Be Without YouMary J Blige
Mary J.
Blige, the R&B singer known by the illustrious title “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.” One of her signature songs is “Be Without You,” released in 2005 as the lead single from the album The Breakthrough.
While the gentle piano calms the heart, her vocals feature many parts where she really belts, making it incredibly soulful.
The contrast is irresistible—be sure to give it a listen.
6, 8, 12Brian McKnight
Brian McKnight, a singer-songwriter who epitomizes American R&B.
His “6, 8, 12” is a sublime ballad where whisper-like vocals and acoustic guitar blend to perfection.
The striking vocal line that suddenly soars into a high falsetto midway through leaves a lasting impression after just one listen.
At first it may sound like a love song about being in a relationship, but it’s actually a sweet yet heartrending breakup song.
When you’re heartbroken, keep a handkerchief at the ready.
Heartbreak AnniversaryGiveon
Giveon, a renowned R&B artist from California, USA.
His 2020 release “Heartbreak Anniversary” is a highly recommended track—a modern ballad that blends R&B with elements of soul.
While the beat of the track shifts dramatically, his vocals, delivered with an alluring, languid mood in sync with the rhythm, are truly impressive.
It’s such a smooth, mellow song that if you play it on a quiet weekend night, you might just drift off to sleep before you know it.
Definitely give it a listen.

I Wanna KnowJoe
“I Wanna Know” is one of the signature R&B ballads by Joe, an American R&B singer-songwriter, included on the 1999 album “The Wood.” His gentle vocals blend with a laid-back R&B beat to create a soothing atmosphere.
It’s such a calming track that you may find yourself relaxing before you know it, making it a great recommendation for days when you want to unwind at home or for sleepless nights.
How You Gonna Act Like ThatTyrese
Tyrese Gibson is an American actor and singer.
His song “How You Gonna Act Like That” is a smooth R&B number distinguished by a whispery vocal style.
It’s not a pop track with a catchy chorus; rather, it has a relaxed, BGM-like sound that’s perfect for when you want to unwind.
One of the highlights is his emotional vocal performance, which builds especially toward the latter half of the song.
Dilemma ft. Kelly RowlandNelly
“Dilemma ft.
Kelly Rowland” is a track released in 2002 by Nelly, an American actor and hip-hop MC.
The song features Kelly Rowland, who was a standout member of the hugely popular R&B girl group Destiny’s Child.
Their back-and-forth creates a smooth, soothing vibe that makes you feel your daily fatigue melt away as you listen.
Higher LoveSteve Winwood
Steve Winwood, the British musician known as a leading figure of blue-eyed soul.
Though he found success in various bands, this solo-era track is one I’d recommend as a soft rock classic.
It’s included on the album “Back in the High Life,” and it reached No.
1 on the U.
S.
charts in August 1986.
Riding an exhilarating sound, the song delivers a powerful message about overcoming the emptiness of everyday life and seeking a higher, more spiritual form of love.
With sleek, quintessentially ’80s production and Chaka Khan’s powerful backing vocals shining through, it has a soulful atmosphere.
It’s a great pick-me-up—perfect for mornings when you want a boost to tackle the day.
