Seattle native UMI crafts distinct R&B with a laidback, lo-fi style. Her exclusive Apple Music playlist of favourites from Thundercat, Brent Faiyaz and others reflects that sensibility: “Music is my form of healing—these are some of my favourite R&B songs, ranging from the ’90s to now,” she explains. “I was especially inspired by the uplifting sonics of these songs—they bring me peace, joy and high vibrations. I hope they can do the same for you!”
