Tommy Richman – BOTHER ME (feat. Brent Faiyaz)

Are you familiar with Tommy Richman, the Virginia-born artist who sparked a global sensation in 2024 with “Million Dollar Baby”? Among the tracks on his EP “WORLDS APART*,” released in November 2025, this one shines particularly bright.

Featuring Brent Faiyaz—an influential R&B figure and the head of his own label—this collaboration is a mellow number wrapped in a nostalgic 90s R&B vibe.

Its themes weave between the hardships of his days working for minimum wage and the lingering loneliness that persists even after achieving success, revealing the raw emotions behind a glamorous world.

With an alternative edge that still feels intimate, it’s a companion that will resonate with you on late-night drives or quiet, solitary evenings.

Roy Woods – Supposed To Be My Lover

Roy Woods is a skilled singer from Brampton, near Toronto, Canada.

As a flagship artist on Drake’s prestigious OVO Sound, he has gained popularity with a unique style that fuses a cool, airy atmosphere with dancehall rhythms.

The track in question, included on the EP “Flower City Heartbreak” released in November 2025, is an R&B number that condenses a complex mix of lingering attachment to someone who should be a lover and self-doubt into a brief runtime of about two and a half minutes.

Following his 2023 album “Mixed Emotions,” it’s a quintessential Roy track that deepens his move toward more introspective expression.

It’s the kind of song whose aching vocals will sink into your heart when you listen alone on a long autumn night, reflecting on a relationship with no clear answers.

GIVĒON – TWENTIES (Official Music Video)

With his rich baritone as his weapon, singer Giveon is at the forefront of today’s R&B scene.

While his appeal lies in a refined style that reflects the influence of neo-soul, this work, released in February 2025, expresses a particularly poignant sense of longing.

As he approaches 30, he sings about the regret of spending his precious twenties on a love that didn’t last, positioning this track as the lead song that symbolizes the album “Beloved.” The warm sound of live instruments and his candid admission of his own immaturity truly resonate.

It’s a breakup song for adults—one to listen to when you want to sort through past love and move forward, or when you’re alone on a quiet night, lost in thought.

Jessie Murph – I Stay I Leave I Love I Lose (Official Visualizer)

This track, added to the deluxe edition of singer-songwriter Jessie Murph’s debut album Sex Hysteria, is a serene alternative R&B number that portrays the cycle of pain and codependent love passed down across generations.

While carrying trauma inherited from family, the protagonist finds themselves repeating the same patterns—a story conveyed poignantly through a husky vocal and delicate piano.

Released in November 2025, the song features contributions from powerhouse Nashville songwriters including Laura Veltz, who helped craft its narrative-driven lyrics.

It carefully depicts the struggle of staying in a relationship despite knowing it will hurt, and the gap between the illusion of being able to change someone and the reality.

It’s a track especially worth hearing for anyone grappling with dependency in relationships or feeling on the verge of losing themselves.
