A soundtrack for when you want your day to feel cinematic - warm, textured, and quietly powerful.

Inspired by Black Pumas’ ‘Colors,’ this week’s MOLTN playlist blends modern soul, alt-funk, indie warmth, and that hazy golden-hour energy you can’t fake.

If ‘River’ by Leon Bridges has a permanent home in your playlist, consider this your natural next step.
We’ve gathered a selection of artists who live in that same gentle pocket - soul that feels timeless, indie that’s heartfelt, and rhythms that move with you. Think: Erykah Badu, Aaradhna, Raveena and Michael Kiwanuke, among others.

Expect warm vocals, thoughtful production, and songs made for long drives, quiet evenings, and those in-between moments when life feels like a film - subtle, honest, and beautifully lit.

Whether you’re working, wandering, or just trying to stay sane, consider this your new weekly ritual.
