R&B Is Not Original Everybody Sounds Like Somebody
Inspiration usually comes from others, but that does not mean it is an imitation. Yes, Sevyn Streeter will draw a close comparison to the late Aaliyah, with her smooth alto tone on club beats or Glen Lewis may take plenty of vocal cues from the legendary Stevie wonders' riffs, but all artists have formalized their own creative identity. It is easy to make comparisons, but listen a little closer to see the differentiation between singers before you make a snap judgment comparison.
