There’s a man on Instagram named Mr. Cutts who runs a recurring Friday feature called “New music is cool, but have you ever heard old music?”
Each week, he shares a soul, funk, or classic R&B track — the kind that makes you pause mid-scroll and remember just how timeless great music can be.
That spirit inspired this month’s playlist.
This is a mix of soul, groove, heartbreak, joy, and immaculate production — songs that still feel fresh, no matter how many years have passed.
