"Un-thinkable (I'm Ready) balances the fear of commitment with the chance of a love of a lifetime. The laid-back track takes a conversational approach, which aligns with Drake's co-writing on the track. Keys is no stranger to love songs; her catalogue is filled with them, and they're all hits. But Un-thinkable is a standout. It's grown and sexy but honest and real. This one is for all the lovers too scared to make the first move: I was wondering maybe."
"With the braggadocious tone of NY drill and the sensuality of r&b, Vontee The Singer (and the rest of Slizzy Entertainment) finds his pocket. IMU from his 2024 effort, Lovers & Friends, is definitely a highlight for the genre itself, especially with an assist from the genre's forefounder, Cobain. Vontee finds himself questioning why he and his partner keep playing games; something every toxic couple asks themselves. Despite how toxic they are, they're never leaving each other alone."
Valentine's Day selections focus on love songs from artists rooted in New York City, with an emphasis on R&B as the genre. The choices span classic and contemporary tracks that capture the love felt in NYC neighborhoods. Alicia Keys (Hell's Kitchen) contributes "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)", which balances fear of commitment with the chance of a lifelong love and uses a conversational approach co-written by Drake. The song projects a grown, sexy, and honest tone. Vontee The Singer and Cash Cobain (Bronx) contribute "IMU", a 2024 Sexy Drill highlight that blends NY drill braggadocio with R&B sensuality and examines cyclical, toxic relationship dynamics. Jadakiss (Yonkers) is also featured with "By Your Side."
