The "Taste" playlist is a dynamic mix of sounds and emotions, pulling together a wide array of genres and eras into one cohesive lineup. Kicking things off with a nod to early 2000s hip-hop and R&B vibes courtesy of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, Usher, and Whitney Houston, this playlist quickly establishes its intent to blend the nostalgic with the contemporary. Tracks like "What a Difference a Day Makes" by Dinah Washington and "Misty" by Samara Joy inject a timeless jazz element, proving that good music knows no expiration date.

Yebba's soulful contributions with "My Mind" and "Evergreen" showcase the depth and versatility of modern songwriting, while hits like "Fuck Yo Feelings" by Robert Glasper stir the pot with bold expressions of emotion. The inclusion of Nina Simone's powerful "Ain't Got No / I Got Life" exemplifies the playlist's commitment to featuring voices that convey profound messages, placed alongside contemporary bangers like "BEST ON EARTH" by Russ and BIA for a contrast that works unexpectedly well. From the soul-stirring grooves of Al Green's "Simply Beautiful" to the infectious energy of Nelly's "Batter Up," there's a deliberate blend of the feel-good and the thought-provoking. Closing out with the down-home grooves of Nappy Roots, "Taste" ultimately serves up a rich, eclectic musical feast that refuses to be confined to any single genre or era.
