“We cannot walk away from our roots.” The Choirmaster has spoken. 👏🏾 Leah’s Lemonade 🍋 leahahenry asked #RickyDillard to weigh in on the viral conversation about why today’s music, particularly R&B, doesn’t sound the way it once did. The discussion was sparked years ago by producer #JermaineDupri, who argued that fewer young people growing up in church is contributing to the decline in the quality of modern music. For generations, the church has been a training ground for some of the world’s greatest musicians. But according to Dillard, it’s more than technical ability that’s missing; it’s the soul. He believes the rich cultural and spiritual foundation that once shaped the music has been replaced by a more commercial, widely accepted sound. What do you think? ✨🤔#blackchurchtok
