Raveena Aurora opens a deeply personal chapter with “Blissed Out,” her first release of 2026 and a soulful reflection on grief, healing and the loss of her mother. Blending contemporary R&B, soul, jazz and Indian-influenced instrumentation, the song gradually moves from sorrow toward a sense of warmth and euphoria. Directed by Grant Spanier, the accompanying video combines intimate archival family footage with scenes of Raveena surrounded by nature, capturing the healing power of memory and the enduring connection between mother and daughter.

Ezra Collective teams with Leona Lewis on “All I Need,” a groovy, soulful track from the UK jazz quintet’s fourth album, Here Because of Hope . Lewis delivers a swoon-worthy vocal performance as the band blends jazz, soul and genre-bending influences into a warm celebration of finding heaven amid life’s challenges. The official visualiser complements the song with a nostalgic, vibrant collage of urban faces smiling, dancing and living in the moment.

Manchester, UK R&B and neo-soul artist Pip Millett returns with “Soon Enough,” her first new material since 2024’s Tell Jimmy I’m Fine . Released via Mixpak Records, the soulful track explores familial grief through a delicate, modern-soul instrumental produced by Dom Valentino. Drawing from the pain of losing her father as a teenager, Millett reflects on the shame and difficult emotions surrounding her response to that loss. The song ultimately becomes an intimate act of healing, release, and letting go.

Swiss-based emerging R&B/soul artist NNAVY brings intimacy and vulnerability to “Late Nights,” featured on her debut album, I’ll Wait For You . Set inside her apartment after dark, the video captures NNAVY dancing, grooving, and calling her partner to come over while singing about the temptations of late-night encounters. Soulful and candid, lyrically the track also explores vulnerability and the challenges women can face in dating, confronting societal biases around race, body image, desire, and visibility.

Ravyn Lenae teams up with Doechii on “Babygirl,” from her new album Blue Island . The downtempo, 1990s-inspired R&B track blends Lenae’s warmth with Doechii’s laid-back delivery and a funky, Thundercat-like bassline. Their effortless chemistry gives the song a freestyle feel, while the Karl Cannone-directed video finds the two artists dancing in sync through the aisle of an empty church, bringing the collaboration’s playful energy to life.
