⏪️ R&B Rewind

🎶 “I Wanna Know” – Joe (1999)

Released at the peak of late-‘90s R&B, Joe’s silky delivery and quiet yearning made “I Wanna Know” an instant classic.

💡 Did You Know?

The track peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 (#2 on the R&B chart) and stayed there for 33 weeks—proving that real R&B doesn’t just come and go.

📡 R&B Radar - Destin Conrad

Destin Conrad just dropped his debut album, Love On Digital (April 25). The vibe? Think early 2000s R&B—but updated.

His lead single, Kissing In Public, brings an upbeat spark to the album—it’s giving Omarion vibes in the best way.

💡 Did You Know?

Destin got his start as a Vine star (remember those six-second loops?) before teaming up with Kehlani and launching his music career.

🗓️ On This Day: April 24th, 1999

April 30, 1991 - Boyz II Men release Cooleyhighharmony.

Boyz II Men released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, introducing their signature blend of harmonies, new jack swing, and emotional slow jams.

The album gave us classics like “Motownphilly” and “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday,” and went on to be certified 9x Platinum in the U.S.

💡 Did You Know?

Cooleyhighharmony was executive produced by Michael Bivins of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe—and its title pays tribute to the 1975 film Cooley High.
