    LOW-KEY R&B GEMS (2000-2010 Edition) Playlist

    LOW-KEY R&B GEMS Playlist was actually supposed to be a megamix that I was going drop last year, but technical issues derailed my plans for that. There are two decades worth of R&B/Urban Pop music that I always felt to be heavily slept on by the masses, regardless of a few of these artists actually being popular at the time. Other artists that I feature on the playlist are not heard from at all today, while some never were. That is the basis of this curation. Since I turned 10, I loved going to the music store or to Target to buy CDs and listen to music from artists that…

    SOUL TIES Playlist

    SOUL TIES playlist was inspired while I was listening to several songs that have a beautifully nostalgic 80s-electronic-r&b vibe to them but were actually released between now and the early 2000s. This is another playlist that I am taking my time with building. There are some songs that aren’t available to stream which I will eventually add to a mix version of this playlist later this year. I hope everyone that comes across it enjoys and that it takes them to a dreamy place like it does for me. Yes, that is Prince and his soulmate Denise “Vanity” Matthews on the cover. R.I.P. to them both. Follow me on Apple…

    MMXX ERA R&B (Playlist)

    MMXX ERA R&B is the first playlist I have created for this year, inspired by the new era of r&b resurgence that is taking place. Any of these artists deserve to be mentioned when it comes to modern “R&B” debates, which seems to be coming up often lately in the media. Do not sleep on these gems! If I could afford it, I would already be your favorite smooth DJ, with all the best selections you might not have heard before. Luckily, I am at least able to create my beloved themed mixes, and I am now curating playlists on Apple Music. Follow me there to keep up with my…

    FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL Mix 2

    My second Female Intuition Is So Next Level mix is truly special. I played this one a lot over the past weekend and each time, it listed my spirits much higher than they were. In the same mindset of last year, I am featuring art which channels certain highs and lows many women tend to experience in life. It features new/revamped versions of classic, meaningful jams by Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu, and Jill Scott, as well as some wonderful new-generation voices I recently came upon. This year, I have come into a deeper realm of understanding of what it is to not only be a woman in this…
