RnB Planet’s New Music Friday Singles Roundup: Mario, Etta Bond, Darius Martin, and More
It’s Friday again, and you already know what that means — brand new R&B singles ready to take over your weekend playlist. From legends making their return to rising voices putting out fresh vibes, today’s lineup is stacked with must-hear tracks. Here’s a breakdown of the singles we’ve got on repeat right now.
Mario is back with his first single of the year, Nobody But Us. Smooth and effortless, the track is all about locking in with that one special someone and moving like it’s just the two of you against the world. A classic Mario vibe that reminds us why his voice has stood the test of time.
Etta Bond brings a burst of energy with Sun on My Skin. The British singer’s uptempo new record celebrates that unbeatable feeling of being outside, letting the sunshine hit you, and living in the moment. It’s feel-good music done right.
With Nobody Like You, Darius Martin taps into nostalgia with a sample from Brandy’s “I Wanna Be Down.” The song paints the picture of a love he can’t walk away from — because he’s never met anyone quite like her. It’s heartfelt, smooth, and easy to run back.
Jordyn Simone keeps the momentum going with tmwtd (short for “Tell Me What To Do”). The rising star flexes her ability to craft catchy, relatable records, this time about figuring out how to fight for the person she’s falling for. Another strong showing in her growing catalog.
RISSA drops off FALL OUT, a vibey cut centered on the emotions and aftermath of a broken connection. It’s moody but polished, the kind of track you feel as much as you hear.
Wes Nelson slows things down with I’ll Wait, a melodic offering about his devotion to a woman he’s willing to wait on — even if it takes forever. His vocals sit comfortably over the production, making it a standout ballad.
Will Gittens pours his heart out on MISTAKES, reflecting on where things went wrong in a relationship. As his love interest seems to move on, he’s left wrestling with regret and the hope of changing for the better. Honest and relatable, it’s Gittens at his most vulnerable.
The Hics return with not one but two new tracks: should’ve called right back and s’all on me. Partnering with producer sagun, known for his work in the lo-fi space, the duo brings a dreamy, textured vibe that pushes their sound forward while keeping it soulful.
Naji makes his mark with Make It Count. The multi-talented artist delivers silky smooth vocals over lush production, reminding listeners to savor every moment. It’s a sleek, soulful listen that’s hard not to vibe with.
Closing out the week’s lineup is QUIN with her new single Zip. Her first drop of the year carries her signature sound but leans into a more upbeat lane, pairing her vocals perfectly with the lively production.
With so many quality releases today, there’s no shortage of new music to dive into. Whether you’re chasing upbeat vibes, emotional storytelling, or smooth late-night energy, this week’s New Music Friday has you covered.
