It's All About U is one of their most underrated singles (as proved by its placement here) and Lose My Cool is alright, but I'm glad they made the right decision and released Rain instead.

Lelee deserved more leads!
And that Lose My Cool video was such a hot ass mess but makes me miss the good old days when labels blew money on videos just because.

17. "Right Here"
The single that started it all. The debut single from SWV is highly underrated and overshadowed by it's Human Nature remix, nonetheless, this peaked at #13 on the R&B chart in 1992.
Who loves it? B-Boy does! It made his top ten!
Who doesn't like it? Zinc. has this one at #26

The Lose My Cool video has to be the campiest thing they or Redman has ever done. Man, Shooter, I don't even want to name the next song....it deserved to be SO MUCH HIGHER!!!

Yes, they had me bopping as soon as I heard the original "Right Here". I loved them instantly, but I wasn't prepared for all of the jams that would follow.

16. "When U Cry"
Easily one of the best songs on "Release Some Tension", the Tyrone Davis sample works brilliantly here. (XSCAPE also used this sample for their remix of "The Arms of The One Who Loves You"). Coko's vocal on this track is probably my favorite on the album.
Who loves it? SHOOTER does! It made his top 5.
Who hates it? #LisaRinna and Ty ranked it at #29 and #30 respectively.

I didn't care about Release Some Tension as a whole, and I ranked "When U Cry" at the dead bottom of my list simply because it's the only song on the list that left zero impression on me.

#15 will be released tonight! Until then, let's throw it back to this classic from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. Coko sounds absolutely HEAVENLY.
"All Night Long"

Yes!!! “All Night Long” was one of the best songs on that soundtrack and a personal fave.

15. "Fine Time"
This wasn't a single but I don't care what anyone says, this is an SWV classic! It's easily one of my favorites on the underrated "New Beginning" and I feel like it's a somber sequel to "Weak".
Who loves it? Albie Relaxing Cup Ty Ginger Spice and Zinc. all ranked it top 10!
Who doesn't like it? Wave. ranked it all the way down to #29.
What do pulse members think of "Fine Time"?
One of the best non-singles from that album.
I think it was included on the Hits package because it was a fan favorite due to it being the strongest of the three Brian Alexander Morgan tracks on New Beginning. I like the song but always found it a little boring.

14. "Someone"
Acapella: (Please press play, I'm crying)
*sigh* My favorite underrated SWV single. The "Ten Crack Commandments" sample works so well here and I appreciate Coko's subdued vocal. Though honestly, my very favorite part of the song or are those perfectly layered background vocals. (I may or may not have cried when I first heard them isolated.) "Someone" peaked at #5 on R&B and #19 on the Hot 100 in 1997.
Also, let's feast our eyes on SWV 'smost awkward live performance of all time. Coko is BARELY into it, all while looking like the Nubian princess she is in those braids. LeLee and Taj absolutely phoned this one in as well.
1997 Soul Train Awards:
The Ranking: newpower - 5 Relaxing Cup - 7 Albie - 9 Ginger Spice - 10 Linnethia Monique & Wave. - 12 shooter - 15 #LisaRinna - 17 Me. I Am Justin... - 20 B-Boy - 22 Zinc. - 24 Ty - 29
What do other Pulse members think of "Someone"?
Probably my least favorite of their Top 10 hits, but I like it.

I ignored the original version to "Right Here" for so long that I found myself listening to it all the time. The song was my introduction to the group. I saw the video maybe once and next thing I know they come out with "I'm So Into You". I heard that and "Weak" so many times the following year.
"When U Cry" is one of my Top 3 songs from Release Some Tension.
"You're The One (Allstars Remix)" will always be a bop!

For me “Someone” is more about the memories I have from the time it was released.

13. "Co-Sign"The triumphant 2012 comeback single from SWV! This was the first single from "I Missed Us" reached #10 on the Adult R&B Chart. LeLee singing the first verse had everyone excited at the time, and I think this is my favorite single from this album. I love that they know what sound their fans what from them and how we like it presented. The ladies look great in the video!
The Ranking: Wave. - 8 shooter & newpower - 9 Ty - 11 #LisaRinna & Albie - 12 Ginger Spice - 15 B-Boy - 16 Linnethia Monique - 17 Zinc. - 21 Relaxing Cup & Me. I Am Justin... - 25
What did pulse members think of it at the time of release?
This is HOT as hell! Easily one of their best singles IMO. Is that LeLe singing the first verse? Get it boo

Co-Sign is defineitly their best single since reuniting. Still don’t love it as much as most of their earlier singles, though.
