Whitney Houston’s overwhelming vocal power and emotional expression can’t help but move every listener.

Smokin Out The WindowBruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic80rank/position
The unit Silk Sonic, consisting of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, is known for its sound rooted in 1970s neo-soul and funk music, and they helped ignite today’s revival boom.
Among their works, the track I especially recommend for summer is “Smokin Out The Window.” Inspired by late-1970s neo-soul, this song boasts by far the smoothest melody in their catalog.
It’s a curious number that captures the warmth of summer while also making you feel refreshingly cool.
