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, Tems is at the top of the playlist with “What You Need”, an introspective standout track off her EP Love Is a Kingdom. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
