Ariana Grande Holds Down This Week’s “R&B Season” Playlist

Ariana Grande has truly grown in front of our eyes. From her days as a child star to blossoming into the international pop icon that she is today. The past few years, specifically, have shown a ton of musical growth on her part. She’s undoubtedly a talented singer and that’s been showcased in the past but the songwriting and production behind her have been refined.

Not only has the growth been showcased but the hustle has, as well. She’s pretty much been releasing an album a year since 2013 with the exception of 2017. 2020 may have thrown off plenty of releases but Ariana Grande came through with her latest offering, positions. The fourteen-track project includes appearances from Doja Cat, Ty Dolla $ign, and The Weeknd but some of the best moments are when Ari is left to shine on her own. 

This week’s R&B Season playlist update includes new music off of positions starting with “my hair.” Delivering a jazzy feel, Ariana enlists Scott Storch, Charles Anderson, Tommy Brown, and Anthony M. Jones for the song’s smooth, upbeat vibes. We also got the titular single off of the project which also served as the leading single.

We also got some recent cuts from H.E.R. and THEY. who released new projects last weekend. Check out the latest update of our R&B Season playlist.

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Honk Magazine Filter

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
