Kwarantina has me reaching into my R&B roots for comfort these days. A thread of jams that have me in my feels lately:

I discovered Teddy Swims on FB. He’s a teddy bear of a man who does R&B covers. HRH Bonnie Raitt wrote one of the best songs ever written with this jam. I could do a whole thread of covers of THIS SONG. It’s definitely one of the songs I wish I wrote.

I love Prince with my whole heart. I mourned when he & George Michael died. Prince is on every single one of my playlists.

Marvin does THANGS to me. This song

An ode to bad bishes.

Eternally funky. Black radical politics. He name checks Zimbabwean independence & Bob Marley here.

They’ve tried, but no one does this like him. A master class in what idlozi can do even in a child’s body.

Back when the uncles weren’t afraid to express their devotion... at least in words only.
