R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Destin Conrad, FLO, Cordae, 070 Shake & More
Listen to new must-hear songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like Odeal and Mudbaby Ru.
Featuring performances from the likes of SZA and Doechii, a shade-throwing DJ set from Mustard and fiery renditions of nearly every song from his Billboard 200-topping Chromakopia LP, Tyler enjoyed a much-deserved victory lap at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday (Nov. 16). Shake and Love pay homage to Tim Buckley with a dark cover of his oft-revisited 1970 classic “Song to the Siren.” The intoxicating collab with the Hole lead vocalist came as a pleasant surprise on the LP, as listeners are left floating to space while simultaneously feeling paralyzed and sinking to the depths of the ocean. Airtight, melismatic harmonies smartly contrast with raunchy lyrics like, “‘Bout to make a movie, Spike Lee/ Try me, it’s godly/ That’s why you wanna be inside me.” Titillating start-stop production, rousing string arrangements and sexy snaps and guitar all combine for one of the best R&B deep cuts of the year.
