Fall is when R&B does its best work. The nights get longer, cuffing season starts, and the records slow down to match. These are 18 artists making that kind of music right now, from Leon Thomas, GIVĒON and Khamari to newer names like Luna Elle, Zhana and Ray Lozano, with Tweet back in the mix too. Playlist curated by RNB Tomi.

Most people under 35 didn't choose Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker or Freddie Jackson. A parent's car radio chose for them, or a cookout that ran past dark. In Billy Ocean's case, it was Tonya from Everybody Hates Chris insisting "he's way better than Michael Jackson" Either way, it never left. If half this carousel is already in your library, the age on your ID isn't telling the whole story. Playlist curated by RNB Tomi.

Fall officially started tonight at 8:05pm, and we've been building for it. 295 songs. 21 hours and 23 minutes of R&B that feels like this exact time of year, the sweater weather records, the ones that sound better with the windows cracked and the sun going down at 7. Mariah, Whitney, Faith, Total, Alicia. Solange and Frank for the drive home.
