Kiah Rogers “Was That You” Review: A Must-Listen R&B Break

Lately, the R&B scene has been missing that specific “late-night drive” energy—the kind of music that feels intimate but polished. Kiah Rogers just filled that gap with her new single, “Was That You.” It’s soulful, it’s a little bit moody, and it’s exactly the palette cleanser your playlist needs right now.

The Vibe: Nostalgia Meets Modern Soul

We’ve all had that moment where you’re out in the world and you think you see a familiar face—an ex, a friend you lost touch with, a “what if”—and your heart does a quick double-take.

That’s the energy Kiah captures here. But instead of making it a sad ballad, she wraps that tension in a groove that feels incredibly smooth.

• The Vocals: Kiah doesn’t need to oversing. Her tone is rich and effortless, pulling you into the lyrics without trying too hard.

• The Production: It’s got that deep, rhythmic pulse that hits right in the chest, but it stays airy enough to let the melody breathe.

• The Relatability: It’s a “window seat” kind of song. It’s for those moments when you’re stuck in your head and just want a song that matches the mood.

Why It Hits Different

A lot of new music feels like it’s designed specifically for 15-second social media clips. “Was That You” feels like a complete thought. It reminds me of the early 2000s R&B era where the “vibe” was just as important as the hook, but the production keeps it feeling very much like 2026.

If you’ve been burnt out on high-tempo pop or overproduced tracks, this is your invitation to take an R&B break.
