The R&B Season playlist is here yet again with another soul-soaked update, and this time, it comes with a big look for upcoming Coco Jones. “Why Not More?” has arrived for good, and it’s making a dramatic entrance. At only 14 songs, “Why Not More?” is anything but small. It’s a bold, genre-warping testament to Jones’ vocal elasticity and emotional puddles, each song serving up a unique slice of the modern soul pie. Over silky, sexy grooves or spikier, more spirited bangers, Coco sings like someone who’s here to stay.

“I wanted to see what sticks and what lands what really changes my life,” Coco said of the album. That raw ambition courses through the album. It’s exploratory but not aimless. From thoughtful slow jams to sensual, radio-ready hits, Jones sounds like she’s already figured out what works for her and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries. Not for “On Sight” if you’re trying to get started. It’s playful and magnetic and captures just the right amount of latent charisma Coco Jones brings to the mic. It’s also one of the more pumped-up tracks on the album, so it gives you a sense of her skill in the diplomacy of designer pop’s decorousness and real vocal chops. When that one catches, the rest of the album makes for a ride worth taking.

While Coco takes center stage this week, R&B Season also reserves space for another new drop, Roy Woods’ Dark Nights. It’s a moody, late-night counterpoint to Jones’ sophisticated revolution of R&B, nine slow-burning tracks that sound intimate and cloudy. Woods is committed to the atmosphere, with his high-pitched tones and dreamy flows creating an immersive, sometimes other-worldly listening experience. Yet the heart of this playlist update is the one and only Coco Jones. With “Why Not More?,” she asks the question and answers it. And by the sound of it, judging by this debut, there’s far more greatness yet to come.
