The Sound of German R&B

"The Sound of German R&B" brings together a smooth blend of contemporary German soul, R&B, and hip-hop-infused ballads. This playlist features rising talents and established names shaping the modern R&B scene in Germany. From the mellow grooves of FOURTY and Bausa’s “VEMPA” to the sultry rhythms of “La La La” by Remoe and Miami Yacine, each track leans into rich production, catchy hooks, and heartfelt lyrics—often peppered with trap beats and pop influences.

Vocals stand front and center throughout, whether it’s the polished confidence of reezy on “Nur mit dir,” the introspective tone of NKSN and Kool Savas on “Wo Warst Du,” or the bilingual flow of C ARMA’s “Yapma.” Featuring diverse voices like Layla, Paula Douglas, and Luna Simao, the playlist showcases the genre’s versatility—from slow jams to energetic cuts like “BIG BOY MAYBACH.” It’s a snapshot of R&B through a German lens—melodic, modern, and weaving between languages and styles.
