fresh.

[Ty]

Amber Mark and Jenevieve are the future of R&B! I love almost everything they've put out so far. I need their debut albums.

[Sambalada]

Amber Mark and Jenevieve leaving before top 5 is TRAGIC.

I heard this on Apple Music, it got stuck in my head and I threw it on here to see if anyone else would like it. I had no idea this random song from this girl no one's heard of would finish top-5!

Somewhat Loved was written by Mariah and The-Dream sometime during 2011 and left languishing in the vault until Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis called on Mariah to contribute to their debut album, Jam & Lewis, Volume One. The song is currently her 23rd top-20 hit on Adult R&B.

[singingrulebritannia]

Rooting for a "Tragic" and "Lost You" top 2

LOST YOU was the second single released from Snoh's third album, TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES, and is currently her third top-20 hit on Adult R&B.

[back2blk]

I think we all know who’s topping this one

[kimberly]

@ me pushing down Snoh by putting her at #4.

"Tragic" and "Pasadena" are my Top 2.

[SHOOTER]

With 22 points, NINE #1s, and no bottom-3s between them, the winner of our inaugural series is...





*INSERT SUSPENSE*

[CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker]

NOOOOOOOOO

Lost You losing is just a robbery
