Sensual, modern, and undeniably captivating—that’s how “The Softest” introduces itself. “The Softest” is the latest single from all-female R&B trio Psiryn, made up of Anaya Chayenne, Jada Denise, and Victoria McQueen, under the creative direction of singer, producer, actress, entrepreneur, and cultural icon Kandi Burruss.
“The Softest” is a sleek and updated reinterpretation of “The Softest Place on Earth,” a beloved hit from Xscape, the ’90s R&B group that first launched Burruss into stardom.
This reimagined version drips with romantic tension and playful seduction. The lyrics invite a lover to dive deeper into intimacy, with metaphor-laced verses that hint at reaching emotional nirvana through undeniable chemistry.
“We didn’t just want to remake the song. We wanted to make it ours while still honoring the women who gave it to us first,” the group shared.
Produced by T-Nyce and songwriter Ashun, the track breathes new life into the original with lush arrangements and rich sonic layers. Burruss, along with her longtime production partner Jonathan “Jay-O” Henry and vocal producer Brandin Jay, stepped in to elevate the sound even further, crafting a refined, contemporary atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The final magic touch? The silky-smooth harmonies delivered by Chayenne, Denise, and McQueen.
“The Softest” follows the group’s breakout debut single “Sober,” a stripped-down, emotionally raw anthem about communication breakdown in relationships. That track made history, propelling Psiryn to become the first female R&B group in over two decades to top Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart.
With a softer, yet equally powerful sound, Psiryn reminds us that vulnerability can be revolutionary. Just like TLC and Destiny’s Child once did, this trio proves that female-led R&B still has stories worth singing—and hearing.
