How “midnight ballerinas” took over R&B

From the 80s up until the mid 2000s, women who made r&b had a constant presence on the pop charts. And what was so special about that time period is that there were so many different flavors of female r&b artists.

The industry these days is not looking for originality, they’re looking to copy what’s already successful. And in a sub-genre that’s already very underfunded like female r&b, these women are going to be encouraged to copy similar themes and habits to sell records.
