ALT. Soul Songs of the Week

ALT. Soul - Realm Music

Joint Jams Radio digs deep into the soul crates; not just for what's vibing, but for what's redefining. Our ALT. Soul Songs of the Week showcase R&B and soul artists pushing the boundaries of genre, mood, and meaning. These tracks aren’t made to blend in. They’re made to carve space—for vulnerability, rage, sensuality, and resilience.

This week, our playlist moves from Mariah the Scientist’s smoldering melancholy to Sasha Keable’s emotional ultimatum. These songs are intimate yet cinematic, perfect for late-night drives, mirror-side meditations, or reshuffling your life playlist entirely.

Here’s the rundown:

1. “Burning Blue” – Mariah the Scientist

Mariah the Scientist has always been a master of melancholy, but "Burning Blue" is one of her most hauntingly tender tracks to date. With lush yet minimal production that leaves room for her voice to ache, she gives heartbreak the space it deserves. The song feels like floating through grief in slow motion—soft, dangerous, inevitable.

2. “On Sight” – Coco Jones

Coco Jones continues her impressive sonic evolution with “On Sight”, a track that oozes confidence and clarity. Unlike typical R&B slow burns, this one hits with immediacy. Her voice is sharp, her presence magnetic. She’s not here to ask for love—she’s here to demand respect.

3. “Would You” – Tiffany Evans

Tiffany Evans is back and emotionally unfiltered with “Would You”, a beautifully arranged piece that questions the very foundation of intimacy. Evans has matured vocally and lyrically since her early days, and here she taps into a grown, soul-searching space. She asks the hard questions—ones rooted in survival, not just romance.

4. “Make A Scene” – OMG Girlz

They’re back and they’re not here to whisper.

OMG Girlz reintroduce themselves with “Make A Scene”, a bombastic, unapologetic banger that takes the soul-pop formula and smashes it with glitter-covered confidence. It’s flashy, fierce, and full of feminine bravado. But underneath the bounce, there’s an evolved maturity in both lyric and delivery. These aren’t teeny-bopper anthems anymore—they’re full-grown affirmations.

5. “act right” – Sasha Keable

The final track in this week’s lineup is a slow-burn stunner. Sasha Keable’s “act right” is soul with sharp edges—a warning wrapped in velvet. Keable’s voice simmers with frustration, desire, and expectation. It’s not about begging for change. It’s about drawing a line.
