The music landscape is completely different now compared to before. We have the Internet, UA-cam, download sites like ITunes, streaming sites like Spotify, EDM. Once EDM completely became the new sound and globalized pop music, urban music was never going to be the same. It had to adapt with trap and rappers like Lil Wayne and Kanye West and Drake and Future in order to stay commercially relevant, especially on network terrestrial radio, which is in general fighting for survival in an era of the Internet in general.
no pullout list. she's from the era where women were naturally pretty without all the plastic. she's still prettier than half these build a body bitches out here now!
I miss Real R&B and I hope it comes back around. Everything today is hip hop influenced, there's no balance anywhere. Some day I hope something will change and we can get soul R&B, R&B groups and artists back. Bring that old thing back.
The old school groups are back and making music. They aren't getting pushed by radio though. New Edition came out with a new song called for me and you. Tyrese's album was traditional R&B. Check out Evan Ross.
Jamar Hall I'm deeply up on those that are doing real R&B today, I'm just saying there is no balance and those that are doing real music like you said aren't getting the play they deserve. Back in the day artist did full R&B albums with not one rap feature. these days everything has to have a feature. Its like no one can do it on their own.
I applaud Mya. She is such a classy and well articulated woman. I like that she admits her learning lessons in life as far as her career are concerned. She is still a fabulous artist almost 20 years later on the scene
I love how poised and sophisticated she is. Very hard to come at her with just "SEX" talk when she is so poised. Some women you just can't do that with. She's one of them.
Trap music is probably the most repetitive, lazy, and unimaginative form of popular music in history. No one tries to stand out anymore, they all use that same sound. It is so easy, and automated to make now. No quality control. I honestly don't understand how people can hear the same sounding crap all day everyday and still love it..But, to each is own.
Imo trap hasn't been good for a while now. Jeezy, Gotti, Gucci, TI and others time has passed them. Young Scooter was pretty good but he has fell off and I thought the Migos were gonna carry it but what they're doing isn't authentic trap muzik. Plus one reason it sounds the same is because a lot of the pushed trap rappers are from the same parts of Atlanta and other parts of the south so they all have that same style. Then a lot of them put people they know on to help them out (even though they're trash) so its just getting worse. I do like Young Dolph though.
Music serves different purposes for different people over time. You think there won't be something even more lazy and repetitive that the people who like trap music now will complain about in 20 years? There will. There always is. Capitalism will just give people what their base, reptile brain really wants until we are all running around like animals again.
A few years ago, I almost bumped right into her as she was walking out of a nearby Post Office. I immediately recognized her without any makeup and she was still just as beautiful without it. She has a very good vibe as well.
I am very glad that Mya has grown into such a respectable, intelligent woman. I grew up with her music and she is the one of the few ladies who is a good example of maturity for my generation. Much love and success, I will be picking up the ep's and album.
@@georgepascual1 Coming from some project baby who can't even get near her and she's not even that famous. Count the miles on your mother, maybe you'd be more accurate.
She still looks super young and drop dead gorgeous! I just love listening to artists of the 90's on down speak on the differences from then to now. Brought back memories when she talked about CD singles and cassette singles (Cassingles). I still have both formats of her "All About Me" single. Going independent was a great move, but long overdue!
Mya has grown so much, as an artist, a singer, a woman. Still one of the best dancers in the game, I would love to see her get a push, better than most of what's out there today.
Never heard her speak, she sounds informed and intelligent, just as beautiful as she is. I remember when she came out, she still looks fine and has aged well. Her music has transitioned over the years trying to stay up on what is making it. Some of it good, some not so. But I hope she continues to stay active in the industry, much success Mya.
dudes leaving nasty comments are the type thats in they 30's waking up in a twin size bed with wet stains in they underwear from having wet dreams and shit lmao
I still buy her music, but it's a said it is what it is reality. Her music is still phya & I still sing along with her cause her talent is undeniable. So thank you Mya for everything you've done; "After Glow Show" is that melt down!!!
One of the DMV's Finest right there and she speaks the truth! R and B radio has gone by the waysides and its been replaced with garbage. Where's the love songs or the great ballads of yesteryear?? She is completely right! Nowadays you gotta have a rapper on your song to be accepted? Crazy, but true. I love her by the way and black don't crack at all! She been in the game for almost 20 and still look good. Extreme good head on her shoulders!
A few years ago ,when I had jury duty, the lady who did the organizing in the waiting area told me about celebrities she's seen summoned. One of the celebrities she mentioned was Mya. She said when Mya was there she checked in during roll call but no one recognized her because she was wearing a disguise
So glad y'all interviewed her. She duin her thang. She dnt needa be all on tv n in the media to be recognized cuz her true fans like me support n keep up wit her music. Do yo thang girl. Wanna hear them japan albums tho.
Mya is so gorgeous. I saw her live a couple years ago. I remember singing 1 of her songs from 1 of her independent albums, and she looked at me and was like "you know the words" that made my night
This is the most mature, pleasant, polite, sexy, unoffensive, safe, thoughtful, considerate, and professional way I've ever heard someone say: "ALL THIS NEW SHIT FUCKING SUCKS."
Basically what she probably was missing. Female artist back then had that signature producer. Brandy- Darkchild Aaliyah- Timbaland TLC-Dallas Austin Kelis- The Neptunes
I love Myas honesty and her drive shown here...imma have to check out her recent music now. I've recently revisited Tamia as well whose Love Life album was fire. Like 90s R&B singers are still out there doing there thing...we all need to revisit them.
I haven't seen Mya in a while so when the video started playing I was lost in her beauty. I had to replay the first 5 minutes because I wasn't paying attention to anything she said. True story.
Mannnnnnn I miss a good R&B station. Mya, Aaliyah, Janet, and TLC made my high school years. Nobodies comparing today.
Exactly 🙌🙌🙌
Facts
everything that's out today is garbage every body wanna mimic each other and not be different
Dallas TX does good with rnb so does a little rock Ark station I forgot tha name of the Arkansas one but 105.7 krnb Dallas TX is very good all rnb

