Another reason I think we’re not seeing groups is because music is different now. Today’s idea of popular soul R&B music is more similar to techno influenced music. The artists’ vocals and music are highly infused with a techno/ electric sound, overly enhanced vocals and hip hop rhythms. This is the new make-up of soul music.
All in all I think this is really unfortunate for the state of the music industry from an artistic standpoint. Artistically, groups offer variety and a blended harmony that is not replaceable by solo artists. I don’t care how many vocal tracks solo artists can they stack on top of one another, it’s just not the same as having a group harmonizing together, in my humble opinion. Soul groups offered a different dimension in the live performance when it came to dance moves and being in sync with each other on stage. Overall groups added to the dynamic of soul R&B music and without that, there is definitely a void in the music industry. I know one thing though, whomever is the first to successfully bring back the soul R&B groups, will probably have a long lasting career because they will be responsible for breathing a certain amount of life back into the music industry.
The record lables killed the r&b groups cause they got to send a&r’s out to scout for fresh new talent you can’t blame the artist.

It actually is the advertising that kills groups and solo artist record company’s should at all times advertising for everyone like they are the hottest thing on earth but they do not. I feel they tend to discard artist when the artist want to express that they do not want to be a puppet or take on a company’s views or play their politics so their new sound would not be heard by all because they only release certain artists and let everyone know and do not on some!!!!!!!!
