New R&B Releases RD: September 2024 (Due November 10th)

[SHOOTER]

You've been so tied up in your mind these days, I know
A sweet distraction might be what you need to glow
Your body on inferno, inferno, your mind on my, my, my
But you deserve to let go, to let go, to let yourself unwind...

While spending three weeks at #1 on Pop radio with his 2010 single Sure Thing, Miguel simultaneously released Give It to Me, his first new single in four years. No word yet on whether fifth studio album will also drop this year.

[SHOOTER]

Go 'head try me 'cause I'm safe behind these walls
Think you can take me through the fog where I'm no challenge
Childish, childish
Yeah, you, you can try me...

[SHOOTER]

With 13 points, 4 #1s and a single bottom-5 rank between them, the winner is...

[SHOOTER]

This is how it has to be, look at what they did to me
None of those late nights crying alone 'bout you like that
Exit strategy plan, I ain't afraid to use and that's facts
I ain't afraid to lose you, that's that...

Meanwhile, third time is the charm from Arlo Parks as she takes the crown with Blades, a pre-release track lifted from her sophomore album My Soft Machine.

Arlo Parks: New R&B RD History
#1 Blades (April 2023)
#4 Weightless (February 2023)
#13 Impurities (March 2023)

[Kanenrá:ke]

Good finish and I generally like Arlo, but of that top two Mahalia would've been the perfect winner for me.

Adore Miguel so he was an easy pick for #1 for me. Glad we finally have something new from him.

[singingrulebritannia]

May will be a weird month. No obvious losers or winners.

I also didn't scour as much as normal in June because work and real life has been draining me so... if you have any suggestions, swing them my way.
