]]> Solange Knowles Saint Heron Saint RecordsIf you’ve been loitering around the margins, you might have noticed that R&B sounds pretty different these days. Artists like Kelela, FKA Twigs, SZA, Jessy Lanza, Sampha, Kingdom, Iman Omari and more are collectively embracing experimentation, leading to engaging and novel results. Conveniently, Saint Records (Solange Knowles’ new record label) has collected a few of these results and compiled them into a 12-track LP. It’s not an exhaustive list of these ongoing experiments, but it’s a very respectable introduction and it was curated by Solange. It doesn’t get better than this. Stream it via Spotify below.

We don’t typically post compilations, but this is a special case; these artists represent a much-needed aesthetic shift in R&B and beyond. Where they will take us is unclear, but the journey itself is definitely worth our time, especially since some of these artists have been vying for our attention for ages.

Kelela Cut 4 Me - Cover Art Fade to Mind, Cut, LA, L.A.LA singer Kelela is apart of the emerging collective of singers (SZA, Jessy Lanza, Twigs and more) who genuinely can’t be placed into any particular genre, even if you’re fairly knowledgeable of genre conventions and music history. Accordingly, there is no preface we can give you for her new mixtape, Cut 4 Me. It’s not R&B and it’s not really anything else, though it freely traverses that territory and other familiar places (house, soul) with a certain charming aloofness.  Listen below and try to avoid categorizing it. Music is better when it’s allowed to roam.
