Fall back in love again You broke this simple heart That used to beat for you, my friend!"Remember U" was released in 2017 as a standalone single that we all believed was eventually going to become part of her third album. It's a sweeping ballad with live instruments in a style Melanie came to be known for. Perhaps not single material, but surely a nice addition to her catalog. 19. Remember U Points: 74 Average: 15,273 Standard deviation: 3,863#LisaRinna : 9 Kelly's 10th Fan : 11 Active Aggressive : 11 Soulsista : 12 Kanenrá:ke : 14 Ty : 16 Ky : 17 Troublemaker : 19jenglisbe : 19SHOOTER : 20 .indulgecountry : 20

I could really use some sleep But you still won't let me rest Must've fallen way too deep Now I'm drowning it's so hopelessAnother standalone single from her tentative 3rd album (originally to be titled Awake), "I Tried" is a song tackling the subject of domestic violence and turbulent relationships often resulting in fatalities. 18.

What did I do Lord to deserve to be alone Thought I had a love too strong so long But you always gotta prove me wrongOne of the most interesting album tracks from Melanie's debut album The Bridge is this cute little song built on a sample of "Silly Games" by Janet Kay. She really gives this old school R&B sound a new flavor with her re-interpretation. 17.

I’ll take these perfect rankings, thank you.
It’s really a shame we only got two albums because her catalog is incredibly strong. I still enjoyed these songs even if I ranked them rather low.

Nowhere to run, I was stunned in a daze A victim of a love I can't escapeWhen she isn't giving us Motown and 60s-inspired bops Melanie loves to play with the Reggae sounds from her Caribbean heritage and she does it effortlessly. "Bite the Bullet" was the first song she put out from her unreleased 3rd album in 2015. A bop! 16. Bite the Bullet Points: 100 Average: 12,909 Standard deviation: 4,420 Kelly's 10th Fan : 4 Soulsista : 8 SHOOTER : 10 Kanenrá:ke : 11 .indulgecountry : 11 Ty : 14 Troublemaker : 14 #LisaRinna : 16jenglisbe : 16Ky : 19 Active Aggressive : 19

Here's an early bop from Melanie when she went by the name Syren Hall. Title is "Somebody Come Get Me".

The two one-offs did nothing for me, but I'd love for her to dive into the reggae direction.
I enjoy both albums. The first one was a soulful classic and the second one got more Urban/modern flavors. I don't know if she's still doing music but I feel like she could be a unique sound in the current R&B landscape.

If I could go back then you never would have gone If I knew then what I know now I'd have told you all that I feel for you in my heartAfter only scoring hits with ballads, Roc Nation tried to secure another one with a different tempo. "This Time" was the 3rd single from Melanie's second album and though it only reached #89 on the R&B chart, it's still a hot track. It was produced by No I.D. who gave it a harder/rock-ish flavor and features a nice verse by J. Cole who always delivers his bars. 14. This Time feat. J. Cole Points: 108 Average: 12,182 Standard deviation: 6,860Ky : 2 .indulgecountry : 2 #LisaRinna : 6 Troublemaker : 8 Ty : 9 Kelly's 10th Fan : 13 Soulsista : 15 Active Aggressive : 18 SHOOTER : 19 In a hurry:Kanenrá:ke : 21 jenglisbe : 21

What's a little laughter When it comes with so much pain? Oh, I'll be here forever If I wait for you to changeCo-written and produced by Salaam Remi "Runnin'" features a guest verse from Nas. This song is powerful and even though it's about a struggling relationship there's a certain warmth to it that I've always been attracted to. 9. Runnin' feat.
