Brandy’s career has been spaciously spread over the late 90s and 2000s. She is part of that generation of R&B stars, along with Usher and Destiny’s Child, who took off in the late 90s, but started their careers at a young age and gained a wide following from their peers. From her first album released in 94’, Brandy, to her come-back album in 2020, ...
Bad Girl RiRi is another obvious member of the female R&B vocal powerhouses of the 2000s. Her debut was a little later than Beyonce’s, and her start was a bit slower without the backing of a prior group career, but she made a name for herself immediately. The first Rihanna album that BLEW UP was assuredly Good Girl Gone Bad, which was released in 2...
When you think about an artist that speaks from the soul, that owns her unique style, that is versatile, but also so original to her own sound- you think of Alicia Keys. I love how many classic R&B elements are present in her first album and throughout her discography. She carries over some of the original aspects of 90’s era R&B and mixes them wit...
Solange, the younger of the Knowles sisters, is an artist that was creating as I grew up, but whom I have found a deep love for in more recent years of my life. She made her solo debut in her album, Solo Star, in 2002. Her releases have been spread apart over time, and her entire repertoire includes only six albums released in 2002, 2008, 2012, 201...
“Let’s get it crunk up on/Have fun up on, up in this dancery/We got ya’ll open, now ya floatin’/So you gots to dance for me/Don’t need no hateration/Holleration in this dancery.” These lyrics from “Family Affair,” embody Blige’s energy. She wants you to get up and dance all night and HAVE FUN. Although Blige made her debut in the late 90’s, her sou...
It’s hard to write about Amy without producing an actual manuscript of emotion and admiration. Winehouse only has three main albums, more if you include her live albums released in recent years and movie soundtracks, but she showcases the idea of QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. Amy Winehousefits into a few genres, but her music definitely has a home in the ...
Like, Mary J Blige, Braxton made her stage in the late 90s, but the bulk of her albums were released in the early and mid-2000s. The Heatwas released in 2000 and it is HOT, for lack of a more fitting word. Her other albums followed suit, continuing to spark flames. Braxton takes a new spin on the love song by turning that love back on herself with ...
Mariah Carey is one of the best female R&B singers of the 90s, and she successfully carried over that winning streak into the 2000s. Carey’s style remains true to the classic 90’s R&B love song, resembling the slow back beat and strong vocal progressions of Whitney Houston. The Emancipation of Mimi album was sort of a turning point, in which Carey ...
Keyshia Cole entered the scene in 2005 with her album, The Way it Is, which is marked by that smooth vocal progression, slow beat, and soulful sound that makes R&B what it is. Then came my personal favorite, Just like You. I love the keyboard threaded through the drum lines. Cole owns her womanhood and the message that women are complex, strong, ca...
Jennifer Hudson hit the music scene via American Idol in 2004. She then grew her repertoire as a cast member of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls.

She is one of the only performing artists to have received an...
