Songs in A Minor
: 's Best of 2001:She may be beautiful, but Alicia Keys is a musician first and foremost. She plants herself firmly behind the piano keys on her debut, unlike many of the booty-waggin' junior divas who are crowding the R&B videoscape these days. Though many of the tracks on Songs in A Minor are embellished with adolescent angst, this 20-year-old's substantial, gorgeously soul-drenched alto putties the cracks between notes with astonishing ease. 'Fallin',' the album's first single, showcases Keys at her ...

Faith
: essential recording:'Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body....' Given George Michael's restroom hi-jinks in early 1998, those words from 'Faith' sound pretty funny, but they sounded fresh and exciting blasting out of car radios all over America in 1987. Michael's stunning solo debut (after four years in the lightweight British duo Wham!) sold seven million copies and yielded six Top 10 hits. Some of those were among the decade's best pop, including the ...

She combines a beautiful voice with an extreme generosity of spirit, making her music a dreamy, soulful delight. Lizz Mendez Berry Amazon.com:Jill Scott is the singer-songwriter who wrote the unforgettable hook on the ...

Spanning 1976 to the present, this hit-packed new compilation spotlights his inimitable ...

Elliott Yamin
: :Elliott Yamin's debut is so agreeable and well-executed it may well convert hardened R&B experts--the kind who'd normally distance themselves from a disc with a TV pedigree. With sincerity and a voice that vaults itself to places no talent-show contestant should be able to go, Yamin bares his soul here in a way that would do his hero, Donny Hathaway, proud. Tracks like 'Take My Breath Away' and 'You Are the One' find him twisting a wrench around love-stained lyrics; ...
