Let our weekly update blast through your speakers while you get ready for all the excitement of Super Bowl Sunday.

Obviously, all most music lovers care about today (February 12) is the Rihanna concert, or should we say, the Super Bowl. Still, you obviously need music to stream while waiting for the big event to start, and for blasting as you celebrate your favourite team's win after. Luckily for you, we've got plenty of new arrivals to talk about on our R&B Season playlist.

At the top of this weekend's update is a two-time past Halftime show performer herself, Beyoncé. Since the arrival of RENAISSANCE last summer she's been steadily delivering remixes or different versions of her disco-inspired song. After hearing several others take on the challenge, the mother of three finally released the "CUFF IT - WETTER REMIX." It blends her own song with Twista's vintage fan favourite.

Afterward, we hear from Maeta, who's bringing "S(EX)" to our roster of R&B releases. "You know the vibes and we outside tonight / Just for old times I'II let you slide in my / Feelings," her soft voice rings out. The sultry new single boasts production by OG Parker, G. Ry, and MesioMusic.

Holding things down for Canada today is Roy Woods. The "Snow White" singer had a strong 2022 thanks to releases like "Bad Bad," "Insecure," and "Speeding." On his first solo track of the new year, "Don't Love Me," will potentially land on his forthcoming Mixed Emotions effort. Many details about that remain unknown, but he previously shared that Drake will be executive producing.

Our only collaboration on the latest R&B Season list comes from Lizzo and SZA. The powerhouse vocalists came together to remix the former's "Special" single. It originally landed on her album of the same name last summer. It's the first time we've heard the Detroit and Missouri natives work together musically, though it hopefully won't be the last.

Next, we have Lucky Daye's contribution to Magic Mike's Last Dance soundtrack, "Careful," which has already been streamed upwards of 75K times on Spotify since Friday's debut. Additionally, from Kelela's beautiful new Raven project, we've selected her single from earlier in the month – "Enough for Love."

Stream our R&B Season update exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, tell us which of this week's new additions you've been loving in the comments. Finally, find more music recommendations from NAV, Shy Glizzy, and more on our Fire Emoji playlist here.
