Hello and welcome to all of you in this new episode of Soul RnB Diaspora. I hope you are doing well. You know the rendezvous, hebdomadaire, every Thursday, a good dose of Soul, of RnB, in this podcast. So I'm talking about chronicles, discs, books also, which have been released, I'm doing... I also give you some mixes, sometimes, but today I will talk about some R'n'B releases released in the first quarter. I had already talked about this subject in the first quarter, and here the idea is to bring a supplement for the second quarter. You noticed it, it is extremely difficult to follow all the R'n'B releases, even if a lot of titles are released every week, and with the rise of artificial intelligence, risk getting in the way. But here, in Soul R&B, I have selected some of the songs that have gripped me these last weeks. But before starting, don't forget to subscribe to the podcast, to share it and to rate it. It helps me a lot for the reference. So we start with an old timer, since mid-June, Dave Hollister, the former singer of Blackstreet, nous a balancé Wudu Magic, un son planant funky à souhait, mais qui peut aussi servir à s'ambiancer en début de soirée.

Every time I pack my bags, I just sit in the patio door again Got my hand on the handle frozen, like it was put my name in the wind You got me pacing in the hallway, arguing with those to my pride Tell myself I'm gone in the morning, and I'm thinking back up in the tide Every time I wanna leave, your love pulls me back in Is it through a magic, girl, what is this? Got me under your spell I can't fight it I am in Read my cards, tell me what the universe is Uh-huh, yeah Review my stars, baby girl, cause I'm yours again Read my cards, tell me what the universe is Uh-huh, yeah Review my stars what the universe says review my stars baby girl cause I'm yours again oh read my cards tell me what the universe says review my stars baby girl cause I'm yours again oh I'm yours again oh yeah I'm yours again oh baby I'm yours

The new Jack Swing is no longer in fashion, another R&B has taken its place for a long time and yet some projects deserve to be delayed, such as Playtime. The group released an EP in mid-April entitled Time to Play and the uptempo that I chose to show you is called Try My Love and I am absolutely sure that all the 90s fans will love it. Do you,
- Speaker #2

So when you're done, do it. with that stride come on now baby and try my love try my love try my love try my love for real and try my love if you need it if you want it you can try my love honey I just don't understand Watch me Keep on playing games.

In third, Leven Kali, Starlet. So I have chills just to mention this song. It's the type of sound, sorry, I even lose my language, which means that when you listen to it once, you tell yourself, wow, it's great. Fourth song, it will be Jahaa, Summer Kisses. Then we will have Ella May with My Just. Dochi, SZA, Girl Gallop, and we'll finish with 9K, One Track Mind. Anyway, I'll note all the tracks with the counter in the description of the episode.

Excellent. And in fact, there have been a lot of teasers, teasings on the different platforms, different social networks, Instagram, TikTok. And there, the sound has finally come out. I had to throw you that. So

- Speaker #0
Well, I didn't lie to you, this song is a bomb. Zviro, Where You Belong. I'm now continuing with a French artist, discovered on TikTok recently, there were several teasings circulating, and I discovered his EP 777. released on June 19th, 2026. And in first clip, first single, maybe, without a doubt, which will be pushed, it's the song Rock avec moi. I validate completely this sound, and the clip is not bad either. We are immediately embarked, so Sugar World, Rock avec moi.
- Speaker #7
It's us the guys from the hall, it's us the people down there, it's us the people who sound I'm here to make some noise, when we go to the gym, there won't be any sound I'm not there for you honey, everyone wants us to cross our eyes I don't have anything in my pockets I think I'm going to do some tasks, I can change my situation. I'm going to fly to the sky and the weather. I'm going to pass for my mom and my young CEO. The N's do the tours like Mondéo. I don't want to be a fighter like my baby. You're not in my team, white man. Matla parce qu'ils savent pas quoi faire C'est une même journée C'est une même suite, moi They run with me Stunnaway I'm on a name Some shoot that with me Stunnaway Un peu de miel compte sur moi Pour les faire I'm on a name Some shoot that with me Baby, they run with me Stunnaway Other kids do push my I'll think about the rest of my life If I want to give you I want to play on all my race These bastards don't even do you I'm focused as long as they revive me As long as they revive me As long as they revive me Tired of what?

- Speaker #0
I told you, the level this semester is extremely high, and I'm going to continue with an artist who will not bring down the pressure, it's Dalais, a British singer, whom we had not heard much about since 2017-2018, apart from some collaborations, and there... il revient en indépendant avec un titre magnifique, Lavender, alors on espère que c'est annonciateur d'un futur album, Dalais Lavender.
- Speaker #2
Is there any way we could lose this crowd? Make a getaway up to a distant cloud Where we dictate the movement is the frequency Lying here with you could feel like ecstasy And I just wanna be free To reside in your energy There are new colors that appear when you're here with me. So lay down your defenses, let go your pretenses. Give me all your senses and I'll make you feel lavender. Lavender. There's so much more than black and white, yeah Definitions dissipate As we ascend to blissful states We're safe here inside this love Where there's nobody else but us So let go your inhibitions here And show me everything Let go of your pretenses, give me all your senses, and I'll make you feel the love in your heart.
- Speaker #0
One of the last songs I'm going to play is composed and written by Saucy Lady and Slink. It's called Love Telepathy. It's a New Jack guarantee atmosphere. It's quite surprising because we say to ourselves, in 2026, there are still artists who release this type of project. But it's really excellent. I'll let you discover all that and we'll meet again right after. I've noticed something.
- Speaker #2
After I met you, I got the power to convey my feelings. The longer we are together, the stronger we become. The closer we get, the more I understand.
- Speaker #0
It was sung in Japanese, so from the Japanese New Jack. And Saucy Lady, well, it's, we'll say, to form a duo with Slink for this song, Love Telepathy, but also for Yumeno Suzuki. So there too, it's a very good title in the same vein, and it gives a little eye-catching, a little wink, refreshing in 2026. So Slink, I'm not going to introduce him, he's a famous DJ, remixer, he often officiated, I think he did the Shambhala Festival for maybe 10 years in a row. So really, if you don't know him, go check him out because he remixes funk, hip-hop, extremely talented, and he has really memorable sets. We finish the session of the day with an artist that I love here, Oli Brune, who was on the stage of the Paris Triathlon on June 2, June 19. 2026. Et c'est vrai que dans cette émission, j'adore parce qu'elle est It's both R'n'B, funky, a little jazzy too. And there, I propose you a flattering title to finish. It's the song Play Me Like a Sante. And, is there any need to talk ? Voilà, on arrive à la fin de cet épisode. On se quitte avec Oli Brune. D'ici là, passez une bonne semaine. Je vous donne rendez-vous jeudi prochain dans un nouvel épisode de Soul R'n'B Diaspora. Bye bye !

The Cue the Sky Setting me aside again Written in the stars We'd only share two nights of romance That look on your face I know that you're not an angel. I'm carried away. How long can you stay when you're. Play me like a sin I'm in heaven Giving you the keys To my lonely heart Holy kind of sin Last again The vivid fantasy that will leave a mark I'm drowning in your eyes Losing track of time when you're near The moment we tied I read it in the lines of your hand You've got all the faith Even if you're not an angel, before you slip away Say you would've stayed when you played me like Like a seed, I'm in heaven Giving you the key to my lonely heart Holy kind of seed, pass together Feel the fantasy that will never mark Such a moment, how could I never Did I fall in love? How to play it? How could I never forget it? Did I fall in love? There's such a moment How could I never forget it? Did I fall in love? I'm yours here. I'm yours here. Play me, play me like I'm yours here. Thank you.
