We speak to the host of the show aiming to feed your soul with sultry R&B.
R&B is thriving in almost every department in the present day, from the mainstream to the underground as new generations of talent arrive to wow fans the world over. With this consistency comes alternative entities to platform it: enter R&B SOUL FOOD.
Available now on Keakie, R&B SOUL FOOD focuses on the sweetest and most sultry R&B sounds from independent artists finding their feet in the music scene, as well as mainstream artists who are excelling in their lane. Here, nothing is off limits, as the new and old of the genre are celebrated, placed into a fresh perspective of finding gems.
We spoke to the show’s host, +44 PB, about restoring the feeling of potent R&B, creating a space for discovery and taking listeners on a journey through space through music.
“I noticed there was still a conversation happening on whether “R&B is dead” and I wanted this show to emphasise that R&B IS NOT DEAD!”
What is the premise of R&B SOUL FOOD?
I wanted to create a platform that “puts you on” to music you wish you knew about whether it be new or old. I want listeners to feel the art that goes into the music, I want them to feel like they’re on a journey travelling through space surrounding by feel good music.
How did the idea of your show come about?
I noticed there was still a conversation happening on whether “R&B is dead” and I wanted this show to emphasise that R&B IS NOT DEAD! In fact, it continues to thrive as time goes on and there are so many R&B musicians that are excelling in their lane who deserve to be recognised for their art.

I want listeners to feel that same feeling but through R&B SOUL FOOD, essentially. I want listeners to feel like I’ve fed their soul with some much-needed music.
