Soft Life But Make It Soundtrack
Black women transformed “soft living” from a social trend to a full-fledged movement. It’s not just bubble baths and spa days. It is important to choose peace over fatigue. And now there’s a playlist for that.
Return to R&B reality
Gone are the high-energy anthems of chasing and proving. This new wave is about pride and slowness. Cleo Sol’s Haven offers a combination of church and soul therapy. Tems’ sultry tone conveys a sense of stylish isolation. And what about Tyla’s smooth beats? The whole vibe of my Sunday skincare ritual.
Soft life as resistance
In a world where black women are often told to be strong, gentle living music reminds us that rest is revolutionary. Celebrate compassion, connection, and joy without feeling guilty. “It’s music that lets you breathe,” says British DJ Ronke Lawal. “That’s what we needed.”
Press Play on Peace
If you haven’t already, create your own Soft Life playlist. Add “Promise” by Cleo Sol, “Me & U” by Tems, and “Truth or Dare” by Tyla. Then light the candle and pour the drink. Remember, luxury begins with how you treat yourself.
