R&B | The Musical Hype

Day 28: Aretha Franklin, The Long…Road | 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶

Listening to her stunning rendition of “The Long and Winding Road” on Day 28 of the 30-Day Song Challenge, there’ll never be another Aretha Franklin.

Alternative singer/songwriter Moses Sumney delivers one of the most ambitious musical projects of 2020 with sophomore album, Græ.

“25 Songs That Celebrate Friendship… Well, Some of Them” features songs by The Carters, dvsn, FINNEAS, Jeremy Zucker & Melanie Martinez.

R&B artist Ali Gatie delivers an enjoyable and respectable, if somewhat predictable brief single with “Running on My Mind.”

“13 Songs Where, When It Rains It Pours (Part I)” features music by Alec Benjamin, K. Michelle, Lady Gaga, Ro James and SuperM.

Robin Thicke makes a nice comeback with “Forever Mine.” He doesn’t necessarily move the needle, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Grammy-nominated R&B artist Ro James delivers an enjoyable, ultra-sensual, and well-rounded sophomore album on MANTIC.

“15 N Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason” features music by Ariana Grade, Black Atlass, Drake, G-Eazy, J Balvin & Katy Perry.

“Epilogue: 21 Incredible Highlights from Weekly Gems” features gems by Demi Lovato, Dua Lipa, Fiona Apple, Lil Uzi Vert & The Strokes.

Weekly Gems 💎 No. 9: Week of 5-25-2020 features music courtesy of Kiana Ledé, Lewis Capaldi, and Randy Newman among others.

After completing two thirds of the challenge, The Musical Hype presents 30-Day Song Challenge 🎶: The Playlist, Part 2 🎧.

Black Atlass exemplifies Steamy Saturday, with the sensual “Night After Night” which appears on his 2020 album, Dream Awake.
