My favorite neo-soul playlist – always looking for recommendations

I've been curating this neo-soul playlist for years and thought I'd share it with people who might appreciate it.

It's mostly neo-soul, with some alternative R&B, jazz, funk and other smooth, groove-heavy tracks that fit the vibe. I keep updating it whenever I discover something worth adding.

If you have any hidden gems or underrated artists I should check out, I'd love your recommendations.

Bettye Swann - Don’t you ever get tired

After loving this album for 25 years I finally bought a nice copy. I probably put the title track on a dozen mixtapes in my teens and early 20s

I’ve been creating content for a while and I guess I’d like genuine opinions

So I’ve been recording music and writing books for the last 8 years of my life. I don’t know who to give it to or who to show it to but I’ve been super invested in finding the right people because echo chambers usually don’t produce good results.

The books:

A three part book series about a horror romance concept (I’m not giving this away unless people are genuinely interested) it’s steamy, it’s emotionally exhausting, and it’s terrifying.

The music:

It’s rough recordings on my iPhone through Voloco and it’s my heart right now.

If you like concepts or if you want to work please let me know. I’ll message files and sit for honest opinions. I make music like r&b/soul, rap, and alternative rock.

At the top is a link that takes you to my public music.

So yeah.

I guess I’m putting myself out there :)

What makes a live R&B performance feel genuinely special to you?

There's something really satisfying about watching an artist let the crowd take over a chorus. Inayah's vocals are solid, but what stood out to me was how connected everyone looked. Makes me want to go to more R&B shows.

Small independent radio station looking for one original song to review

Hey r/MusicIMade, I help run Red Devil Radio, a small independent internet radio station: https://reddevilradio.com

I’m looking for independent artists who have one finished original track they’re proud of. If you own/control the rights and want it considered for station rotation, send the one song you’d want a new listener to hear first:

https://reddevilradio.com/submit.html?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=board-post&utm_campaign=reddit_board_post_20260616&utm_content=musicimade

No pay-to-play and no rights grab. New artist accounts get starting submission credits, so I’m not asking anyone here to pay to send one track. Artists keep ownership; I just listen through submissions and add the ones that feel like a good fit for the station.

Spotify links help with metadata, but the form also needs an upload or authorized public audio source so I can actually review and play it.

Happy to answer questions here.
