Singing In Cursive

If you’ve ever lit a candle just to do laundry, this album’s for you.

After ghosting us for over a decade, Jon B slides back into the R&B scene with Waiting On You—and somehow, he hasn’t missed a beat. This 11-track collection is packed with smooth vibes, buttery vocals, and just the right dose of throwback energy to remind us why he was one of the kings of late-‘90s slow jams.

The album opens with the romantic “Chozen,” dips into nostalgia with “Priceless,” and even ropes in Rick Ross for a track that feels like sipping champagne in a silk robe. Jon also teams up with Tank and Alex Isley for some duets that might just save your relationship or situationship.

Delayed by COVID and life doing its thing, Jon took his time—and it shows. No gimmicks. No TikTok bait. Just grown-man R&B, polished and intentional. Besides Usher, not many artists in the genre are still making music that leans into love and wholesomeness, and while that might fly under the radar, it’s exactly what a lot of us needed.

So if you’re cruising on a Sunday, tired of the same old radio loop, throw Waiting On You into the mix. It’s an easygoing, soul-soothing listen that proves Jon B is still valid. Like always, harass the like, share, and subscribe button to see what’s next to come this week for the Hive!
