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, GIVĒON’s “RATHER BE” is at the top of the playlist. The singer-songwriter laments a failed relationship to the point that he’s willing to stay and work it out rather than be with someone else. “I’d rather be a fool than believe in someone new/I’d rather be with you than the other half of someone who’s/Not even half of you,” he declares. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
