Grown and Sexy Slow Jams August 26, 2026: Ten Turn-of-the-Century R&B Favorites

Usher, K-Ci & JoJo, and Aaliyah anchor the Grown & Sexy Slow Jams set for August 26, 2026.

Grown and Sexy Slow Jams August 26, 2026 leans into the records that carried late-’90s and early-2000s R&B from radio countdowns into real-life memories. Every selected artist clears the seven-day rotation, every song clears the available 30-day record, and every title has a verified Apple Music preview plus a matching full-song destination.

Usher — “Nice & Slow”

Usher turns anticipation into a patient invitation, letting the record’s clipped rhythm and close vocal set the room’s pace.

K-Ci & JoJo — “All My Life”

The brothers build devotion from a piano-led opening into a harmony-rich promise made for weddings, dedications, and late-night radio.

702 — “Get It Together”

The trio balances accountability and longing, using precise group vocals to make a relationship ultimatum sound vulnerable instead of cold.

Aaliyah — “4 Page Letter”

Aaliyah delivers a private confession over Timbaland’s spacious production, giving every pause as much meaning as the words around it.

Kelly Price — “You Should’ve Told Me”

Price sings betrayal with gospel-rooted force, but the performance stays controlled enough for every accusation to land clearly.

Glenn Lewis — “Don’t You Forget It”

Lewis turns reassurance into a smooth neo-soul glide, carrying quiet confidence without crowding the groove.

Tweet — “Smoking Cigarettes”

Tweet makes loneliness feel lived-in, pairing conversational detail with production that moves like thoughts after midnight.

Beyoncé — “Speechless”

Beyoncé stretches desire across a slow-burning arrangement, moving from breathy restraint toward a vocal release that never feels rushed.

Dru Hill — “Never Make a Promise”

Baltimore’s own Dru Hill brings church-shaped harmony to a warning that commitment only matters when the words can be kept.

Alicia Keys feat. Tony! Toni! Toné! and Jermaine Paul — “Diary”

Keys closes the set with piano, trust, and layered soul, turning emotional safety into the night’s final invitation.

Tonight’s sequence moves from anticipation and devotion through honesty, absence, desire, and trust. Revisit the August 25 Grown & Sexy Slow Jams edition for another rotation-cleared set, and keep Power 104.7 Baltimore | Power1047.com on after dark.
