LOVE BUG 2026 - SLOW JAMS x SOUL

I’ve been listening to slow jams my whole life since the 70s, 80s, and 90s, when some of the greatest love songs ever made lived in the shadows of late-night radio, cassette tapes, and quiet moments. That era shaped how I hear music. Slow jams taught me patience. Soul taught me feeling. Over time, R&B changed. The charts moved on. But real slow jams and soul never left they just moved underground. That’s where I’ve been listening. Love Bug was born in 2020 as a way to capture the kind of R&B I actually love the songs that don’t always get pushed, but still hit deep. Every year, I pull together a small selection of slow jams and soul records that speak to me in that moment. Love Bug 2026 – Slow Jams x Soul is exactly that. Not a playlist for trends. Not for the charts. Just music that feels good, feels honest, and feels real. If you grew up on slow jams… or you’re still looking for them… this one’s for you.
