Yung Bleu, Drake & Ty Dolla $ign Slide On This Week’s “R&B Season” Playlist
It’s Sunday so you already know it’s that time, once again. We’re back with another update of our R&B Season playlist that offers only the latest tracks in R&B and Soul that you should be vibing out to. Plus, it’s Sunday. It’s only right that you close out the weekend with some soothing vibes before you enter another week. Here’s the rundown:
Yung Bleu has been one of the hottest names in the South right now, having previously signed a deal with Boosie and recently linking a management deal with Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers. While his name is relatively fresh in the game, he received a co-sign for Drake that appeared in the form of a verse on “You’re Mne Still.” Bleu dropped off the remix to his single on Friday following much anticipation throughout the week.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get an album from Ty Dolla $ign that many hoped for. After changing the title to his forthcoming album to Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, an appropriate title following his dominance in the past two years alone, the rapper delivered a breezy West Coast cut with assistance from some familiar faces, Mustard and Jhene Aiko. The three artists connect on “Be Yourself.”
Justin Bieber blessed the SNL stage last night alongside Chance The Rapper but just before that, his new collaboration with Benny Blanco hit DSPs, “Lonely.” It was only right that Biebervelli made his way onto this week’s R&B Season playlist.

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
