Playlist #1: 10 Jams by Contemporary RnB Divas

This week has been for the feels. I’ve been discovering and rediscovering some of my favourite contemporary RnB Divas. Just a side note that some of the music may not fit neatly into the RnB category. Here’s what’s currently on my playlist.

1. Jazmine Sullivan – Let It Burn

This whole album is fire (was actually nominated in this year’s Grammys) and I suggest you listen to all of it. Flawless vocals and sultry sound.

2. Melanie Fiona – Bite The Bullet

I can’t believe how underrated she is though! This is one of my favourite songs from her.

3. Ella Mai – Don’t Want You

My favourite new find. Can’t get enough of her voice and her music! This and ‘No Rush’ are my favourites on her mixtape.

4. Kehlani – The Way feat. Chance The Rapper

This song is reminiscent of a bygone era. You need to prepare yourself to watch this video. The choreography is A level.

5. Kali Uchis – Never Be Yours

I’m obsessed with her style and her voice. This is one of my favourites from her.

6. Tinashe – Vulnerable

I don’t know why this song wasn’t released as an official single! It’s pretty dope.

7. Teyana Taylor – Undercover

I like the 90s feel to this song and the video. Reminds me of SWV. Very fresh.

8. Sevyn Streeter – Say It (Tory Lanez Remix)

This is basically a reply to the Tory Lanez jam but it’s still a great song. Her voice is goals.

9. FKA twigs – Good To Love

FKA twigs isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I’m a huge fan and this is a beautiful song.

10. Keke Palmer – I Don’t Belong To You

She’s all grown up now and this is the song that proves it! I like. A lot.

Bonus Track

11. Lianne La Havas – Unstoppable

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Lianne is something special.
