My Top 7 R&B Songs for Summer 2020

In This Article:

I can wholeheartedly say that I really wouldn't survive any season without R&B music. R&B soothes and nourishes my soul, all year round. It has been especially essential during this pandemic summer. So, for all of my fellow R&B lovers, here's a list of the top 7 songs I've been loving!

1. "Chicago Freestyle" by Drake feat. Giveon

Drake always comes in clutch with R&B-influenced music just in time for the summer! This song has been out for quite a while now, but it feels brand new every time I listen to it. Up and coming artist, Giveon, is the real showstopper in "Chicago Freestyle," though. I find his voice to be so unique and soulful. I could listen to it all day!

2. "Like I Want You" by Giveon

Giveon released this single in late 2019 but admittedly, I discovered it only a couple months ago. "Like I Want You" is just a vibe – there's no other way to describe it. If you didn't know about this song, or the artist Giveon, now you do! Highly recommend!

3. "I Want You Around" (Remix) by Snoh Aalegra feat. 6LACK

No matter the season, my playlist is not complete without "I Want You Around." It's timeless! I'm constantly dreaming of getting away to a place with palm trees and beach views (now, more than ever!). I find myself listening to the remix featuring 6LACK more often, since it really gives off that chill summer night vibe.

4. "Let It Go" by Summer Walker

Given the artist's name, I'd say it's very appropriate to have Summer Walker on your summer playlist. She recently released the EP, Life on Earth, which is a very timely title during this time. Let it Go happens to be my favorite song on the EP and I've been listening to it non-stop!

5. "Believe It" by PARTYNEXTDOOR & Rihanna

I can't think of a better duo than PND and Rihanna! I love both of these artists, so I couldn't wait to listen to this song and it definitely exceeded my expectations. It's the perfect, chill song to listen to while lounging poolside or driving with the windows down. It's a must-add to your playlist, whether you love R&B or not!

6. "Been Away" by Brent Faiyaz

It's simply not an R&B playlist without a dash of Brent Faiyaz (okay, maybe a little more than a dash!). He has undoubtedly worked his way into my soul. My top pick from his latest album, and perhaps my theme song for this entire pandemic, would have to be "Been Away." I'm just tryna get my paper straight… *cues song.*

7. "Summer 2020" by Jhene Aiko 

There's not much that needs to be said here. The amazing Jhene Aiko has released a song specifically for this summer... You better go listen! I know I'll be playing this one on repeat for the rest of Summer 2020.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
