Just when you think our R&B Season playlist can’t get any hotter, another round of New Music Friday releases comes through blazing to light things up. Today (May 28) we have mostly collaborative efforts, though there is one solo offering that caught our eye. It comes from Zacari, and is called “Touch of God,” which is exactly what listening to the short and sweet title feels like. It marks the second drop of the year for the Top Dawg Entertainment artist, who previously linked up with Ab-Soul on “Motions” back in February.
From Rory’s I Thought It’d Be Different album we’ve picked two titles. The first, “Refill,” finds him connecting with Chiiild and Aáyanna. The second, “My Phone Can Die,” landed as a single ahead of the 13-track project, and features both Ari Lennox and James Fauntleroy. Other artists who appear on various songs include Emotional Oranges, THEY., Conway the Machine, GoldLink, REASON, and dvsn, among several others.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist
Lauren Jauregui proved that it’s not impossible to work with your ex this weekend, reconnecting with her former lover, Ty Dolla $ign on “Wolves.” The emotional song also includes bars from Russ, and is the sole collaborative effort on the former Fifth Harmony starlet’s new In Between EP. Our final pick of the week comes from Nonso Amadi and BEAM, the latter likely still riding the high of linking up with Beyoncé last summer for “ENERGY” from her RENAISSANCE album.
His latest joint effort is called “Killmanjaro,” and it appears on Amadi’s When It Blooms project that also landed on Friday. Further down on today’s round-up, you’ll find more must-listen May drops from names like Summer Walker, NxWorries, Jorja Smith, Janelle Monáe, and Omarion.
