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, Fridayy and Mariah the Scientist’s “Death Do Us Part” is at the top of the playlist. The mellow ballad off of Fridayy’s latest EP Everybody Got Somebody tells the story of two lovers who choose each other even when staying together isn’t easy. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
