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 “I CAN TELL” from his just-released album BELOVED is at the top of the playlist. The soulful track finds the singer-songwriter yearning for someone that he knows he can’t have, even though she’s conflicted with her feelings for him: “I’ll admit it, I’m a bit impatient/If you let me, I’ma take his place, yeah.” We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
