Eye Candy: Sexy R&B Singers We Love

Now that we know Usher's a "Good Kisser" we started thinking about all of the other sexy crooners we'd like to pucker up with. See if your favorite made our hot list, now!
By Charli Penn · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Usher Raymond

Sexy crooner and host of The Voice, Usher Raymond, never disappoints. He brings his own signature sexy swag to every single, performance and smirk and we couldn’t be happier about it. (For evidence, see his hot new video for single “Good Kisser”.) Hello, Mr Raymond!

Trey Songz

The guy who says he’ll make you “think [he] invented sex,” Trey Songz, can back up his claims. Just watch any clip from one of his tour performances and you may become a believer. We can’t wait to see him take to the stage at this year’s 20th anniversary ESSENCE Festival! Are you ready?

Tank

Watching Tank sing and play the keyboard is pretty much as close as you can get to making love while you’re sitting at your desk — without getting fired on the spot. Those puppy dog eyes and smoochable lips are what daydreams are made of.

Jason Derulo

Chart-topper Jason Derulo can “talk dirty” to us any time. (Jordin Sparks is one lucky lady!)

Aloe Blacc

Singer and songwriter Aloe Blacc really is “The Man” on the music scene right now and all eyes are on this rising star for good reason.

Maxwell

The velvety-voiced soul crooner returned to the scene in 2010 after an eight year hiatus with less ’fro, but more sexy.

Eric Benét

Eric Benét makes music for the grown and sexy crowd and makes fans rock and sway with every tune. Look out for his latest album from E to U: Volume 1 which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Tyrese

Bald and beautiful singer Tyrese has been cranking out sexy songs to fall in love to since the 90s. His last album, Open Invitation, and his tour with group TGT to promote their most recent release, Black Rose, were all about pleasing the ladies — who’s not loving that?

Q. Parker

The sexy chocolate drop who once fronted hit R&B group 112 has made quite a name for himself as a solo act. When he’s not releasing covers of hit songs like Beyonce’s “1+1,” and making them his own, he’s teaching men how to love on his latest album MANual.

Luke James

New Orleans native Luke James is one to watch. James belts out powerhouse vocals beyond compare on his hit singles “I Want You” and “Make Love to Me.” Add a little sex appeal, and you’ve got the makings of a true star. Plus, Beyoncé’s a huge fan and you know the Queen likes to keep good company.

Kenny Lattimore

We have forever-sexy crooner Kenny Lattimore to thank for wedding favorites like “For You” and “This Time Is Forever.” At 44, this man hasn’t aged a bit since stepping onto the scene as a solo artist in 1996. Ladies, this is what you call grown and sexy.

Kem

Kem’s soulful ballads make our hearts melt on the spot, and that smooth bald head and beautiful chocolate complexion make our souls shake too.

Jamie Foxx

We give Jamie Foxx complete control. Everything he touches turns to gold, so we know we’re in good hands.

14
Ginuwine

We’ve been stuck on Ginuwine since he brought us “Pony” as a young stunner from D.C. Now that he’s all grown up, we’re glad he still makes music for a mature audience and happy to see him doing his thing with his bandmates in TGT.

Ryan Leslie

Harvard graduate Ryan Leslie is the definition of swagger. A singer, rapper, producer, entrepreneur and multi-instrumentalist, Ryan can play our heartstrings like a concert violinist.

16
Bruno Mars

Every girl wants a guy who would “catch a grenade” for her. As cute as Bruno Mars is, we sure hope he never has to.

17
Craig David

British crooner Craig David doesn’t show up state-side very often, but when he does, we always have a good time. For instance — have you seen him shirtless? It’s worth a look! Two tickets to his next world tour, please.

Miquel

Edgy, soulful singer Miguel has solidified himself as a sexy, soulful singer who’s here to stay. With two smash hit albums under his belt and chart-topping duets all over the charts, we just can’t stop listening to Miguel. (Or looking at him!)

John Legend

John Legend’s signature brand of smooth, soulful R&B and gorgeous grin continue to be the perfect combination. Yes, John, take us there.

Raheem Devaughn

Neo-soul king Raheem Devaughn is known for providing the sexy soundtrack for many of our most romantic nights. His last studio album A Place Called Love Land really took us there.
