SOUND MIND PLAYLIST SERIES
Sound Mind is a three-part R&B playlist series that centers the mental and emotional well-being of Black and Brown folks. Curated by artist and creative wellness advocate Alonté Cross, this project pairs soul-stirring music with the real-life experiences of healing, hardship, and rebirth.
In partnership with Courtney Brown, LCP of Obstacles Under Recovery, these playlists are grounded in therapeutic insight and emotional truth, designed to meet listeners wherever they are on their mental health journey.
Each playlist is more than a vibe. It’s a mirror.
-
THE HEALING
Gentle, introspective R&B to soothe the nervous system, quiet intrusive thoughts, and encourage emotional safety. This is your reset button.
-
THE STORM
A raw, cathartic collection that leans into emotional overwhelm, burnout, heartbreak, and vulnerability. Sometimes the only way out is through.
-
THE REBIRTH
Empowering, soul-forward anthems that honor transformation, clarity, confidence, and the climb back up. A reminder that you can begin again, and again.
WHY IT MATTERS
Mental health is more than a trending topic, it’s a survival tool. Especially in our communities, where emotional pain is often minimized or ignored, Sound Mind offers space to feel deeply, reflect honestly, and connect intentionally.
This series reflects the shared mission of Crossfade Productions and O.U.R.: to challenge stigma, support emotional resilience, and amplify healing through art, education, and authenticity.
We believe that music can be medicine. That creativity can be a catalyst for change. That vulnerability is a superpower.
This is what it sounds like when art holds space for healing.
