R&B is one of the most dynamic, adventurous sounds in modern music, a place where art both personal and provocative meets the mainstream. From the alt vanguard to modern vets, straightforward to leftfield, these tracks capture where R&B is now and point the way to where it’s going. At the top of this week’s playlist is Muni Long’s “The Baddest”, from her newly released album Revenge. The liberating track finds the singer-songwriter realising her worth and knowing her partner doesn’t deserve her anymore. “You F’ed up, yeah, you fumbled/And I’m way too high sadiddy to be humbled/You used to make me cry, now I just laugh,” she swaggers. Listen to “The Baddest” on R&B Now and add the playlist to your library to stay up on the latest and greatest of the genre.
