Lead single from his debut album "1st Born Second". It also appeared in the soundtrack to "Love & Basketball". The song was a top 20 R&B hit peaking at #18 on Billboards R&B Singles chart and charting #71 on the Hot 100.

#39 Bilal, ‘Soul Sista’
2000

A vocal prodigy out of Philadelphia, singer Bilal got his record deal after cutting a demo while attending New York’s prestigious New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, and soon found himself making a record with the likes of Dr. Dre and J. Dilla producing. His 2001 debut, 1st Born Second, got love from critics for an organic, laid-back feel that typified the organic neo-soul sound of the time, especially on the LP’s breakout single, “Soul Sista,” a sumptuous ode to an exceptionally fine girl with a slow, open-ended groove and overheated background vocals that were the perfect foil to Bilal’s chill sensuality. —J.D.
