El rhythm and blues (abreviado por sus siglas R&B) o jumping music es un género musical derivado en su origen del jazz, el gospel y el blues. El término musical fue introducido en Estados Unidos en 1949 por Jerry Wexler de la revista Billboard. Sustituyó al término conocido como "race records" (grabaciones de raza), considerado ofensivo para la posguerra mundial así como para la categoría de Billboard "Harlem Hit Parade" en junio de 1949, y principalmente era usado para identificar el género musical que más tarde se desarrollaría en forma de rock and roll.
A medio camino entre el R&B indie y el soft-rock, las composiciones de la jovencísima cantante londinense Arlo Parks hablan sobre la cotidianidad de una nueva generación rota y triste. Sus temas, inspirados en sus amigos y sus propios problemas y esperanzas, son piezas delicadas y melancólicas de gran carga emocional. Parks llega a Barcelona para presentar su primer EP, Super Sad Generation, con el que se ha ganado el reconocimiento unánime de la crítica en el Reino Unido. Sus ni-tan-sólo 20 años dan todavía más valor a esta artista, que ha sido comparada con artistas como Portishead o Syd Barrett.
Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho (Londres, Reino Unido; 9 de agosto de 2000), conocida profesionalmente como Arlo Parks, es una cantautora y poeta británica.

Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Charlie drank it, till his eyes burned
And forgot to eat his lunch
Pain was built in to his body
Heart so soft it hurt to be
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely, to feel something for once?
Yeah, wouldn't it be lovely, to feel something whole
(Mmm, mmm)
I know you can't let go, of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
Charlie melts into his mattress
Watching Twin Peaks on his ones
Then his fingers find the bottle
When he starts to miss his mum
(Mmm, mmm)
Wouldn't it be lovely, to feel something for once?
Yeah, wouldn't it be lovely, to feel worth something, huh?
(Mmm, mmm)
I know you can't let go, of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
Charlie started seeing stars, so stuck on the new Jai Paul
Said: My clothes are sticking to me and I can't quite see my walls
Started dreaming of a house with red carnations by the windows
Where he didn't feel so small, so overwhelmed by all his flaws
I know you can't let go, of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
I know you can't let go, of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
I know you can't let go, of anything at the moment
Just know it won't hurt so
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much forever
Won't hurt so much
Won't hurt so much
