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, Lizzo’s “IRL” off her newly released mixtape MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING is at the top of the playlist. The upbeat SZA-assisted track finds the duo unfazed by comments from critics and naysayers, as they are self-assured in who they are in real life. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