Willy Beeman oh yeah I'm definitely up on him!

She looks like a glowing angel.
Luke James always has.
Real ones like her don't fall off
She's absolutely beautiful. completely flawless.
💯
Why? Because of her ridiculous overused makeup? Stupid.
+Yorel G. Your music is garbage. Give it up. A haterade stance won't help it.
***** Welcome to real music. It isn't mainstream. But I'll take that as a compliment.
Relax virgin she has make up on.
So glad to see she's embracing the new era while still talking about the good of the old. No bitterness towards new artists! Loves it.
Mya is one of the most articulate interviews from an artist I have seen. Well done!
I applaud Mya. She is such a classy and well articulated woman. I like that she admits her learning lessons in life as far as her career are concerned. She is still a fabulous artist almost 20 years later on the scene
I love how poised and sophisticated she is. Very hard to come at her with just "SEX" talk when she is so poised. Some women you just can't do that with. She's one of them.
exactly
you'd be surprised....
The way she speaks is so clear and precise. A british accent would fit her so well because she speaks so meticulously. I could listen to her all day.
@@Go-Getter Exactly, people fall for the mascara
@@Go-Getter Spoken like a true fool who doesn't understand the word NO.
Yes, Mya is fine. Glad you all got that out the way...I'm more impressed by how intelligent she is.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT!!! R&B is starting to fade away 😞
Bae! I love how she articulates her thoughts.

Finished on "Unforgiving" 😂😂
You hit it on the head. Every other song is so similar. Ugh!!

She hasn't aged, is very articulate and extremely talented.
A true Libra.... Love her!!! 💙💙💙
A few years ago, I almost bumped right into her as she was walking out of a nearby Post Office. I immediately recognized her without any makeup and she was still just as beautiful without it. She has a very good vibe as well.
Amazing how she is still so gorgeous, probably more beautiful than she was in the 90's. I can't wait to hear her new stuff, I always loved her voice.
love this interview. hear her talk about going independent. she's very smart. glad to see her still doing music
Damn! Mya is still beautiful. She looks the same way she did back in 1998. "Case Of The Ex" still bangs.
She is still so beautiful. Inside and out. Her words and energy are so magnetic and strong. Such a gift to humanity ❤️
Oh gosh...Mya. I forgot about you...... The childhood obsessions ARE COMING BACK!
Glad I'm not alone here. Haha.
Yup!!!!!!!
How you forget a classic beauty like MYA!! :)
I am very glad that Mya has grown into such a respectable, intelligent woman. I grew up with her music and she is the one of the few ladies who is a good example of maturity for my generation. Much love and success, I will be picking up the ep's and album.
She's really grown and learned so much. Keep up the great work girl! Beautiful as always. Love Elevation Suite is still my favorite ep from her.
Mya is so beautiful and talented...AND Underrated!!
Mya is educated, talented and business savy. All around beauty. The interviewer had no charisma at all.
damn she hasn't aged at all
still looks cute huh
right
that's make up my dude, if you know anything about women.
Exactly makeup works wonders. Ud be amazed at how some of the prettiest women look without it.
EXACTLY, lol.
What a breath of fresh air! She's so intelligent and this interview makes me miss 90s R&B.
Love you Mya since long time I've grown to appreciate her over the years. Looking back she was cool. seeing how music is now she was a gem.
She's a class act. Beautiful and intelligent, and an all round talent.
Intelligent
Stunning
Charming
Women!!!
best damned comment I've read! no racial madness - thanks Kev E on
da bof of em?
Can't sing for shit, didn't write any of her own music, was a no limit toss joint
blastercombo audio stfu mya can sang
@@georgepascual1 Coming from some project baby who can't even get near her and she's not even that famous. Count the miles on your mother, maybe you'd be more accurate.
Not many women like Mya left in this world. Beyond her attractiveness, she incredibly intelligent with a great spirit.
what does intelligence have to do with swallowing nut
+Tyrone Biggums dead
Glad to see Mya again. She's grown very professional... Like she went back to college and back... Good for her.
I am so turned on by how smart she is.

