Kendrick Lamar & SZA – luther

A gem of a love ballad by Kendrick Lamar and SZA, where contemporary R&B and hip-hop blend seamlessly.

It’s a track from the acclaimed album “GNX,” released in November 2024, and it pays tribute to the legendary soul singer Luther Vandross.

The song delivers a message of hope—that beautiful love can flourish even in difficult circumstances—brought to life by Lamar’s rap and SZA’s emotive vocals.

Its mellow sound, evoking the end of summer, is perfect for those slightly lonely September nights.

This modern classic not only hit No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100, but also remains fresh in memory for its stunning performance at the Super Bowl in February 2025.

Khalid – in plain sight (Official Video)

Since earning wide acclaim with his debut album, American Teen, singer-songwriter Khalid has been at the forefront of the R&B scene.

He has now released the lead track from his upcoming album, After the Sun Goes Down, slated for October 2025.

Marking a departure from his previous chill sound, this new work is an exhilarating dance-pop track, shimmering with synths that evoke ’80s disco.

In contrast to its lyrics about breaking away from betrayal, the sound feels boundlessly liberating—an intriguing juxtaposition.

It’s a powerful statement of self-liberation from an artist who, in November 2024, shared his true self with fans.

This is a track that can give you courage when you want to shake off the past and take a step forward.

Man I NeedOlivia Dean

Olivia Dean – Man I Need

Singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, who’s been attracting major attention in the UK, has already proven her talent—her 2023 debut album Messy earned a Mercury Prize nomination.

Ahead of her second album, The Art of Loving, set for release in September 2025, she’s shared this new track.

Its theme is self-worth: knowing how one deserves to be loved and confidently asking for it.

The song’s driving rhythm and honey-sweet harmonies are irresistibly pleasant, a pop-soul groove that makes you want to dance.

She’s also expanding her reach by contributing the theme song to the film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.

This feels like the kind of track that gives you a boost when you want to feel more confident.
