random old r&b you are loving

not something super old, but a jam that's been on my mind a lot lately-

jenevieve - "deep in the shallow end" (2022)

i love her, btw. first found her thanks to ya'll + this ep is still her most recent thing. this song closes it out + i am at a stage with it where i'm deep diving into the lyrics. but what a bop! the mildly peter hook-y part, the chorus that's ripping off something i can't place rn, the whole 'underneath the wave' coda... this jam is an entire meal.

Yeah, this is really nice... "Love Quotes" (from the same EP) was one of my faves that year :)

another not terribly old thing, but noteworthy. check out sophiethehomie-

eliza - "whoever you are (for you) - ones remix" (2023)

finally, how about some russian pop that borders on 90s revival?

луни ана - "tell me why - remix" (2022)

be careful with /\this one/\ as it's under 2 minutes in length and 'just one more time' has turned into 15 minute marathons a few times by now.

and here's a legitimately old school one whose faux roger troutman vibes are really hitting the spot presently-
