4 Of My Current Favorite R&B Songs

"Contemporary R&B (commonly referred to as simply R&B) is a music genre that combines rhythm and blues with elements of pop, soul, funk, hip hop, and electronic music." Here are four of my current favorite R&B songs.

1. "Girls Need Love" by Summer Walker

Summer Walker is such an amazing artist. She uses this song to emphasize the double standards between men and women expressing sexual desires. She has a way of making singing sound so natural. This song has such powerful and truthful lyrics but is also such an easy song to listen to.

2. "You Got It" by Vedo

This song recently went viral on TikTok and I totally see why. Vedo sings about how he encourages this woman in a bad relationship to go and work on herself without him. He emphasizes that she does not need this man in order to be happy or successful. This is basically a really good hype song for women who need that extra push to love themselves first.

3. "Take You Back" by Russ ft. Kehlani

Their voices together are just so perfect. Russ has a very soothing voice and the contrast compared to Kehlani's higher range is so flawless. Russ doesn't need to rap in order to sound good and I love that about him. Kehlani has a great mix of strong and dainty aspects of her voice and it just really mixes well with Russ's more masculine sound. This song is about a post break up and contemplating taking a person back. The song itself is very relaxing and laid back, so it's perfect for any mood.

4. "BLAME IT ON YOU" by Jake Miller

Jake Miller in my opinion is still such an underrated artist. He has more of a pop/ R&B vibe. His voice and range are just so smooth and in this song, it really emphasizes that. This song is about him changing due to a. relationship. It's not necessarily a bad change, just a priority wise he is more focused on his relationship. This song is just upbeat enough to were you can listen to it for multiple situations.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
