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, Mariah the Scientist’s “Rainy Days”, off of her newly released album <i>HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY</i>, is at the top of the playlist. The introspective track finds the singer-songwriter struggling with her feelings of resentment towards her partner. “I put forth an open heart and I’ve been hurt/Looking back in retrospect, that ain’t what I deserve/Want it back in blood, and blood I’m going to get/And still I pray for love instead of common sense,” she sings. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.

A mix of laid-back hip-hop, R&B and the occasional chilled-out electronic soul track, this playlist is calibrated to carry you into low lights and late nights. Because 'after hours' doesn't mean it's over. We regularly refresh this set with new music. If you like a song, add it to your library.

If you’re after just the hits, this is where you’ll find them: a handpicked selection of R&B's biggest songs of the past few years. Our editors update this playlist regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

Change is good, but a lot of the best R&B points back to the source. Focusing on current stuff with some classics sprinkled in, this playlist highlights grown-up R&B tunes with hints of the classic tradition: relaxed new sounds with the same old soul. Our editors are always switching things out, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.

This is the space for all that’s new in R&B. Crossover ballads, modern hybrids, fresh sounds that call back to the past—if it’s got that vibe, you’ll find it here. Selections are updated regularly, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
