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, Chris Brown’s “Holy Blindfold” is at the top of the playlist. The atmospheric track finds the singer-songwriter feeling grateful for his partner during difficult times. “Lost and I can’t find my centre/Cocaine helter-skelter in my chest/Ooh, your arms provide my shelter/Only way I sleep through my unrest,” he sings. We update this playlist regularly. If you like a track, add it to your library.
