I think about yesterday, somebody was talkin' to me But I couldn't understand a word they said Not that I was tryin' to be rude but conversation couldn't make it through The thoughts of love I had for you...Caviar : 2 Zinc. : 3 CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker : 3 George : 5 .indulgecountry : 5 Zeebz : 5 Wave. : 5 divasummer : 6 🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲 : 6Albie : 8 Private Dancer : 9 Linnethia Monique : 10 SHOOTER : 10 Exclusive : 11 @antigonerising : 12 Ky : 12 Soulsista : 12 Active Aggressive : 13 PGriffin : 15 Troublemaker : 15 newpower : 16 @mirza : 16 B-Boy : 17 Ty : 18 #LisaRinna : 20 Daydreamin' was the debut single released by Ashley Banks a.k.a. Tatyana Ali in the summer of 1998. Produced by Darkchild and featuring rap duo Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz (who had utilized the same Steely Dan sample for a hit of their own the year prior), the song quickly scaled the charts and became a top-10 smash in both the US and UK. The song also propelled Ali's debut album, Kiss the Sky, to Gold status. The album produced two more singles (all three cracking the top-5 on the UK R&B charts) but Ali's label, The WORK Group (a division of Sony), folded in 1999 and its roster was dissolved, leaving her without a record deal. She had been working on a sophomore album independently, titled The Light, in 2008 with 2Pac producer Johnny "J" but the project was scrapped after he was sentenced to prison (and subsequently committed suicide). Her last release was the 2014 EP Hello.

"The Things You Do (Badboy Remix)" and "Touch It" benefit from the catchy beats and production greatly.
"Make It Hot" is just alright to me. Not something I would actively seek out. I love her new materials as Lady or Lady Wray way more. She's an underrated vocal beast.

Have you ever loved someone so much you thought you'd die?

Produced by the legendary Heavy D, the record was an instant smash that went on to spend four weeks at #1 on the R&B and Rhythmic airplay charts, four weeks at #2 on the Hot 100 (behind Madonna's Take a Bow) and achieved Gold status. Their debut album of the same name produced a second top-20 hit ( Every Little Thing I Do) and hit Platinum status; they also earned a 1996 American Music Award nomination for Favorite Soul/R&B New Artist (losing to Brandy). Unfortunately, bad contracts and label drama plagued the rest of their career. After their sophomore album, For Life, slumped in 1996, they opted out of their Uptown contract for a new joint venture deal with Tommy Boy Records that fell through and caused their third album, 1999's Heat, to receive no promotion. They formed their own label in 2003 and have released sporadic singles in the years (most recently in April 2020) since but a fourth album has yet to come to fruition.

Her only trip to the Hot 100 resulted in a top-5 hit, simultaneously peaking at #2 on R&B and cracking the top-20 in the UK. Unfortunately, Nicole's next two albums (2001's Elektric Blue for Elektra and 2004's Fantasia Lovechild for Roc-a-Fella) were both shelved but, after almost a decade in semi-retirement, she found a path to career reinvention. She re-emerged in 2013 as part of the soul duo Lady with English R&B songstress Terri Walker. Several months after the release of their self-titled debut, Terri decided to return to her solo career and Nicole decided to carry on the torch as a solo artist. In 2016, Lady Wray released her debut album Queen Alone; a sophomore album is scheduled for release sometime this year.

I have no words for the six of you that couldn't bother to rank Candy Rain within your top 10. You don't listen to 90s R&B without this song.
11 year old me is judging you.

“Make It Hot” is an eternal jam! I love listening to Keli’s backing vocals on the acapella version. The instrumental is a different experience. How Missy and Tim were able to put that song together is amazing.
I’ll say it again Nicole is best suited for soulful and rock-influenced material (her works with Lady and The Black Keys).
Gina Thompson deserved better IRL, she kinda got lost in the shuffle with the other Coko clones. Another jam I like from her is “Take My Number Down” from her sophomore album.
Forever I love “Candy Rain”!
I’ll be happy with either Lisa or Adina winning this.

In 1989, she was hired by The Rolling Stones for their Steel Wheels tour, which led to a record deal with Elektra and the creation of her debut album So Intense. Its lead single, How Can I Ease the Pain, was an instant success. It went to #11 on the Hot 100, spent two weeks at #1 on R&B and earned Lisa both a Soul Train Award for Best Female R&B/Soul Single and Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Her album produced two more top-20 R&B hits but her label insisted she record a sophomore album before trying to launch a tour of her own. However, internal shifts and conflicts with the sound and direction of the material left her feeling insecure and that the process was taking too long for the album to be a success. So she asked for a release and resumed her work as a touring backing vocalist for the Stones, Vandross, Tina Turner, Sting and Nine Inch Nails among many others. In 2014, she won her second Grammy in the category of Best Music Film as part of the lineup for 20 Feet From Stardom, a documentary profiling some of the industry's most legendary background singers.

Signed to EastWest Records, the lead single from her debut album, Do You Wanna Ride?, rode straight to the top of the Hot 100 and R&B charts (peaking at #2 on both), earning Platinum status and pushing her album to Gold. Although she achieved a pair of top-40 R&B hits after this, her sophomore album ( Welcome to Fantasy Island) was shelved following a run-in with label CEO Sylvia Rhone. Becoming an independent artist at the turn of the decade, Adina's since released three more albums and became a staple on the black club and festival circuit. Her most recent single, dance track Mind Reader, was released in January 2020.

Pulse is nothing if not predictable! Thanks for rolling with this 90s R&B series! I've gotten a few requests for a 90s House RD but then I realized that is out of my depth and I would not wanna do such an iconic era injustice. Maybe Albie will get her life together someday and oblige!
