This post is long overdue. I started doing Inside The Credits at the top of 2024 and was locked in on coming out of the gate with producers with big catalogs and cool patterns I’d noticed.

The best r&b album of the year thus far, easily, is Xavier Omar’s arguable opus HunnyMoon Mountain. While Omar’s timeless tone centers the energy, where the album truly thrives is in the variance in the production and composition. Omar maintains a smooth r&b core to his deep dive into relationship complexity, but uses an array of adjacent influences to expand that world while keeping it fluid.
