R&B Now
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, SZA and Kendrick Lamar’s “30 for 30” is at the top of the playlist. Over a sample of the 1979 R&B hit “I Call Your Name” by Switch, the duo trade verses about wanting authentic relationships and calling out the haters. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
