Our “R&B Season” playlist has been blessed with tons of new tunes this week, including some cuts off Chloe x Halle’s new album, Ungodly Hour, a cover of St. German’s “Rose Rouge” by Jorja Smith, and more. As the weeks past, the world continues to experience unrest at the ceaseless injustice faced by Black folks at the hands of police. It’s a very emotional and heavy time especially for the Black community, and we hope you can find some comfort and solace in these healing selections as you continue to rise up against the system.

Along with additions from Chloe x Halle and Jorja, we’ve also included the new single, “Wake Up Love,” by Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert—under the moniker “Iman.”—the music video for which served as a pregnancy announcement for the married couple.

As the fight for racial justice continues, we’ve also decided to highlight some of the new protest anthems of the R&B variety that came out this past week amidst the nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism. T-Pain‘s “Get Up” and a stripped down version of Elijah Blake’s 2016 track “Hanging Tree” featuring Donald Lawrence & Co can both be found on “R&B Season” this week.

Check out the rest of our newest additions below, including joints from Leon Bridges and Jamila Woods, and keep up the fight.

We are living in unprecedented times right now. The world has effectively been shut down for an undetermined amount of time because of the coronavirus outbreak. In order to protect the millions of people at risk, governments worldwide have instated shelter-at-home measures, urging people to stay inside and practice social distancing. Every industry has been affected by the outbreak, including the music business. However, leaders like TIDAL are trying their hardest to make these next few days/weeks/months comfortable by digging through the archives and providing ample live-stream concert material for us to enjoy.

Announcing the At Home With TIDAL live-stream series, TIDAL revealed that daily live-streams will be available for music fans to connect with their favorite artists while still social distancing. Beginning today, the streaming service will shuffle through genres to cater to a wide array of music fans. The 12-hour daily live-streams will feature exclusive content from past performances by some of the industry's finest.

Kendrick Lamar is making major plays as fans await his next album. At first, the Compton rapper cleared his Instagram page prompting speculation his new album was on the way before announcing his media company, pgLang. Sharing a visual mission statement on the company's website, Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, Jorja Smith, and Yara Shahidi make appearances in the project.

"Our community speaks different language," a statement on the website reads. "Our community speaks music, film, television, art, books, and podcasts -- because sometimes we have to use different languages to get the point of our stories across."

This shouldn't come as a shock since Top Dawg previously revealed in a profile piece with Billboard that Kendrick not only has a percentage of the label but he's also been working heavily on the upcoming television and film stuff that TDE was working on. It's unclear if pgLang is actually associated with TDE in any way. 

The venture is partnership between Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free who have been showing their cinematic chops off under Dave Free and the Little Homies. Dave Free recently departed from his position at Top Dawg Entertainment in October 2019 but clearly, there were bigger things in mind.

Ultimately, the launch of the new company has prompted rumors that the long-awaited follow-up to DAMN. is finally on the way. Earlier this year, rumors that it was finally completed.

Watch the trailer here. 

Jorja Smith showed up to the 2020 BRIT Awards on Tuesday in a polka-dotted, warm-toned jumpsuit, and was just curious what you thought her super power might be based on the signature Jean Paul Gaultier-patterned outfit. The singer rocked a garment bearing one of JPG’s signature patterns seen on other pieces worn by the likes of Cardi B and, most recently, Kim Kardashian. The combination of the pattern and colours may closely resemble a heat map, but coupled with the style of the piece, the certified bombshell appears to have come straight out of Marvel or DC. It seems that Jorja is well aware of that, as she took to Instagram to ask what exactly her super power would be.

The responses were plentiful, and honestly, not surprising. Considering the outrageous and downright disgusting remarks people make about her not only on her Instagram posts but in their own tweets as well, the comments on this particular photo are actually pretty tame. Still, the usual lustful admirers were hard at work drooling over Jorja, some replying that her power is “making grown men cry” and another saying it’s “making me simp for you.” Other answers were less PG, but take a scroll through the comment section and you’re bound to see tons of explicit “powers.”
