Top New R&B Picks of 2025—Curated by That New New R&B Podcast
After taking a few months off (because all we kept getting was "Christmas music") we're back with the freshest NEW R&B for your ears to kick off 2025!
Its Episode 7 of That New New R&B Podcast on Kiss-FM and Melz has gone through dozens of emails from artists and labels that send us music for airplay consideration and hand picked the best of the best this week.
You might even hear these tracks in rotation soon on Kiss-FM which is the case for the first song on this weeks podcast from an artist who exploded onto the scene in 2023 with a new classic "Lose Control" as he proves that he's not just a "one hit wonder".
Teddy Swims Feat. Giveon - Are You Even Real
Swims, who plans on going on tour in 2025, teams up with rising star Giveon for a smooth but funky track.
Next up is the artist with the most Grammy nominations in R&B at this year's upcoming ceremony and she's already scored 4 #1 hits from her "Best R&B Album" nominated album "Revenge". This might be her 5th.
Muni Long - Superpowers
Long's songwriting skills can no longer be denied but she's going for not only R&B success but clearly "pop" success as well with this power ballad.
Next up is an artist that slowed down her momentum to start raising her family but still managed to find time to keep her buzz alive with another hit song.
Ella Mai - Little Things
In the same vein as Destiny's Child "Let Me Cater 2 U", Ella Mai's simplistic "Little Things" is a song about showing your love for someone special by doing just the little things that make their day.
We usually stop right here but we have some more new new for you! This next track comes from two R&B legends who are teaming up for a "Duet" project.
Eric Benet & Chante Moore - So Distracted
The follow up to his #1 duet with Tamar Braxton, "Something We Can Make Love To", Benet and Moore get busy on this up-tempo track.
Finally, we're wrap up this week's blast with a new GIRL GROUP (that's right, girl groups are back!).
FLO - On & On
A new British Invasion maybe on deck with girl group "FLO" bringing their music state side with their single "On & On" which sounds very smooth!
