The R&B Cure

Post-holiday letdown maybe?   Perhaps a teensy bit of a holiday spending hangover?  Not sure.  But I've been a little blue, and we all know what that means:  I need some music.

On the whole, I don't listen to a whole lot of R&B.  I tend more to electronic music, with a little bit of this and that thrown in.  But for some reason, I had a yen for some R&B. Something mellow and sing-alongable, but still dance-aroundable.   Most of these songs were on my iPod already, so I assembled what I had (so thrifty!), and only downloaded about four of them from Amazon.  I know that some of these songs aren't strictly R&B--there's some funk, some rap, some soul.  But for the most part it's got a generally R&B-ish flavor.  I must say, it is an excellent playlist. Enjoy!
