Producer and composer Terrence Esquire Huggins is bringing soulful storytelling back to the forefront with his latest album, GirlsLoveRnB. The 15-track project blends nostalgic R&B influences with modern production, exploring love, vulnerability, and relationships. It’s an album built for the era when R&B records ran on real emotion, meaningful lyrics and melodies you couldn’t shake.
“I’m talking about music that made you fall in love, reflect on a relationship, or sit with emotions you couldn’t necessarily explain,” Huggins tells Remixd Magazine. “I wanted to create something that paid homage to that golden era without sounding like I was trying to recreate the past.”

Moreover, for GirlsLoveRnB, Huggins approached the creative process with intention.
“As a producer, I didn’t want to just put together 15 good songs. I wanted to create an experience where every record had its own identity but still contributed to the overall story,” Huggins continued. “A lot of the process started with the music itself. Sometimes a particular chord progression would inspire an entire concept. Other times, I’d build a record around a drum pattern, a melody, or simply an emotion I wanted the listener to experience.”
In an era where music is often consumed in seconds, Terrence Esquire Huggins wants listeners to slow down and feel something again. For GirlsLoveRnB, Huggins focused on creating a cohesive listening experience that encourages audiences to reconnect with music emotionally.
“We live in a time when music is consumed so quickly that sometimes we forget to actually experience it,” he explains.
Furthermore, the album features a rotating lineup of collaborators. Each artist bringing a distinct voice and interpretation of relationships to the project. Songs like “Rose Petals,” “Purple Roses,” and “Now We Speakin'” contribute to its exploration of romance, intimacy, and emotional expression.
More about his process
“One thing I’ve learned is that the best records aren’t always the ones you spend the most time perfecting,” he says. “Sometimes they’re the ones where you allow the emotion to lead.”
He also credits the project’s collaborators with helping shape its direction. Particularly during unexpected studio moments when a vocal performance or melody transformed his original vision.
“At its core, this album is about love in all its forms: the beautiful moments, the complicated conversations, the vulnerability, and everything in between,” Huggins tells Remixd Magazine.
And as GirlsLoveRnB continues reaching new listeners, his creative mission remains straightforward.
“I never wanted to just make music people could hear. I wanted to create music people could feel, remember, and carry with them long after the song ends.”
