Playlist Highlight: VinylHoops

VinylHoops’ Rated R...&B playlist is a sultry exploration into the genre, where sensual grooves and soulful vibes meet in an intimate musical experience. With a weekly refreshed roster of 86 songs, this playlist isn’t made up of just any old songs, it’s designed for a listener who craves an escape into a world where every moment exudes soul sexiness.

Immediately, the playlist wraps you in a warm blanket of velvet that bridges the gap between modern R&B and its classic roots. Familiar names like Joji hold hands with rising talents such as princess melia, whose fresh sound, despite her underground status, adds a unique perspective. 

"Until Morning - A COLORS SHOW" by James Vickerry is a chilled-out, stripped-back tune that channels the nostalgic essence of classic UK R&B, where every note speaks of late-night musings and early-morning revelations. Its minimalist production is a soothing reminder of R&B’s timeless appeal.

"Seasons" by Franco K adds another layer of depth, delivering a muggy vibe punctuated by juicy guitar breakdowns that make you stop and go, “damn, that’s hot.” When it’s time to ease into something gentler, "take it back" by Chantelle offers a soft alternative, stepping into R&B’s introspective side all while keeping a rhythmic pulse that moves through your body.

⁠Rated R...&B is a seductive collection that invites you to indulge, letting the world melt away as you lose yourself in its drunk beats.
