R&B is one of the most dynamic, adventurous sounds in modern music, a place where art both personal and provocative meets the mainstream. From the alt vanguard to modern vets, straightforward to left-field, these tracks capture where R&B is now and point the way to where it’s going. This week, Queen Naija’s newest single “rain…” is at the top of the playlist. The sexy and sultry track finds the singer-songwriter eagerly waiting for a night of passion. “When you get me in that mode, I get dangerous/The way that my body tremblin’, you think you gotta call the ambulance/You make it do all of the things I thought it never could/So what you waiting for?” she lilts. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
