Giveon Covers D’Angelo’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” For Spotify’s “Are & Be” Singles
(AllHipHop News) Spotify is shining a spotlight on the Rhythm and Blues genre. The music industry giant reported the number of plays for R&B tracks doubled on the streamer in the past three years. As a result of the rising interest in R&B, Spotify is presenting a newly redesigned flagship playlist called “Are & Be.” California-bred singer/songwriter Giveon is the current cover artist for the collection. In addition, Giveon released the first “Are & Be” Spotify Singles. The Epic recording artist reworked his song “Like I Want You” and presented his own rendition of D’Angelo’s classic “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” from 2000’s Voodoo album. “Really excited to share this version of ‘Like I Want You.’ It’s a very personal piece, so stripping it down allows the vocal to be the star of the show,” says Giveon. “Also, covering an R&B classic is the icing on the cake. Working on these two songs were a beautiful time for me.” Spotify also unveiled its lists of most-streamed “Are & Be” songs and artists as of August 2020. Mahalia’s “What You Did” featuring Ella Mai was named the Top R&B song. Jhené Aiko was the overall most-streamed R&B artist. PartyNextDoor was the most-streamed male R&B artist.
