Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2025 Fridayy Philadelphia-hailing singer, songwriter, and producer Fridayy has been anything but short of work since performing a song-making chorus on DJ Khaled’s devotional 2022 hit “GOD DID.” Besides releasing his self-titled debut in 2023, Fridayy worked with Chris Brown, GloRilla, Polo G, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, Tee Grizzley, and even Will Smith, to name but a few. Yet “GOD DID” is what the general public knows him for. It’s a powerful song with equally powerful collaborators (Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, JAY-Z, John Legend), but with  Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not , one of hip-hop’s favorite chorus artists is out to prove there’s plenty more to love. Like the voice of Fridayy himself,  Some Days I’m Good, Some Days I’m Not  is both inherently gospel and R&B, the singer splitting his time between devotions to significant other and to higher power. You can hear how enamored he is with a particular woman...

F**k A Friendzone 2 Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2025 Jacquees   &   DeJ Loaf As the lines between rap and R&B have grown increasingly blurred, sometimes the only thing to do is go back to basics. Neither Jacquees or Dej Loaf are old enough to claim unc status, but both singers know the power of classic R&B. No trap beats or bells and whistles—just straight-up baby-making music. It’s been eight years since the pair released the first installment of their  Fuck a Friendzone  mixtape series, but their chemistry endures on sultry duets like “Favorite One” and “You Still Belong to Somebody Else,” which nod to the sexy, sincere radio R&B of the 2000s. Amid all that velvety-voiced crooning, there’s just enough drama to keep things interesting, like Dej’s sly admission on the slinky “Myself”: “Thought I had a man, whole time I had a lady.”

$ome $exy $ongs 4 U Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2025 PARTYNEXTDOOR   &   Drake On the cover of  $ome $exy $ongs 4 U , we see PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake tricked out in furry winter gear, posing in front of a pair of buildings that’ll be familiar to anyone who’s ever driven past PND’s hometown of Mississauga, on the western fringe of Toronto. Now, the Absolute World high-rise condos may not be an internationally recognized landmark on par with the CN Tower (which famously graced Drake’s 2016 blockbuster  Views ), but it’s a fitting visual emblem of the more low-stakes, bringing-it-all-back-home ethos that defines their first full-length collaboration. Even your grandma knows that 2024 was a rough year for Drake, so in that sense, Mississauga represents a proverbial safe space where he can recalibrate and experiment outside the limelight alongside a loyal protégé who’s stood by his side through thick and thin. $ome $exy $ongs 4 U  was originally advertised as an EP to ...

Hurry Up Tomorrow Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2025 The Weeknd On what was meant to be the last date of his 2022 tour, The Weeknd took the stage at Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium, but when he opened his mouth to sing for 80,000 screaming fans, nothing came out. Over the past 14 years, Abel Tesfaye has experienced what you might call pop’s glow-up of the century: When he emerged from obscurity as the faceless voice behind 2011’s noir-ish  House of Balloons  mixtape, nobody could have guessed that he’d be headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show a decade later. But that moment onstage triggered what Tesfaye has since described as a breakdown, inspiring a period of intense reflection on his life and career—and  Hurry Up Tomorrow , his sixth studio album. Tesfaye has called  Tomorrow  the final chapter in the trilogy he began with 2020’s  After Hours , the album that launched him into a new stratosphere of pop success, and continued with 2022’s high-concept...

Sincere (Deluxe) Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2024 Khalid Khalid’s journey into the music industry began at 19 with the release of his acclaimed debut album  American Teen —a coming-of-age story filled with the trials and tribulations of burgeoning adolescence. Khalid’s unfiltered lyricism and earnest portrayal of adolescent frustrations and anxieties resonated with many and propelled him to stardom. At 21, he released  Free Spirit , a soulful meditation that saw the singer-songwriter shedding the naivety of his teenage years and marking his first step into adulthood. Half a decade after  Free Spirit , Khalid is back and better than ever and ready to show his fans his growth with the release of his third studio LP,  Sincere . “I needed to take that break,” he tells Apple Music. “I needed to stop. And I don’t look at it in a place of being afraid to come back. If I’m going to take this break, when I come back, I’ll come back with more clarity. I’ll come back with a better c...

Those years, filled with lessons, learning, and even trauma…it’s all in the past as the   AAA -era starts from today. This album signifies us letting our supporters in, sharing more of our lives, and giving out more of   us .” Access All Areas   strikes at the sounds they’ve always dreamed of—guided by the razor-sharp writing, education, and smoot...

Cut Ties Album ∙ R&B/Soul ∙ 2024 Kiana Ledé Kiana Ledé is known for her signature blend of authentic storytelling and unapologetic lyricism, which is evident across all her albums. Her sophomore effort,   Grudges , was a raw exploration of trauma, mental health, and relationship struggles. Now, on her third LP,   Cut Ties , she reflects on her personal growth and evolution, and embraces her inner strength. Throughout the album’s 11 tracks, Ledé narrates a story of a past romantic entanglement, grappling with the uncertainties of their connection. She explores the internal battle between embracing a newfound love and her instinct to protect herself (“LTF”) while also realizing the inconsistencies within their partnership (“U Can’t Remember”) and discovering the unreciprocated feelings that are taking place (“Space and Pussy”). On the candid and mellow track “Too Many Strings,” the singer-songwriter uses metaphorical imagery to describe the progression of their relationship,...
