If words of affirmation are your love language, Latino R&B singer Ztilo's Positive Vibes Only performance of his single "I Got You" might send your heart into overdrive.

Formerly operating in the realm of hip-hop as Cristiles, the Bay Area native returned to music earlier this year as Ztilo after a nearly four-year hiatus. With nine singles under his belt as Ztilo, the bilingual R&B act has shown a knack for blending his past rap bravado with his present emphasis on emotions.

Watch below to see how Ztilo blends the two on the newest edition of Positive Vibes Only.

Ztilo has worked closely with Los Angeles-based sound engineer Zach Steele on all nine of his singles. Steele is known for his work with legendary rap and R&B artists like Diddy, Timbaland, Nas and Travis Scott.

What's not to like about Flor de Toloache?

They're New York City's first and only all-female mariachi band. The members come from diverse cultural backgrounds, tracing back to three separate continents and nine different countries. And they put their own clever spin on the classic mariachi sound.

As a result, Flor de Toloache delivers performances like the Positive Vibes Only episode below—the kind of showings that force you to get up and move.

Watch Flor De Toloache Perform "Indestructible"

"Indestructible" is the title song from the mariachi band's 2019 album, which earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards.

The all-female group is no stranger to critical acclaim. In 2017, Flor de Toloache won a Latin GRAMMY for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album for their sophomore album Las Caras Lindas.

Positive Vibes Only: Watch Blanca Perform A Sinuous Rendition Of "Even At My Worst"

In a way, the chief component of the below clip is silence. Between Blanca's impassioned vocal and some droning Nord chords is an ocean of space, demonstrating what can happen when you give a song room to breathe.

Another part of it is vulnerability: Her lyrics have that attribute in spades. "My insecurities are like a siren/Taking over me, and I can't hide them," she confesses in the song. "Even then, you see the best in me that I can't see."

Blanca Performs Sinuous "Even At My Worst"

In the newest episode of Positive Vibes Only, let Blanca's open-hearted performance wash over you like a wave. In an era when it's seemingly an admittance of weakness to apologize, her humility feels ever more potent.

We're now entering the second March of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite vaccines being rolled out worldwide, many are falling victim to a feeling of hopelessness. To Lewis Howes, gratitude is our sharpest weapon for when we feel ourselves spiraling, gripped by COVID fatigue.

"It's really hard to be anxious, stressed, overwhelmed and angry while you're being grateful," the author, keynote speaker and entrepreneur says in the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only.

"So, anytime you're feeling those emotions, thoughts or frustrations, focus on something you're so grateful for," he continues. This, he explains, could be as minor as a meal or as major as a transformative experience with a loved one.

Howes then introduces Mali Music, a four-time GRAMMY-nominated gospel-R&B great, who performs his deeply spiritual ode to divine favor, "My Blessings." Mali Music is currently nominated for Best Gospel Performance/Song for his 2020 song "Movin' On," with Jonathan McReynolds, at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards show.
