Slide into Next Steps to keep the slow jams coming.

Stone soul superstars the Isley Brothers prove they still got what it takes with the eternal slow-jam sounds of "Contagious," while neo-soul siren Jill Scott sends an oh-so-sensual message to her wayward man on "My Love." Destiny's Child coos the ultimate come-on with their full-service, night-of-passion pledge "Cater 2 U," as Tamia feeds the flow with the groove-inducing beats of "Can't Get Enough." And while Keyshia Cole looks back on love in "I Remember," fellow new-day diva Ledisi knows where she and her man are gonna be "In the Morning."

Go deep into slow-jam ecstasy in Deep Cuts.

Deep Cuts brings you and yours all the way to dawn's early light, as a tender touch of old-school arousal stirs Musiq Soulchild's boudoir ballad "Love," and Goapele flavors her slow-jam ode to "First Love" with a hit of fresh funk savoir-faire. Usher offers up a sonic tonic for the love-drunk with "U Got It Bad," while velvet-voiced crooner Joe pleads to feed his amorous addiction with "More & More." And while Corinne Bailey Rae weaves an understated spell of romantic "Enchantment," Jennifer Hudson and fellow idol Fantasia fire up their fiercest all for the potent power ballad "I'm His Only Woman."

For the ultimate in today's smoldering, take-your-time soul, we bring you Modern Slow Jams, a playlist of all things steamy, sensual, and perfectly persuasive, packed to last from the first flares of passion to the glowing embers of break-of-day afterglow. These are songs to savor like a fine wine or the lingering taste of a lover's lips, so sink deep into the sweet sway of Mariah Carey's invitation to intimacy "We Belong Together," wrap yourself in the warm embrace of John Legend's sexy "Slow Dance," and offer your devotion to the always-and-forever vows of "Until the End of Time" from duet dream team Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé. When the likes of diva supreme Mary J. Blige and Raphael Saadiq blend their voices into "I Found My Everything," they're doing more than testifying to everlasting love — they're making their case for slow-jam immortality.
