Here's a taste of the classic/oldschool r&b in 2024.

LA/NY singer Journi lands on our blog with the smooth "Parting Ways" which will throw us back to the golden r&b era of the '00s. Reminiscent of Beyoncé or Rihanna's work but with Journi's touch, the song is an empowering tale of putting yourself first & walking away from a toxic love.

Sprinkled with blues/rock guitars, pulsating basslines & a drum groove that guides you through, "Parting Ways" also has heartfelt vocals with an appealing haziness & rawness to them - putting Journi on the r&b map of the US (which appeals to the country/blues/pop blend more & more these days).

An official music video & short film will drop soon, too, so keep an eye out.
