Mya’s “Fallen” should have be a massive hit. It is beautifully written and produced, samples The Pharcyde's "Runnin'" perfectly, had some gorgeous cover art, and the stunning music video looked like a mini-movie. “Fallen” had all the elements of a career-defining single.

Her name is Toni Braxton.

what’s a face card that’s never declined

After 35 years, Janet Jackson's "Come Back to Me" remains one the most beautiful songs in her discography. Those opening harmonies are perfection.

Amerie's Touch era promo photos were all fashion magazine covers.

models can thank god that __________ isn’t a model

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

Every live performance of Amerie’s “1 Thing” is a reminder of her star power — especially her June 2005 performance on Top of the Pops.

Patti Labelle gave us the best talk show theme song of all time when she told us to “Get with the Program” for the 1997 season of Oprah.

What theme song went #1 on your Theme Song Hot 100?!

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

Amerie’s six singles between her debut album Touch and second Because I Love It showed off her sonic strengths. She had the commercial hits “1 Thing” and “Gotta Work,” the sultry “That’s What U R,” and knocking “Talkin About.” Each single highlighted her versatility as an artist.

what’s an insane single run

Kelly Rowland was a supermodel in the “Coffee” video.

What’s the best someone has ever looked in a music video?

@ruthesamuel I am still in shock highkey.
I had accepted defeat but my blessings shined down today. LOL

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

Sister Sledge still has some of the prettiest album cover photos I have ever seen.

@blizzyblaakee Don't be ashamed.
I've always enjoyed Will as a rapper.
And folks act like we weren't all rocking to "Switch" and reciting every line of "Miami." 😂😫

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

@circa1990z @thrillarybanks @kevynrichmond YUP. Coko said she wanted to be in the video and said she never called Will corny. That was a rumor.

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

"Men In Black" wouldn't have been a hit single for Will Smith without the vocals of Coko from SWV. Coko singing down on that chorus in her distinct tone is the most memorable part of the entire song.

[NFR Podcast @nfr_podcast]

What’s a rap song where the vocalist featured took it to another level?

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

Oh and I'll add that Coko wasn't in the "Men in Black" music video because her label wouldn't allow her to film for it.

She spoke to Urban Bridgez back in 2013 about not being allowed to participate in the video — even though she did want to be in it.

Brandy's fourth album Afrodisiac is often overlooked in convos about her most influential projects. The album most excels in the gritty, moody mid-tempos and ballads like "How I Feel" and "Focus." Afrodisiac was an early explorer of the moody R&B sound that's so prevalent today.

[NFR Podcast @nfr_podcast]

Name an album you feel that people should be talking about more

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

There's no one comparing to Victoria Monét when it comes to the crossover of her writing, producing, singing, dancing, and creative direction from project to project. She consistently delivers quality sonic experiences with visuals to match. "Party Girls" is the latest example.

The cast of All American Homecoming is the most beautiful cast on TV right now. Face cards are all unmatched.

@SopeSoetan This show has me CAUGHT UP.

[hymnlynes @hymnlynes]

I do know that Bravo better be working on a #TheQueensofRB reunion show with SWV and Xscape. We all deserve.
