Dive into Our Latest R&B Season Playlist, Normani & NxWorries Steal the Spotlight

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Celebrate with our freshly updated R&B Season playlist, featuring the week’s hottest rhythm and blues tracks. Leading the charge is Normani with her long-awaited debut album, DOPAMINE. This album is packed with standout tracks, but “All Yours” really shines with its ethereal trap vibe, subtle vocal harmonies, and catchy melodies. It’s a lush, unforgettable experience that you’ll want on repeat.

Joining Normani on this must-listen playlist is the dynamic duo NxWorries, a collaboration between Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge. Their new album, Why Lawd?, has already made waves on our Fire Emoji playlist. A highlight from this versatile record is “KeepHer,” featuring Thundercat. The track exudes chemistry and warmth, showcasing why these artists are so beloved in the studio.

Next up is rising star Tommy Richman with “DEVIL IS A LIE.” Following his hit “MILLION DOLLAR BABY,” this 2000s-flavored banger stands out with its moody, laid-back, genre-blending style. Richman’s vocals shine against a bouncy, West Coast-inspired beat, making this track an instant earworm despite its brevity.

Also featured is Khalid with his new single “Adore U,” a slow-burning, atmospheric gem, and Marsha Ambrosius’ “Greedy,” which combines soulful sharp snares, orchestral movements, and spotlight-worthy vocal arrangements.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood

Sarina

Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.

“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.

Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.

“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.

Girlhood finds summer warmth and quiet freedom on “Lemon Aid”

Girlhood

“Lemon Aid“ is a warm indie-pop ballad from Girlhood that finds comfort in the ordinary and weaves in a sense of release. This song is about surrendering to the moment, finding space to breathe, and letting a little lightness back in. This reflective core is surprising, given the warm summer-night feel of the track, hinting at a moment of emotional rebalancing.

Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes has a tender personality and fronts the slow-burning “Lemon Aid.” The production supports that softness, keeping the song’s gentle mood and intimate direction front and center. Beneath the comfort is a thoughtful examination of pressure, transition, and the need to pause.

The song’s link to the streets of Stroud offers yet another layer of art to the work. Familiar places can mean something when life feels uncertain, and the emotional scene involves storefronts, parks, cafes, and leafy, winding streets. “Lemon Aid“ searches for beauty in everyday places and rituals, finding still moments that mean something without getting carried away.

The track is the first release of Girlhood’s forthcoming album, “This Will Make Sense In The End,” a more reflective chapter with hope at its heart. “Lemon Aid” is about softness, conjuring a space where dancing, wandering, and just existing can feel like a cure. It’s an unleashing of small observations and soft emotional movement and a clear indication of the thoughtful direction that Girlhood is heading next.
