It’s starting to feel a bit cliche to start this post off every month raving about just how much incredible new music RnB & Soul artists are pumping out. But we can only tell it how we see it! The past month’s been another month of the well of great new-age Soul continuing to overflow. We’re back with a playlist of new tunes to celebrate.

May brought EPs & albums definitely worth giving a spin from Melo-Zed, Cherri V, Kara Marni and Jorja Smith. Damn-near cult favourite, The Internet continue to tease their sophomore album, Hive Mind, with a new single (and video), Come Over. The video, directed and edited by Syd herself, serves suburban ’90s throwback, chilled out vibes, complete with hilarious moments and a cameo from Buzzfeed’s Quinta Brunson.
We’ve also got a track on the playlist from David Davis, a brand-spanking newcomer producer who’s released his debut single, After Loss. The track is filled with some delicious transitions and beat layering. Can’t get enough of it!

Another FRESH FIND is Kyan, Londoner gearing up to release his debut album. Kyan’s COLORS performance of Like Summer, BBC 1XTRA’s Record of the Week, is quickly building all kinds of steam.

Introducing, On The Wave: The New Tunes We Can’t Stop Playing

Hey folks! Simi, Curator at The Blues Project here

Super excited to be announcing a new playlist feature we’ve been fine-tuning for a bit now… We’re always looking to make it as easy as possible for you all to do what we know you come to The Blues Project for – find new R&B & soul-inspired music and artists you love.

So we’re answering the call with a new playlist, ‘On The Wave’. We’ll update it all the time, as opposed to creating a new playlist monthly. This way, you’ll always be able to find the latest new tunes we’re loving at the playlist on your relevant streaming platform. No need to wait till the end of the month. We’ll still publish a playlist update on the website monthly so you know what to look out for.

Just select your streaming platform below and FOLLOW the playlist and you’ll always be ‘On The Wave’.
The new R&B music playlist for the ages

Getting to the first monthly update for the On The Wave playlist, we’re bringing all the treats April delivered as well as the songs May’s brought that we already can’t get over.

The vibrant, diversity of Soul music continues to thrive. We’ve got new projects of very different ilk from Amber Mark, RAYE, Jannelle Monae and Leon Bridges.

One of my all-time fave male singers, Berhana, returns with his signature laid back summertime-musing crooning. And London R&B ever-shining starlet, Ray BLK released her first new cuts in a bit with collabs with Naughty Boy and RAYE. The Internet has also begun to tease music from their sophomore album with a funk soul classic, Roll (Burbank Funk).

From funk-fuelled summer anthems, to lazy sunday jams, to afro-swing dancefloor hits, our first update to On The Wave has it all. Listen, enjoy and share with a friend. And don’t forget to follow the playlist so you’ve always got your fresh tune fix.
