The Ultimate ’90s Slow Jams: Building the Perfect Late-Night Playlist

The Ultimate ’90s Slow Jams: Building the Perfect Late-Night Playlist My Weekly Mixtape

We’re dialing back the tempo and turning up the nostalgia with an evening of ’90s Slow Jams. This week, I’m joined by Amanda Kohlhofer of The Sip List Podcast as we curate a playlist of our favorite slow jams from the decade that perfected late-night R&B, quiet storm vibes, and those heartfelt sing-in-the-car moments

From smooth bedroom ballads to soulful radio staples, these tracks didn’t just define the ’90s — they set the mood for an entire era. And because The Power Station covered a Marvin Gaye classic in 1996, I officially have carte blanche to say “Let’s Get It On!” and still be in the correct decade.

Whether you grew up with these songs or you’re building your first ’90s playlist, this episode will have you feeling every note. Hit play and get ready — because no decade did slow jams like the ’90s.
