Do you ever feel like today’s music is lacking?  Are you tired of hearing overly sexualized lyrics instead of love poems and declarations of love?  I know I am.  I can’t turn on the radio without hearing about “panties to the side” or “ima give it to you this way?”  Come on now, I love hip hop, rap and r&b but what happened to smooth melodies from the 80’s and early 90’s?  You know, that smooth R&B that was more about love and not just sex?

Remember how Luther made you feel when he sang, “But a room is not a house and a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart?” Yeesss Luther, giving us all the feels even decades later! Or what about the forever classic, “Forever my lady, It’s like a dream, I’m holding you close, You’re keeping me warm, If this is ecstacy” Yes Jodeci, although Al B Sure wrote the song.  Doesn’t it just take you back?  Make you feel all weak in the knees? Okay, okay, get it together now.  We all wish we could Xscape our way back to the smooth sounds of yesteryears dope music!

Despite being blessed with Pandora and Spotify to listen to our old school R&B, I found some dope music you can listen to now.

Here are some of my current favorite smooth R&B music of today that sounds like the 80’s R&B you miss.   Shout out to these artists that are keeping it fresh while taking us back.  Back to the love songs and passion, without being over sexualized!

Jeffrey Osborne, Worth it all

Peabo Bryson, A love like yours and mine 

Tamia,  Leave it smokin

Phil Perry, Someday we’ll meet again

And of course the one and only, the legendary Sade, gave us all a taste of her old school music that only she can bring to life with her new song, The big unknown, from the movie, widows. 

Which is your favorite?  While I love them all, my current favorite is Tamia’s Leave it smokin’.  Yeessssss girlfriend!
