Grown & Sexy Slow Jams October 21st, 2026: Lately
Tonight’s Grown & Sexy Slow Jams opens with reassurance and follows the feelings that arrive after it: anticipation, uncertainty, desire and resolve. Tyrese, Xscape, R. Kelly and Whitney Houston are among the familiar voices guiding this ten-song selection. Give the melodies room to unfold as the evening slows down.
Start with “Lately” or choose the song that fits your mood. The full-song YouTube queue includes a direct YouTube Music link for every selection, plus Previous and Next controls. The sequence adds a little rhythmic lift in the middle before returning to patient ballads and a powerful closing voice.

Tyrese opens “Lately” with a reminder that affection needs to be expressed. His warm delivery lets a simple reassurance set the tone.
Xscape — “The Arms of the One Who Loves You”
Xscape turns reassurance into refuge on “The Arms of the One Who Loves You,” with close harmonies supporting a generous promise.
Shanice — “When I Close My Eyes”
Shanice adds a brighter lift with “When I Close My Eyes.” Her agile voice keeps the anticipation light before the set settles again.
Kenny Lattimore — “Days Like This”
Kenny Lattimore makes room for difficult moments on “Days Like This,” balancing frustration with the resolve to keep a relationship together.
Jesse Powell — “I Wasn’t With It”
Jesse Powell brings rhythmic confidence to “I Wasn’t With It.” His precise phrasing gives the middle of the sequence a little movement.
Total — “Sitting Home”

R. Kelly’s “Half on a Baby” moves the set into a more overtly sensual register, carried by an unhurried groove and layered vocals.
