PressPlay: ThisisRnB Presents ‘RnBounce’ (Playlist)

By J.W. on Nov 30, 2017

Back on our playlist game with Spotify, ThisisRnB presents ‘RnBounce.’

This has been a conceptual playlist that I have been forming in my mind for some time, and finally put this together. It is primarily female driven, and highlights a progressive sound of R&B and soul that incorporates heavy bass and percussion, often inspired by Drum & Bass, Freestyle and or various forms of electronic dance music.

There has been a rise in this sound over the past 5 or so years, and the records reflect this span. It opens with Solange’s “Locked in Closets” off her acclaimed 2012 EP True, and travels through with standout records from the likes of buzzing alt-R&B artists Kelela and ABRA, leading up to recent tracks from Syd (of The Internet), Kehlani, NAO, Jhené Aiko and more.

This one is perfect for the lover in you that likes a little bounce too.
