The track "Touchdown" in particular is what we want to point you to, with its slow-burning drums, light guitar licks to kick it off, and some subtle but welcome background vocal harmonies. Next up on our R&B Season playlist update is the new single from Lola Young, "Charlie" featuring Lil Yachty . It's a fitting link-up given their musical styles, and one that starts off pretty smoky and intimate.

Yachty eventually breaks through with a steady but still enveloping flow that transitions from a verse to some great melodies.
