Can we talk about SiR?
Main Post:
It’s always a treat when he drops but this last album ‘Heavy’ hits different to me. (in a good way)
His evolution as an artist has been so underrated in my opinion.
Here’s my question:
Is it fair to draw comparisons to him and D’Angelo or does that undermine the body of work D’Angelo has graciously blessed us with throughout his career?
This isn’t a MJ vs Lebron type debate just an appreciation of two artists who make you feel similar emotions.
Top Comment: When I think of DeAngelo, I think of his skills in songwriting, composition, band leading, vocal production, and multi instrumental ability. I mostly think of SiR for his incredible tone that’s to me the ideal R&B hook voice. He also is catching some amazing production and features being tied in with TDE so he’s got a lotta things going for him. I think with his No Evil video he was pulling a card from D’Angelo and the How does it feel video. That video propelled D out of the music nerd group and into heart throb, pop star status. I think this may the goal for SiR too. D’Angelo makes albums that are cohesive and feel like they were poured over and meant to play from start to finish. He records in a much more old-school way with reel to reel tape and take after take with the same musicians on all the songs. That’s a very different process from someone whose process is primarily singing over beats made by other people. Not knocking but we’re comparing. Sir has about 8 perfect songs for me, which is the highest honor I can give, but his albums still feel like a collection of songs where you pick your favorites. That said I hope he gets all he is going for cause he’s also a music nerd from a legacy musical family (check out his brother D smoke) and we need more actual musicians in music.
[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Sir - HEAVY
Main Post:
It's been 24 hours, sounds pretty different compared to Chasing Summer. How do you think this album compares to his other work and other R&B albums from this year?
Top Comment: This is my first album from him that I listened and I love it. Really digging it and all the features were great. My favourite track was Poetry in Motion and You. Going through the rest of his discography rn.

Is anyone else just here for Sir?
Main Post:
And I'm not just saying this because he's a complete Zaddy. The parts of the show that don't involve Sir are very poorly written. The crimes of the week often suck (some have knocked it out of the park, Missing while Indigenous was my favorite), the other characters are very stilted in what I would imagine is the writing team trying to give them airs of mystery. The other actors are doing their best with what they're given, but Mark-Paul is nailing this role in every fashion. I'm tempted to make this a day after show so I can fast forward through 90% of the episode.
Anyone else?
Top Comment: He’s the only reason I still watch. Not just because he looks good but he is the most compelling character. He also grates my nerves.
SiR Steps Into the Spotlight and Sells Out House of Blues Dallas

Top Comment: We need to bring back concert reviews, especially in an environment where tickets cost so much and most performers don't actually care about their live performances. a SiR concert sounds like a vibe. “Man, you know it’s a trip coming back from all the shit I’ve been through over the last few years. I know everybody was going through it during the pandemic, but I was really going through it during the pandemic. I was dealing with addiction, but I am glad to say today that I am well past three years sober,”
[FRESH] SiR - No Evil

Top Comment: SiR isn't the TDE member I need rn, but I'm never mad when he shows up
SiR recommendations?
Main Post:
I’ve been listing to John red corn on repeat , anyone have a SiR playlist or something i can start listening to with similar song by him or?
Top Comment: Chasing summer was a good listen. Summer in December for older joints plus his new songs like nothing even matter and life is good are worth a listen
Should I sell my tickets to see SiR?
Main Post:
I love R&B artist SiR and bought tickets to see him in both Houston and in Los Angeles for what was the final show of the tour (before he added another date). Since the tour has been going on people have been posting videos and I'm disappointed to say he sounds terrible live. I have been a fan of his for almost a decade and I'm afraid if I see him live and the singing is egregious it will affect my love for his music. Should I stay delusional and sell my tickets or should I be delusional and believe all of those people just caught him at the wrong moment and that he will sound better when I see him?

Do what you want
What do you think of being called ma’am or sir?
Main Post:
As a 29 year old woman I feel respected when someone calls me ma’am. I relate it to a person who has been in the military or who has been taught to respect people.
