While new to the R&B arena, many may recognize CANDIACE as Miss United States 2013 and a castmate on Bravo's Real Housewives of Potomac. Drive Back is the lead single from her debut album, Deep Space, released last month via eOne.

[SHOOTER]

Honestly, I liked everything on this list except my bottom-3 so my ranks mean nothing! Drive Back is cute.

Nigerian-American duo VanJess came to America while still in elementary school and enrolled in a performing arts school which led to talent show performances, local buzz and an appearance on VH1's The Linda Perry Project in 2014. After the show, they continued to record music independently and gained enough support to help self-release their debut album, Silk Road, in 2018. Within six months of its drop, a deal was inked with Keep Cool/RCA. Homegrown was their first full project released through the label with its deluxe edition dropping last month.

Like a penny with a hole in it, y'all just hopeless

Neva Gonna Break My Heart Again is the second taste of Tweet's highly anticipated fourth album (or next EP - still unsure) expected to be released at some point in the future by eOne. Her first single, Neva Felt This Way, was released in August 2020.

Over is Lucky Daye's first release since his Valentine's EP Table for Two dropped earlier this year. It's assumed to be the first single from his yet-to-be-announced sophomore album; his Grammy-nominated debut, Painted, was released in May 2019.

It's definitely not her best. It's just....there.

Tweet can sing the ingredients to Pepto-Bismol and I'd buy it! Hush!

There's a few that need to go, but the Top 12 is solid.

Between Us was included on indie queen Alina Baraz's Sunbeam EP that dropped last month. Its companion, Moongate, drops at midnight!

Nigerian singer/songwriter/producer Tems has exploded in popularity thanks to her feature on Wizkid's international smash Essence. Vibe Out is the closing track on her second EP, If Orange Was a Place, which dropped last month.

The next two songs tied so I broke it based on top ranks as this song received only one #1. Once again, someone thought it's the best song here and someone else thought it's the worst.
