Talking about rapper beef and dissecting album sales can be a fun pastime, but without exaggeration, music also has the power to change lives. Ultimately, it’s that feeling you get when a song really hits you, when you can feel it in your spine, that really matters, and R&B is unique in its ability to deliver that emotion.
So when our friends at at Pepsi Pulse asked me to put together a list of songs that have the power to really smack you in the feels, I jumped at the chance. I can still remember the first time I heard Charles Bradley’s “Why Is It So Hard” and in the four hundred times I’ve listened to that song since it’s never failed to inspire me, and I can’t horde that source of inspiration for myself. So hit that link below and check out my picks for songs that just might end up changing your life.
