“Bringing Apple Music’s R&B Now playlist to life with a weekly show gives me a chance to spotlight rising artists and new movements, revisit nostalgic moments, and have bigger conversations about the evolution of the R&B landscape,” she added.
Alexis debuted the show May 8, 2020 with an interview with Kehlani. The two discussed the Bay Area artist’s latest album, working through the COVID-19 pandemic and much more.
Alexis will continue to host the show as well as her popular Complex talk show, Everyday Struggle.
