Fusing her experience as a theater actor with the expressive nature of R&B, Durban, South Africa, singer-songwriter Nanette crafts cathartic, unfiltered soul centered on challenges both personal and societal. For YVNG & FREE, she’s curated a collection of work from other artists who aren’t afraid to speak out, including HENNYBELIT, Moliy, Tiwa Savage, Una Rams, Hiatus Kaiyote, Lauryn Hill, Mandisi Dyantyis, Goapele, Summer Walker, and more. “I made this playlist with the intention of highlighting artists who I think have a great way of speaking about relevant topics in their music,” Nanette tells Apple Music. “These artists are shaping the futures with their art. I think that’s really honorable.” Play it on shuffle—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
