I absolutely love "All Cried Out." Such a gorgeous song! I'm shocked it didn't peak higher on the R&B charts.
I don't think I heard of "Head Over Heels" but that's a really good and fun song.
Oops, didn't realize there was a new page of extras. But yay more good jams here!
I really like "Up Jumps Da Boogie." And I really love "Mo Money Mo Problems" and "Feel So Good." Those are all great jams! "Mo Money Mo Problems" not topping the R&B charts is also surprising.

First extra for today was first released on the soundtrack to the movie Booty Call. It topped the R&B airplay chart, but because RCA took so long to release the single, it could only muster a #31 peak on the main R&B chart. Features Missy Elliott, who wrote and produced the song with Timbaland, and was later included on their third album Release Some Tension.
Can We - SWV
Their next single peaked at #5 R&B and #19 on the Hot 100. Features Puff Daddy, who co-produced it. It was also co-written by Kelly Price and samples two songs by The Notorious B.I.G., "The World Is Filled..." and "Ten Crack Commandments".

Oooh these extras are giving me all sorts of life.
Allure, "Sock it 2 Me," "Feels So Good," "Can We," and so on!
I'd also like to shout out 7 Mile who were on Mariah's label. I loved their singles "Just a Memory" and "Do Your Thing."

I thought “I Believe In You And Me” was going to smash.
It did well due mostly to sales and movie promo.
I think it’s beautiful.
However her airplay started to drop a lot after “Exhale”.
I always wished they promoted the epic club mix to “Step By Step” to pop radio.
The original did a bit better than “I Believe In You And Me” at top 40, but came and went very quickly.
I personally liked it, but didn’t love it back then. She sounds fierce though.
I guess RnB radio supported both songs more at least.

- Oooh I absolutely love "Honey." And also really love the music video too.  - I like "Got 'Til It's Gone" but it's probably my least favorite single off of The Velvet Rope. |
