Smooth & Easy Listening, Vol. 2

Don't let the title fool you—this is a playlist with plenty of heft. Some tunes question the meaning of religion in the modern world, while others plumb the depths of love and loss. Featuring newer talents alongside familiar superstars, the mix features a blend of vintage soul, post-millennial R&B, and brassy, emotive pop, all with an emphasis on deceptively smooth sounds and memorable voices.
