The Playlist: Songs To Play At 2AM When You Know You Shouldn’t Text
Late-night R&B playlist to process emotions and avoid regretful texts at 2AM
Black News 
It is 2 in the morning. Your phone is in your hand. You have been staring at a name in your contacts for the last twenty minutes and your thumbs are dangerously close to doing something your future self is going to have to regret. Put the phone down, press play and let these songs process whatever you are feeling, so you do not have to send that text and explain yourself in the morning. Check out our 2AM playlist for when you know you absolutely should not text.
We have all been there and we are not here to judge you. We are here to redirect you. There is something about late-night R&B that hits completely differently than it does in the daylight. The same song that sounds like background music at noon becomes a full emotional experience at 2AM when the house is quiet and you are alone with your thoughts, your feelings and your recent call history.
As Rated R&B has long documented, the best R&B of this generation was built precisely for these moments — the ones where you are not quite over something and you need the music to say what you cannot bring yourself to say out loud.
This playlist is not meant to make you feel better immediately. It is meant to make you feel everything properly so you can actually move through it. So make yourself comfortable, put on your headphones and let these songs take you exactly where you need to go tonight.
