The couple has been working together frequently as of late, sharing their "4 Me" collab on Toliver's "Love Sick" album last month.

Our first R&B Season update of March may be short, but we promise that it's still seriously sweet. From this week's New Music Friday arrivals, we've selected the best of the best for your listening pleasure. At the top of the list today (March 5) is a duo we've been hearing a lot from lately – Kali Uchis and her man, Don Toliver.

In February, the Cactus Jack artist unleashed his most ambitious project to date, Love Sick. "Private Landing" with Justin Bieber and Future, as well as "Leave The Club" featuring Lil Durk and GloRilla are obvious favourites. Still, it was his romantic collaboration with the Colombian songstress on "4 Me" that really caught our attention. Following in Toliver's footsteps, Uchis shared her Red Moon In Venus album earlier this week. So far, plenty of praise has been pouring in.

The young lover's link-up on "Fantasy" is at the top of our R&B Season update this week. Of course, Uchis' entire effort is worth a listen if you have the time. Other noteworthy guest appearances come from Omar Apollo on "Worth the Wait," and Summer Walker on "Deserve Me."

Music lovers were excited to hear from 6LACK for the first time in 2023 this month. The Baltimore-born lyricist shared his "Since I Have A Lover" single to an undeniably warm welcome, with nearly 687K streams amassed on Spotify already. He also revealed that his upcoming album will have the same name, and is due out on March 24th.

This will mark the 6LACK's long-awaited follow-up to his 2018 project, East Atlanta Love Letter. That yielded fan favourites like "Pretty Little Fears" with J. Cole and "Switch," as well as "Seasons" featuring Khalid. As the debut date nears closers, we're eagerly waiting to find out which other tracks will land on our R&B Season playlist.

Our final pick of the week comes from the always groovy Masego, whose self-titled album has been in constant rotation since Friday. Our favourite from the 14-song tracklist is "What You Wanna Try," however all of the Jamaican's previously released singles are great too.

Stream it all on our weekly R&B Season update, exclusively on Spotify, below. Afterward, tell us which new arrivals you think we may have missed in the comments. If you're in need of more release recommendations, you can find them on our Fire Emoji playlist here.
