The Ultimate Love Song Draft: Winners, Snubs, And Hot Takes

Send us Fan MailWhat makes a love song last—melody, memory, or the moment you needed it most? We put that question to the test with a no-mercy R&B love song draft spanning the 90s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s. Three hosts build rival playlists across high-stakes categories: best song, male and female group records, duets, covers, remixes, breakup anthems, and decade picks. Every selection has to earn its place, and every hot take has to survive the smoke.We go deep on the culture: why Whitney’s I Will Always Love You became the definitive cover, how samples carry love stories across generations, and where the line sits between love, lust, and obsession. Expect strong opinions—SWV’s Weak goes early, Miguel’s Adorn and Frank Ocean’s Thinkin Bout You anchor the 2010s, and SZA’s Snooze and Muni Long’s Made For Me make their case for modern classics. We champion sleepers like Anthony Hamilton’s The Point of It All and Lauryn Hill and D’Angelo’s Nothing Even Matters, and we push back on sacred cows with overrated calls that might rattle a hive or two.By the time we hit duets, male-led, and female-led rounds—Avant and Keke Wyatt’s chemistry, Luther’s patience, Fantasia’s glow, Beyoncé’s Plastic Off the Sofa—the boards tell a story about how R&B holds our best and hardest moments. We end with a full recap and a clear way to crown a winner: three playlists, your votes. Tap play to hear the case for each track, then choose the lineup you’d ride with forever.FOLLOW. SUBSCRIBE.
