Kandi Burruss + Psiryn = The Softest Place on Earth Reborn
KANDI BURRUSS TEAMS WITH BILLBOARD-BREAKING GIRL GROUP PSIRYN FOR “THE SOFTEST”
Modernizing 90s intimacy for today’s audience, the trio reimagines Xscape’s iconic slow jam into a lush, modern anthem that honors the original while carving out space for a new era of R&B.
LISTEN TO “THE SOFTEST” HERE
After making history as the first R&B girl group in over two decades to top Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart with their breakout single Sober, Psiryn returns with intention. Their new single The Softest revisits Xscape’s beloved ballad The Softest Place on Earth, blending 90s nostalgia with today’s unapologetic softness and sensuality. Listen HERE.
Produced by T-Nyce and written by Ashun, the record was crafted to feel intimate, layered, and modern. The track was brought to Kandi Burruss, one of the original members of Xscape, who partnered with longtime collaborator Jonathan “Jay-O” Henry and vocal producer Brandin Jay to reimagine the song for a new generation.
When Kandi introduced the song to Psiryn (Anaya Chayenne, Jada Denise, and Victoria McQueen), the energy was instant. There was no overthinking, no hesitation—just three voices fully in sync with a moment they knew was bigger than the music.
The Softest is not just a remake. It is a continuation. A slow-burning, harmony-rich record that draws listeners into a space where vulnerability, pleasure, and power all exist in equal measure. The group’s vocal chemistry meets the song’s emotional depth, creating something that feels both familiar and completely new.
Since its release, The Softest has also been gaining major playlist traction. The song is currently featured on Spotify’s R&B Weekly and several key Apple Music playlists including Emerging R&B Songs, Best New R&B Songs, New in R&B, and Day One. This early support reflects the song’s growing cultural resonance and the industry’s recognition of Psiryn’s staying power.
Psiryn’s approach is intentional. Where Sober was raw and reflective, The Softest leans into sensuality and self-awareness. This release marks the group’s evolution, not just as rising charting artists but as cultural storytellers defining what softness means on their own terms.