+Based 98 lol yup

ya'll need to chill lol!
Impressive. A creative artist with business savvy. That's what's up!
All of us 90s brothers had a thing for Miss Mya, and still do!
This woman is aging very nicely.
She still looks super young and drop dead gorgeous! I just love listening to artists of the 90's on down speak on the differences from then to now. Brought back memories when she talked about CD singles and cassette singles (Cassingles). I still have both formats of her "All About Me" single. Going independent was a great move, but long overdue!

Mya knows her business, glad that is still making music. We need to see more educated women being highlighted.
Keep releasing video segments like this.
The interviewee (Mya) is articulate, informative, and easy on the eyes.
I'd never pull out in a million years
she aint on flames fam her lipstick dnt match her top colour u kno thats a no go
+Tancredi Beats nigga what
+Tancredi Beats wtf you sound stupid...and clearly you don't do makeup
You'll learn one day when you're on papers with a crazy baby momma who you're stuck with since you went for looks instead of mindsets!!
oh I'd pull out but as soon as I get it together I'd go right back in
She is so damn classy. That makes her even sexier. The epitome of a LADY.
100
I thought the exact same thing
+dee 8o8 Well people are caught on images. She appears classy but being classy is linked with education and is a full-time habit.

A true lady - natural, intelligent, polite, pretty, creative. It's a shame women like her don't get the promotion they deserve these days.
Best interview from this channel in a long time. Love this young lady and her style. She makes ALL women look good.
The lighting is perfect on her!! She is a beautiful woman..

She is the kind of beautiful that you just stare at and just say "wow"...

lol crazy story
I can believe that from her. Mya always lays low lol
I could listen to her talk all day, so well spoken, making true valid points
One of the best interviews I've seen. That independent move gave her a lot of wisdom on the industry.
R&B needs to make a comeback!
She definitely deserves a full body angle.. 💯
and you knoooow daaaaaaaaaaaat lol
she seems like such a sweetheart
I love you Mya!! Sooooo talented and very well spoken, not to mention beautiful!!
Dropping some heavy insight and knowledge in this. The game has changed up a lot.
A woman of class and wisdom.
Mya is doing her control breathing technique, because her love is like "Whoa".... True story....
Genius

Loved her since I was 6 in '98
Man this woman had me mesmerized...

You just spoke the realest truth .
I'm so obsessed wit her now 😍 I really hope she makes and gets her career back on track 💯
Great Interview...I was hypnotized watching and listening to the beautiful Mya.
Mya & Pharell use same facial crème to never age, still soo fine!
Nope there black you stupid asf
Kyle Wayne's calling Mya fine and you get weirdos coming out the woodwork with comments that make no sense, smh @ dumbasses
Mya is so goddamn BEAUTIFUL.
Glad too see you.Ms.Mya.nice interview..you speak very well..hurry up & make & album..pls..Miss Uuuuuuuuuuuu😇💕💞💘🙌
Finally, a well spoken, intelligent, informed music artist.
she's still fine and she's spitting some GAME with this music. I love seeing her.
Is she a vegan? That would explain why she hasn't aged! Flawless😍
Imagine if Pharrell & Chad had produced an entire album for her, shit would have been legendary Mya x The Neptunes !!!!!
Fresco Stevens or timbland
Basically what she probably was missing. Female artist back then had that signature producer.
Brandy- Darkchild
Aaliyah- Timbaland
TLC-Dallas Austin
Kelis- The Neptunes
@@NYCKZ360 also Amerie had Rich Harrison 🙂
I love Myas honesty and her drive shown here...imma have to check out her recent music now. I've recently revisited Tamia as well whose Love Life album was fire. Like 90s R&B singers are still out there doing there thing...we all need to revisit them.
Looks amazing, great personality and not just a great singing but speaking voice too.
Damn she seems so classy. I love that
Damn I could watch her talk all day
"What made you decide go to the independent route" rough ass interviewer lmao
W
I just thought that lmaoooo
no smooth transition and unprofessional language. Mya was composed all the time.
I haven't seen Mya in a while so when the video started playing I was lost in her beauty. I had to replay the first 5 minutes because I wasn't paying attention to anything she said. True story.
Dear Jah,
May Roots Reggae Music take over the world. More Love,light and blessings to the world. Thank You Jah.

Mya still gorgeous!!
I met her back in the day... she's just a sweet as she looks.
Damn she still looking good as hell !
Wow! Mya is very well spoken. I never knew much about her but always had a crush on her growing up in the 90s lol
I appreciate natural beauty and she from the 90's!
Classy lady!
